Unlike traditional bolt-ons, there is no requirement for operatives to work under a live crane load from a platform below. With Darke Steel’s slide on system, balcony units are pulled into position from the safety of the building, where, once fixed, they can be safely accessed, adjusted, finished and commissioned.
Conventional bolt on balcony installation requires the striking of scaffold and as such complex coordination with other trades. With the slide on system, this complexity is reduced as stub brackets and cantilevered arms can be installed from the scaffold, working in and around other trades on the façade. Once all arms are installed the scaffold can be struck entirely.
With the slide on system, balcony units are installed to produce a safe, fixed working platform in as little as 10 mins per unit. This often means entire elevations can be covered with crane use limited to just one working day.
95% of the balcony manufacture is completed off-site, improving product quality, with fully assembled soffits meaning return visits are generally limited to completion of the decking and threshold closing pieces.
Darke Steel’s novel steel balustrade design is fully structurally welded but, unlike similar products in the market, has no unsightly visible external welds giving a clean, precise finish, maintaining the well-defined straight edges of the material.
