The main components of the balcony are extruded/powder-coated aluminium profiles, vertical rails or glass panels and fixing elements, prefabricated to form a single balcony systems, with either an aluminium front rail or a glass front balustrade panel. The balcony systems are prefabricated in the factory, and then attached to the building on-site, with additional steel brackets and other steel fixing components. They have an integrated floor and soffit, with non-slip aluminium decking profiles and modular soffit boards creating a unified, maintenance-free finish. The raw materials comprise, by weight: glass 68%; extruded aluminium 30%; plastic 2 %; metal screws/bolts <1%.
They are suitable for residential apartments, commercial buildings, and mixed-use developments. The cantilevered balcony has minimal impact on existing building structures. They are lightweight and made entirely of fully recyclable materials.
