Top-fixed timber balcony connector supports CLT buildings with minimal penetration. Lightweight solution for mass timber architecture.
For mass timber structures such as cross-laminated timber (CLT), top-fixed balcony brackets can be used where the slab is thick enough to resist pull-out forces. These brackets typically feature an L-shaped plate fixed at the front and diagonally into the slab. Sapphire has tested and refined this method in the UK and Canada. Using lightweight aluminium balconies reduces dead loads and helps maintain long-term durability by avoiding rot.
