Sapphire's Cassette® balconies, combined the requirement for a range of projectingand inset balconies, which were positively drained, whilst still meeting the rapid installdeadlines and privacy requirements. With a mix of balcony components, includingopaque glass and end boxes, Sapphire was still able to maintain atheistic feel thatencompasses Green Man Lane. The Cassettes® where delivered as preassembledstructures, with the differing balustrade components for each side of the scheme andwith soffits and gutters for positive draining to down pipes. Sapphire was able toovercome the time restraints by using the companies fast-track install method,featuring its Glide-On™ connectors and counter balance lifter (CBL).

Solution

Needing to maintain the atheistic appeal from the initial phase but with an upgrade,the client needed a leading balcony provider that could supply a range of balconytypes, including projecting and inset balconies with different balustrades, that wouldstill blend seamlessly with previous phases whilst meeting privacy and drainagerequirements.

350 one piece M30 anchors were cast-in with the slab and incorporated the thermalbreak connections offering superior rigidity to the finished balconies.

Step 1

Preassembled Cassette® balconies are manufactured and stored at Sapphire’sThetford production and secure storage facility.

Step 2

With the balcony production being off-site, balconies were deliveredready for the install team to complete lift into place and secure.

Step 3

Once lifted into position, the Cassettes® simply ‘glide’ on to the pre-erectedbrackets, before completing the simple mechanical fixings.
