Bakırköy’s housing largely consists of planned estates: the 1970s blocks and newer phases of Ataköy, garden apartments in Yeşilköy and Florya, and middle-aged blocks in Kartaltepe and Zeytinlik. In blocks close to the sea, salty air gradually oxidises aluminium profiles. That is why we recommend electrostatic powder-coated or anodised profiles, stainless hardware and brush seals in this area.
In the Ataköy estates, glass balconies can usually only be fitted in the colour and system set by site management. Bringing the management decision to the survey speeds things up.
In the garden houses of Yeşilköy and Florya, winter garden and bioclimatic pergola requests stand out. For homes near the flight path, double glazing also helps with noise; for a full acoustic solution we can discuss laminated double glazing at the survey.
Bakırköy is an area where transfer and shuttle vehicles work intensively. Left alone, a chip turns into a crack and leads to a full windscreen replacement, so we recommend regular chip checks for fleet vehicles. For private cars we can replace on site at Ataköy Marina or a mall car park.
Glass balcony maintenance
In seaside estates, salt build-up makes the tracks stiff. We recommend a yearly glass balcony maintenance visit to check wheels, seals and locks; it usually takes an hour.
Tip: Because of traffic on the E-5 service road, morning appointments are completed faster.
