It's a fucking pain . Problems can arise with :
- How do you affix the railing to the existing structure? Will it be stable and secure ? Will it move over time? Do you need to place extra structural support for the railing ?
- If installing over an existing external roof or terrrace- how can the installer / builder guarantee the thing will be waterproof where it's fixed into the existing roof structure.
An architect may or may not care about the above . An installer will likely take the job/ deposit before flagging any of this

I've gone for commercial grade vinyl sheet for my house. It's not expensive, very hard-wearing. I'm having a plain flat colour, but it comes in various prints and effects. Forbo and polyflor have a good range .

Wow, so not cheap for the size. Not sure I know of of anything else that quite matches what you want unfortunately

Aluk and the like will be cheaper , but still decent

I paid about 4k In Manchester 9 years back, on a back to brick bathroom job, including changing the layout.
Bathroom costs on the refurb I'm currently doing come in at 9.5k . It's a pretty extensive scope of works. Lots of plumbing work (the room was previously a bedroom) , couple of custom elements, wet floor, and decent level of finish . So it's absolutely possible to come in well under 9k

Both is sensible. Straps for now to keep the deadlift progressing . Definitely train grip too. Hangs, farmers carries, barbell holds with fat grips worked for me. Doing grip work made a big difference to my deadlift max.
Mixed grip is also an option, though it could result in imbalances.
Since training grip I've got past 200kg for heavy singles with no straps
Oh I get that they should ! Unfortunately mine didn't
