Drainage may not be the first thing you think about with a glazed balcony, but the right choice here will keep the cladding looking fresh for longer. With the right drainage, you avoid ugly drip marks from rain and dirty water. We have therefore developed our own patented system to lead water away along concealed channels. This may mean a higher initial cost, but it pays for itself in the long run.
This is a standard solution. Water is led from the track profile out over the parapet section to fall away from the front of the balcony. Although the Balco BaseLine drainage is not unique, the fixing system is our own patent. The telescopic solution allows us to accommodate the building’s own deviations. The built-in ventilation – Balco VentTech® – reduces the risk of condensation on the glass and safeguards the building’s existing ventilation system.
Excellent teamed with Balco Vision™
Patented drainage system that effectively reduces the risk of dirty streaks caused by water running down the parapet cladding. Minimised risk of water being driven inside the balcony during high winds and simultaneous underpressure on the balcony. The water is collected in the lower window track and directed along horizontal channels out to the corner posts. Along the posts’ internal channels, the water is then led, floor by floor, down to the underside of the lowest balcony. Extra safety drainage is integrated into the bottom profile of the balcony section to ensure safe drainage of the floor module if someone forgets to close the windows during rain.
