Our most popular balcony specification is glass panels with handrails and balustrade in aluminium, powder-coated in a choice of colours for a warm and comfortable touch. The powder coating provides corrosion-free durability.

An alternative balcony specification is handrails and balustrade satin polished stainless steel. This would then make your balcony A1 Fire Rated, being the highest end of building standards and aesthetics.

As one of our most popular infill specifications, toughened glass provides a versatile and adaptable option. In accordance with BS EN12600, class 1 toughened glass panel infills can be clear, tinted, etched and/or curved.

Providing a classic styling, our railed infills are manufactured in 22mm vertical aluminium alloy flat bars. These can be powder coated in a range of colours and finishes but our most popular finish is Jet Black.

Although we do our standard ranges, we also do bespoke requirements to meet any project needs. These could include rail infills and tapered stanchions for commercial use, or bespoke infills such as trespa infills to create greater privacy.

Centric is our original stanchion, offering smooth, classic styling with an optional stem bracket. Centric is a highly flexible option with the ability to adapt to most angles or bends.

If you want sharp, clean looks, our Quad stanchion has a square profile which makes it the excellent choice. The contemporary style has made it a popular specification for high-end projects.

Widely specified at projects throughout the UK, our original modular balcony design features stanchions offset from the glass panels. We can do both offset inside and outside the glass, creating a distinctive variation on our original modular balcony design.

The tubular top rail is our most popular specification across all types of design schemes because it is economical and meets latest building requirements.

The ovular top rail provides an alternative option with a profile which is wider than the tubular rail. It provides excellent strength and comfort.

Neaco’s base fixing detail utilises our custom extruded profile base plate, providing a solid platform for the stanchion to locate onto. This stanchion fixing method is ideal when fixing into solid structures such as structural steelwork.

The side fixed detail allows the stanchions to be fixed on the side of any structure, typically with a 40mm offset. The side fixed detail can be achieved on structural steelwork, concrete and masonry, similar to our Base fixing.

Modular decking is over 12x faster to install compared to plank decking. It requires significantly fewer fixings and the cutting, coating and edging are carried out off-site. Our range of Modular Aluminium Decking systems are ideal for balcony flooring, fully compliant with all relevant building regulations, they offer a wide range of advantages in comparison to other decking materials, click here to decide which decking you would like on your custom modular balcony.

Our aluminium planking system is designed to replicate the aesthetics of traditional timber and composite decking but complying with the latest government’s Building Regulations. Spanning to superior capabilities and having a high slip resistance, these planks are ideal for refurbishments that need to remove the timber without losing the traditional aesthetics.

Non-Combustible and Fire-Safe

All Spectrum Modular Balconies are designed with safety as a top priority. They are fully compliant with BS EN 13501-1 standards for fire safety, making them A2 fire-rated and non-combustible. This ensures that the balconies are safe for installation on high-rise buildings over 18 metres, where fire safety regulations require the use of non-combustible materials such as Euroclass A1 or A2 materials.

 Bespoke Designs

Available in a choice of stylish designs, the balconies in our Spectrum range offer a contemporary style to upper floors and genuine kerb appeal for any residential development. Due to the balconies being assembled from modular component parts, they are available in various fire-rated decking and balustrade options. This makes them the ideal all-in-one solution that can adhere to any design requirements.

 

 

Neaco’s balcony packages offer ready-made compliance with all relevant regulations, including the requirement to use Euroclass A1 or A2 fire-rated materials on balconies and terraces installed on buildings over 18m in height.

FAQ’s

What is a modular system?
Modular systems provide a huge range of modular components which are precision- manufactured off-site to an exacting standard, deliv­ered to the site and then assembled on-site. This means factory-controlled quality, faster installation, less mess, less waste and less energy con­sumption than products which are fabricated on-site. Spectrum's modular components are assembled with an internal connection system which requires no external fixtures and no welding for an ultra-smooth finish.
Why do Neaco manufacture in aluminium?
Aluminium is a great building material for many reasons: it provides maintenance-free durability and is also non-toxic, corrosive-free, non-combustible and 100% recyclable - a particularly useful feature for our Genesis industrial system designed for eco-friendly performance in the harshest environments. The permanent finish of Neaco’s nylon powder coating - a standard specification on most Spectrum systems - provides smooth, clean lines for comfortable touch and high aesthetic value. It is also worth noting that our stainless-steel systems provide many similar benefits.
Are the balconies supply only or can Neaco supply and install them?
Neaco can provide either package you desire. Our balconies are designed for fast installation, particularly our Juliet balconies which are available in packs of standard sizes and delivered within 3 weeks of ordering with all components ready to assemble. If you would instead have neaco take care of the installation, we can arrange for our team of fitters to carry out the work.
Can these balconies be manufactured to bespoke requirements?
Yes, absolutely. Over the years we have worked with numerous architects and designers to incorporate bespoke features outside of our standard specifications, including light fittings to the top of stanchions, etched designs to glass infills and structural glass installed at unusual angles. We pride ourselves on the flexibility and adaptability of our technical support services, so please feel free to discuss your requirements with one of our team members.
Are these balconies free draining or directionally drained?
Our modular balconies utilise Neatdek range of decking, depending on this decking choice they can be free drained or directionally drained.
What type of glass is used when specified on a balcony?
Neaco always uses glass which is toughened in accordance with BS EN12600. We recommend a glass panel thickness of at least 10mm.
