There are several types of balcony structures, including:
Cantilevered Balconies: This type of balcony is supported by brackets or beams that are attached to the building's exterior walls. The balcony projects out from the building and does not have support posts beneath it.
Juliet Balconies: A Juliet balcony is a small balcony that typically does not have a railing and is designed for decorative purposes only. It is often used to provide a view from a window and does not provide a space for standing.
Suspended Balconies: This type of balcony is suspended from the building's structure and is supported by cables or rods. The balcony is typically made of metal or glass and is suspended above the ground, providing a unique and modern look.
Roof Balconies: This type of balcony is located on the roof of a building and provides a space for outdoor living and entertaining. It is typically supported by structural beams or columns and can be accessed from a staircase or elevator.
Freestanding Balconies: This type of balcony is not attached to the building and is supported by its own structure. It is often used as an outdoor space for entertaining and may have a railing or balustrade for safety.
The type of balcony structure you choose will depend on the type of building, the intended use of the balcony, and your design preferences. It is important to consider the weight-bearing capacity of the balcony structure and the building's foundation, as well as the local building codes and safety requirements, to ensure the safety and stability of the balcony.
It is imperative to hire the best hands to ensure safety and of course, compliance.
