Most roof terrace installations are assembled from separate parts supplied by separate companies. The waterproofing contractor finishes their work. The balustrade supplier arrives. The deck installer follows. Nobody has modelled the complete load path in a single calculation. Nobody owns the interface between the trades.
That interface is almost always where failures happen.
BalcoDeck® is designed, engineered and manufactured as a single coherent system in Balconette’s Surrey factory. The wind load calculation for your specific site determines the platform geometry. The platform geometry determines the structural design. The glass specification is calculated against the actual base stiffness, not an assumed value. Every component is calculated against every other.
The result is a single Certificate of Compliance at handover, covering structural loads, wind loads, fire rating, building regulations compliance and material specifications – from one company, for one complete system.
