It gives developers and general contractors a factory-finished, bolt-on balcony package that keeps sight lines open without site welding or field-built guards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe platform is a welded aluminum perimeter frame and joist assembly with 45 degree mitered and welded corners at 0.25 in and 0.375 in weld thickness. The 42 in guard runs horizontal stainless steel cables tensioned between welded aluminum posts, so the infill stays low-profile against city and courtyard views while the powder coated frame carries the color story. The 140 x 25 mm composite WPC deck installs at the factory on keels with concealed clips, and wall-side knife plates bolt to embeds in the building structure. Units set by crane or lift in five standard footprints from 4 ft x 8 ft to 5 ft x 10 ft, with cable tension checked as part of the released installation sequence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTensioned horizontal stainless cable infill keeps view lines open at a 42 in guard height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive standard sizes: 4 ft x 8 ft, 5 ft x 8 ft, 4 ft x 9 ft 6 in, 5 ft x 9 ft 6 in, 5 ft x 10 ft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWelded aluminum frame, 45 degree mitered corners, 0.25 in and 0.375 in weld thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnife plate connection to building structure embeds, bolt-on with no field welding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComposite WPC deck, 140 x 25 mm boards on keel and clip fasteners, factory installed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural stainless cable against a powder coated frame in Matte Black, White, Bronze, or Slate Gray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLighter than the picket configuration at every footprint, about 379 to 560 lb by size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShips as one set-ready unit and places by crane or lift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification Table\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFootprint options\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 ft x 8 ft, 5 ft x 8 ft, 4 ft x 9 ft 6 in, 5 ft x 9 ft 6 in, 5 ft x 10 ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeck area\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 ft x 8 ft = 32 sq ft;
