We are in the final stages of renovating a functionalist house from the 1930s. Last summer, we built a new balcony with a new railing, but we are still missing a sheet for the railing. We are thinking of a nice sinusoidal sheet typical of 1930s functionalist houses - think Gärdet or Södra Ängby.
What I don't understand is how to find a sheet that fits. All the sheets I find are about 110 cm wide and are overlapped. I think the seams seem quite visible, and when looking at older balconies, I can't find any seams, so I'm on the lookout for wider sheets. It feels like I've checked all the steel or aluminum sheet wholesalers without success. Does anyone know if there are wider segments than just over 1m?

Check with hogstad aluminium, by the way, it's jointed in the first image..
I will do that, but on the website, it says that the width is just over a meter, but I will double-check. Thank you.

Unfortunately, the plate is only one meter wide if I understood the seller at ekonomistål correctly. Otherwise, a good alternative.T Taxture said:[link]
Quick googling
But isn't it just a joint? Not a joint every meter as it would be with narrower sheets at just one meter? However, the image is low-resolution, so it's hard to see.
I will check with Pokab. Thanks for the tip.H HenrikNe said:

All the balconies I have seen are jointed... (quite a few.. I'm a tinsmith..)

Now I sound like an idiot but are you sure? When I look at some older balconies with sinusoidal sheet metal, sure, there's a joint of course, but not a joint every meter which seems to be standard on new sheets. Or am I missing the joint?H hanson#16 said:
Not here either. I'm puzzled because I've had a good sheet metal worker here whom I've discussed the same thing with and he says the same, that it's normal with shorter sheets of one meter. And ekonomistål that sells classic sinus sheets says the same thing. But when I look at older balconies, I don't see the seams. Starting to think I've developed neglect for seams
