Balcony Systems

The Architectural Facades Skyeline Balcony range focuses its cutting-edge, precision engineering on removing problems once associated with balcony design, including drainage, water penetration and water stagnation.

By using aluminium, the bolt on balconies are a lightweight alternative to steel balcony systems, adding to project sustainability through this and the material’s cyclic life cycle.

The aluminium metal balconies are completed with spindle balustrades, while other facade materials and Juliet balconies are in development. Prefabricated in the UK, the balcony system is entirely formed from non-combustible materials as standard and are kept to high quality control standards through inspection management software, iAuditor.

Sustainable Balconies

Architectural Facades Skyeline balconies can help you to meet project sustainability requirements due to their high aluminium content and UK fabrication.

Aluminium enjoys a ‘cradle-to-cradle’ life cycle as the material can be repeatedly recycled without loss of physical properties. Additionally, only 5% of the energy used to produce it in the first instance, is required when being recycled.

DNV-GL Certified by our raw material supplier according to the ISO 14064, the aluminium used is also produced through renewable energy sources. Aluminium is not only fully recyclable but also results in a lightweight balcony alternative to steel systems. This can reduce foundation requirements and slab thickness, resulting in less manufactured material used on site.

Finally, as our bolt on balconies are fabricated in the UK, the carbon footprint from transportation to site is significantly reduced.

Quality control begins with meticulous design, high quality materials and reliable manufacturing partners.

The inspection management software, iAuditor, is used throughout balcony production, from initial aluminium extrusion through to final fabrication. Each balcony produced is given a full digital traceability report or ‘product passport’ to ensure accountability. Combined with the web platform, iAuditor champions our customers and installers in the field by providing detailed visibility and insights.

At all stages, in all scenarios, a structural engineer will oversee every project to approve all Architectural Facades Skyeline balcony calculations, from a structural perspective before installation.

Balconies are an essential consideration for every new development across the UK as demand for outdoor amenity space in built-up locations increases.

Following the Mayor of London’s 2020 update of the Housing Design Quality Standards, many local councils have also incorporated private, outdoor space requirements into their planning conditions. The physical and mental health benefits to outdoor spaces are so significant that research suggests balconies can increase the value of a property by anything from 5 to 15%.

Architectural Facades Skyeline balconies themselves offer sustainability benefits for balcony specifiers while our unique integrated water drainage solution prevents typical issues that can arise post installation. Our patent-pending water drainage solution combines with SkyeDeck to funnel excess water or residue though a perimeter gutter, eradicating stagnant water, which could result in costly maintenance regimes and eventual toxic odour issues.

Working with designer, Architectural Facades, all of our businesses are able to facilitate the design of every project, offering structural engineering calculations which are covered by their £5m Professional Indemnity.

The Architectural Facades Skyeline Balcony Range is made entirely from non-combustible materials, as standard.

This provides assurance that their use within 1m of a relevant boundary, or on buildings with balconies that are above 18m, meets all current UK guidance and legislation. Additionally, independent testing has been carried out by a UKAS accredited third party. Please contact us for further information.
