Chelsea Homes , a stunning St George, Berkley Homes project in Central London offers European-style urban lifestyle with tree-lined avenues and meandering waterways.

Balcony manufacturer Sapphire Balconies has unveiled their most sustainable balcony product yet, quickly gaining a reputation as a ‘kinder’ next generation of Balconies.

Today, Sapphire is proud to reveal its next step in elegant yet buildable balcony design – the Crescent™ Corner Cassette. Developed by Sapphire’s dedicated R&D team, this exciting new curved balcony design creates a ‘softer’, elegant aesthetic to any building.

Sapphire’s offsite-manufactured Glide-On™ Cassette® balconies, together with the company’s logistical expertise, have solved several intriguing challenges posed by Block C1 at London Dock in Wapping, a stunning development of high-quality homes situated on the historic Thames waterfront.

Robust and regulated fire safety is essential in the built environment. In December 2022, the industry’s Approved Document B was updated to support specific requirements and regulations to the Building Regulations 2010.

As industry leaders in prefabricated balconies backed by the brand promise to be rigid, ready and right, Sapphire has overcome challenges posed by a new residential project in one of London’s most notable suburbs.

AGC Glass UK and OnLevel UK are pleased to announce that Stratobel Strong laminated safety glass is now certified in OnLevel’s frameless balustrade systems TL6020, TL3020 and Skyforce Juliet balcony for loads up to 0.74kN.

Why do people like glass balustrades? Because they’re stylish, easy to maintain, bring a sense of airiness and space, and, most of all, let in natural light and make the most of scenic views.

As temperatures rise and the amount of daylight increases each day, designers and homeowners alike start to turn their attention to the great outdoors. The first waft of freshly cut grass in the air often signals the start of outdoor preparations and our desire to get our gardens looking great for outdoor living.
