{"product_id":"fast-balcony-waterproof-aluminum-deck-balcony-system","title":"Fast Balcony Waterproof Aluminum Deck Balcony System","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Fast Balcony Waterproof Aluminum Deck Balcony System replaces the composite walking surface with interlocking watertight extruded aluminum boards, so the space below the balcony stays dry. It is the platform to specify when balconies stack over patios, entries, storage, or other balconies, and it serves the same multifamily and modular buyers as the rest of the bolt-on line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chassis is a welded aluminum perimeter frame and joist assembly with 45 degree mitered corners welded at 0.25 in and 0.375 in thickness. The deck is the working difference: extruded aluminum boards interlock into a watertight surface with integral drainage channels, shedding water to the drainage edge instead of through the deck, which keeps the area below dry and turns stacked balconies into covered outdoor space. An all-aluminum deck also runs lighter than the composite program, published per variant. Wall-side knife plates bolt to embeds in the building structure and the unit sets by crane or lift. Guards are vertical picket or tensioned stainless cable at 42 in, in five standard footprints and the four-color powder coat program.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterlocking watertight extruded aluminum deck keeps the space below dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegral drainage channels shed water to the drainage edge, not through the deck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-combustible aluminum walking surface, powder coated with the frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLighter than the composite deck platforms at every size, about 322 to 510 lb by variant\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\u003eVertical picket or stainless cable guard at 42 in height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnife plate connection to building structure embeds, bolt-on with no field welding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowder coat program: Matte Black standard;
