Shutters, Awnings and Bespoke Stairs
Bespoke shutters, awnings and stairs serve different needs: controlling light, making use of outdoor space or connecting floors. Dimensions and finishes should suit the building and the use of each element.
MILOBRAS plans and carries out this work exclusively within complete renovations of apartments and houses. We assess dimensions, supports and installation conditions before defining the component and preparing for fitting.
Shutters, Awnings and Staircases Within a Renovation
Planning should anticipate points that will later be less accessible. A powered shutter may require wiring, while an awning or staircase depends on supports that need to be prepared.
Custom Shutters and Light Control
Custom shutters help control light, privacy, thermal comfort and security. The right solution depends on the window dimensions, sun exposure, type of frame, available space and expected frequency of use.
For shutters, we check existing boxes, guides and mechanisms. If the solution includes motorisation, controls and power routes are planned before the interior finishes are completed.
Awnings for Balconies, Terraces and Outdoor Areas
Awnings can improve the use of balconies, terraces, entrances and other outdoor areas. Their specification should account for sun exposure, wind, fixings, drainage, colour, materials and maintenance. An unsuitable solution may cause discomfort, premature wear or safety problems.
When a project includes facade work, window frames, exterior painting or waterproofing, we integrate the awning into the renovation sequence. This helps protect the fixing points and ensures more coherent finishing details.
Safe Custom Staircases
Custom staircases provide access between floors, attics, mezzanines, service areas or spaces with unusual dimensions. They may be made from timber, metal, glass or a combination of materials. Safety, proportion and comfortable use must always remain the priorities.
A staircase should have an appropriate slope, firm support, suitable railings and a durable finish. Compact solutions may be required in smaller spaces. In larger interiors, the staircase can become an important part of the home’s architectural design.
Integration with Building Services and Finishes
Shutters, awnings and staircases interact with several parts of a renovation. They may depend on electrical work and building services, carpentry and metalwork, insulation, waterproofing, painting or interior finishes.
As part of an interior renovation, we plan installation to protect finished surfaces and keep access clear. Each component should suit the design and work well in daily use.
Examples of staircases in renovated interiors
Explore solutions used in renovations completed by MILOBRAS:
- For the complete rehabilitation of a T6 house in Queijas, the staircase between the floors was renovated with wooden treads and geometric tiles on the risers.
- As part of the renovation of a duplex apartment in Parede, a spiral staircase with a metal structure connects the floors.
