Modular balconies raise the comfort level of newly built apartment houses in the Asemantausta neighborhood in Lahti, Finland. The stainless steel structural tubes processed by Stalatube and Hiomapojat are a vital part of this durable, high-quality solution.
The task was clear; Finnish balcony builder CM-Rakentajat set out to deliver 100 modular balconies to be installed in the new apartment houses built by YIT in the residential Asemantausta neighbourhood in Lahti. Assembled at the factory site with rails, coating and even wood floor grids, the balconies are delivered to the construction site ready-to-install. The short construction time and durability make modular balconies a sought-after solution.
CM-Rakentajat trusted the production of stainless steel structural tubes for its modular balconies with Stalatube and Hiomapojat. Hiomapojat acted as a subcontractor for CM-Rakentajat.
