Green Man Lane

Challenges at Green Man Lane

Needing to maintain the aesthetic appeal of Green Man Lane from the initial phase but with an upgrade, the client, Rydon Construction, needed a leading balcony provider that could supply a range of balcony types, including projecting and inset balconies with different balustrades, that would still blend seamlessly with previous phases whilst meeting privacy and drainage requirements.

Solution

Our Cassette® balconies combined the requirement for a range of projecting and inset balconies, which were positively drained, whilst still meeting the rapid install deadlines and privacy requirements. With a mix of balcony components, including opaque glass and end boxes, Sapphire was still able to maintain the aesthetic feel that encompasses Green Man Lane.

Installation process

Step 1: 350 one piece M30 anchors were cast-in with the slab and incorporated the thermal break connections offering superior rigidity to the finished balconies.

Step 2: Preassembled Cassette® balconies are manufactured and stored at our Thetford production and secure storage facility.

Step 3: With the balcony production being off-site, balconies were delivered ready for the install team to complete lift into place and secure.

Step 4: Once lifted into position, the Cassettes® simply ‘glide’ on to the pre-erected brackets, before completing the simple mechanical fixings.
