there is a balcony in my master room and i think i will not be going to the balcony very often. Thinking of covering it up and at least it could be a play place for my daughter.. or maybe reading area... any suggestion on how to do it? hmm.... putting up the whole 1-piece tempered glass is one of the choice but i feel it will looks like an aquarium.. hehe... or else just normal windows?

provided u got enuf money to use safety glass, break proof, thickness that can bear loads. and need nice tinting^^
ts house is double story house, if use normal glass = easy break in^^
u should use bank standard glass if u want to do it like this^^

Kindly have a look at this video starting at minute 3:30 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiVgd5t9tJ4 . A great idea for balcony cover up. I just don't know where we can get similar moveable aluminium shutter.

Extent the balcony low wall and put a window there.
Might not look good, but practical for your purpose of 'play place for your daughter'
