Metadeck is of major interest for large-scale balcony construction projects on multi-family housing, whether for new build or renovation.
Metadeck makes it possible to integrate watertight joisting into the balcony structure as soon as it is manufactured, whether it is a timber-frame or metal structure.
It is therefore possible, easy and even highly recommended to design the balcony construction project in "prefabrication" mode.
It is then possible to build almost the entire balcony in the factory, integrating : - the structure, with its bracing,
- Metadeck waterproof joisting to support the deck boards (or other cladding), - Wood or composite decking,
- gutters and gutters,
- railing supports.
The balcony thus arrives on site as a three-dimensional component, ready to be installed, without the need for scaffolding.
There is no need to reiterate all the advantages of prefabrication, especially in the case of balconies:
- No scaffolding on the façade (just a crane and a cherry picker),
- significantly reduced site times,
- better quality of work: the time-consuming and sinister work of installing the decking and managing the waterproofing is carried out in a sheltered workshop,
- fewer human risks, fewer risks of people, equipment or tools falling,
- possible outsourcing, cost control and deadlines. All in all, better quality with better cost control.
