3 Green Man Lane Client: Rydon Construction/ London Borough of Ealing Contractor: Rydon Construction Architect: Frederick Gibberd Location: West London Balconies: 117 Cassettes Value: 1.0m? Challenge Needing to maintain the atheistic appeal from the initial phase but with an upgrade, the client needed a leading balcony provider that could supply a range of balcony types, including projecting and inset balconies with different balustrades, that would still blend seamlessly with previous phases whilst meeting privacy and drainage requirements. Solution Sapphire's Cassette balconies, combined the requirement for a range of projecting and inset balconies, which were positively drained, whilst still meeting the rapid install deadlines and privacy requirements. With a mix of balcony components, including opaque glass and end boxes, Sapphire was still able to maintain atheistic feel that encompasses Green Man Lane. The Cassettes where delivered as preassembled structures, with the differing balustrade components for each side of the scheme and with soffits and gutters for positive draining to down pipes. Sapphire was able to overcome the time restraints by using the companies fast-track install method, featuring its Glide-On connectors and counter balance lifter (CBL).

4 Step one piece M30 anchors were cast-in with the slab and incorporated the thermal break connections offering superior rigidity to the finished balconies. Step 2 Preassembled Cassette balconies are manufactured and stored at Sapphire s Thetford production and secure storage facility. Step 3 With the balcony production being off-site, balconies were delivered ready for the install team to complete lift into place and secure. Step 4 Once lifted into position, the Cassettes simply glide on to the pre-erected brackets, before completing the simple mechanical fixings.
