Sapphire has installed 20 Glide-On™ balconies for one of the new apartment buildings at North London’s Woodberry Down.
The company designed special first-fix bracketry to suit the apartment building’s timber frame construction. This was tested in-house to ensure structural integrity. Sapphire’s innovative offsite balcony system enabled all 20 balconies to be delivered and installed in a single day. The install team were able to unload and install 6 balconies in just under an hour, which significantly reduced site time and associated costs allowing for other trades to continue in a short amount of time.
Unique brackets were designed and extensively tested in house and on site for maximising the performance with the timber slab.
Offsite manufacturing enabled Sapphire to maintain and execute a high degree of quality control. The balconies were delivered to site via Sapphire’s own lorry trailers ready to be unloaded and installed.
All 20 Glide-On™ balconies were installed and Sapphire’s team were finished and left the site within one day. Some of which were installed in just 4 minutes.
