Edge drain balconies manage water via internal trays to front edge. Avoids staining, complies with BS 8579, and suits modern balcony design.
An edge drain balcony provides controlled drainage by directing water to the front or side edge, typically into a shadow gap behind the balcony. This method aligns with BS 8579:2020 guidance and uses soffit trays spaced at approximately 400mm centres to collect and discharge water. Edge drainage is suitable for projections up to 2.5m and helps avoid staining and erosion near façades and entrances. Landscaping and slot drains should be considered to manage runoff effectively.
