Balcony Specification Made Easy
Since inception in 1992, we have been moving forward in the direction of creating the strongest and most aesthetic balconies, that have been evolving with time, both in terms of design and strength.To simplify your balcony specification process, we have launched a number of free specification tools.
1. CABS Basic – Photo Realistic Image Generator
Below is our simple photo realistic configurator capable of giving you accurate and photo like images of your balcony in various colour options, decking choices and privacy designs. You can download a JPEG and also as a PDF with your choices specified. A link to this balcony in BIM/CAD and with a full report is available below.
2. CABS Expert – Our Full 3D Specification Software
CABS guides the specifier through a number of choices, many of which are editable, with the progress to full specification visible in a 3D, CGI representation alongside. All elements of the CGI are 3D BIM compatible objects. In as little as 15 minutes, you can specify a bespoke balcony to use in Revet and many other popular software programs.
3. Balcony Standard Construction Details
In addition to the above standard image downloads, you can download the technical balcony construction details here which include DWG, BIM/CAD Compatible Drawings and more!
4. Specify Using NBS Source
Our Glide-On balcony designs are available for specification on NBS Source & Chorus. Specify Sapphire’s Glide-On Balconies using NBS Source.
5. Bespoke Balcony Construction Details
Our presaved balcony specifications come with significant advantages over the standard details. In this type of specification, features include balcony illustrations, decking and balustrade selections, and even the soffits selection.
