Balcony edges and maintenance issues

Balcony edges, whether made of concrete, metal, wood or another material, when left exposed, present a maintenance problem. Water that runs down the face of the balcony usually causes discolouration or mark on this face. Access is a problem to clean, repaint or maintain and this edge becomes an additional area that needs to be addressed when designing, renovating or replacing balconies.

Aluminium Facias

There are several options to choose from when finishing balcony edges. But to give a nice finish to balconies, the best solution is to use an aluminium fascia.

The aluminium fascia achieves several things:

• Clean cover and finish to the edge.
• Long-term protection of the balcony edge from weathering.
• Can be used to hide connections or unsightly bolts and metalwork, particularly on steel cantilevered balconies.
• Can be used to add a new colour dimension to a slim line and add an architectural feature to the building.

Extruded fascia vs folded or formed

Depending on the extent of the project, different solutions can be used. If the project is extensive enough, then a specific profile extrusion can be developed to suit the exact design of the project. The advantage of doing this lies in the ability and flexibility of creating aluminium extrusions. Almost any shape can be achieved, features added, and connections created. As an example, you can read about fascia sections we developed for a project in London with around 400 balconies, called Baltimore Wharf. In this solution, we created two unique fascia sections, one 295mm and one 215mm in size. These suited two different metal balcony sizes.

Not all projects can have a section created for them, and these can still have a fascia developed by folding sheet aluminium. This method is just as good and suits smaller project sizes.

Designs are almost limitless

We like to get involved with projects and their designs at the outset. Our capabilities in developing specific sections, including aluminium fascia profiles and designs that offer solutions, are almost limitless. If you think your project could benefit from some design help or solutions, please contact us to discuss.
