It is built for developers, general contractors, and modular builders standardizing a balcony package across repeating unit types.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConstruction is a welded aluminum perimeter frame and joist assembly, corners mitered at 45 degrees and welded at 0.25 in and 0.375 in thickness. The 42 in guard runs evenly spaced horizontal aluminum bars between welded posts, giving the elevation strong horizontal lines without the visual weight of a solid panel. Decking is the 140 x 25 mm composite WPC program on keel and clip fasteners, installed at the factory and set level with the interior subfloor at installation. The unit bolts to knife plate embeds in the building structure and sets by crane or lift, in five standard footprints from 4 ft x 8 ft to 5 ft x 10 ft with the four-color powder coat program.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorizontal aluminum bar guard at 42 in height for a clean, linear elevation read\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\u003ePowder coat program: Matte Black standard;
