Application

Suitable for new build residential applications.

Description

An adaptable, modular balcony system with a range of balustrade, floor finishes and drainage options.


Levitate is manufactured off-site in accordance with our Quality (ISO 9001) and Environmental (ISO 14001) Management Systems.

 

The foundation of Levitate is the steel frame cassette with the anchoring locations to house our balustrade system, enclosed aluminium soffit and finished floor. Concrete floor tiles come as standard but aluminium decking is also available.


Levitate comes with controlled drainage, including a drip edge which prevents water from cascading onto the balcony below. Piped drainage can also be incorporated into the balcony.


The first part of the installation process can be carried out safely from the scaffold, where stub connectors are installed to the cast-in anchors, which once extended, can allow completion of the external façade works. Once completed, the installation of the Levitate arms can be undertaken as the scaffold is being struck. Levitate then then slides easily onto the Levitate arms and automatically locks into place.


The methodology ensures improved efficiencies on-site and a reduction in crane time due to the ease of installation.


Features and benefits:

  • When using concrete tiles, the balcony system is available as standard in twenty-one different sizes.
  • Choose between seven different widths and three depths. Bespoke sizes are available by using the optional aluminium decking.
