Fast Balcony Custom Footprint Aluminum Balcony, Engineered to Project Spec
Reviewed pricing, lead time, freight, and final configuration are confirmed during quote review before order release.
The Fast Balcony Custom Footprint Aluminum Balcony is the engineered-to-order path when the standard grid does not fit the elevation: enter the width along the building and the projection, pick the railing and finish, and the balcony is engineered to the project spec. It serves architects and general contractors matching existing openings, corner conditions, and unit plans the standard sizes cannot cover.
Custom footprints carry the same construction as the standard line: a welded aluminum perimeter frame and joist assembly with 45 degree mitered corners welded at 0.25 in and 0.375 in thickness, a 42 in guard in vertical picket, stainless cable, perforated mesh, or clear glass, and a composite WPC deck with the watertight interlocking aluminum deck available for dry-space applications. The standard custom program spans widths of 6 to 12 ft along the building and projections of 3 to 7 ft, with wider continuous runs engineered as multi-unit assemblies. Mounting is knife plate embeds or fascia brackets, selected to the wall construction, and every custom order ships with project drawings for approval before production.

- Powder coated surfaces should be washed with mild detergent and water; AAMA 2604-class powder coat performance is available and confirmed during quote review.
Frequently Asked Questions
What dimensions can be ordered?
The standard custom program spans 6 to 12 ft widths along the building and 3 to 7 ft projections. Dimensions outside that envelope are reviewed as multi-unit or special engineering during quote review, so nothing is off the table, it is just engineered differently.
How do I enter my dimensions?
Enter the width along the building and the projection from the wall with the quote request on this page. The quote returns approval drawings with the engineered frame, mounting, and hardware for those dimensions.
Does a custom footprint change the lead time?
Custom orders add an engineering and drawing-approval step before production. The full schedule, from drawings through delivery, is confirmed during quote review.
Which mounting will my project use?
Knife plate embeds suit new structures planned around them; fascia brackets suit retrofits and framing without embeds. The mounting is selected to the wall construction during quote review, and both carry the same engineering basis.
