Challenges overcome as balconies reach new heights in Tottenham
A
residential London.
t 33 storeys, Anthology Hale Works is the tallest and final element of the Hale Village master plan – a major redevelopment in North East
The £82 million, 107-metre tower consists of 279 apartments for shared ownership and private sale, as well as ground floor commercial units. With the site’s proximity to the Tube lines limiting some aspects of tower crane activity,
many creative
solutions were needed on site. These included use of mobile jib, lifting from inside the building. Creativity also extended to offsite- built heat interface units,
electrical and plumbing systems – and 164 Sapphire balconies.
The project provided several challenges for Sapphire and our accredited installers. As each balcony is flush with the unitised facade and thermal breaks are usually outside such a facade, the thermal break is in the arm instead of the cast-in
mechanical,
anchor. Also, a complex bracket was required to take up significant tolerances. Some balconies also required additional engineering
to meet Sapphire’s rigidity
standards. We guarantee that every balcony fixed with Sapphire anchors will achieve 50% less deflection than the British Standards requirement of L/180. This ensures the outstanding rigidty of Sapphire balconies – a comfort for residents as there are no bouncy balconies.
The multi-angled shape of the building meant we had to provide balconies of varied size and layout – for attachment on one or two sides or fully inset. Sapphire ensured all balconies were built to suit the architect’s vision and designs. The project saw the first use of the remote locker – an innovative method of securing that enhances safety and overcomes the challenges of fixing Sapphire balconies to their support arms, especially in a unitised facade situation.

Advertorial.indd 1 Garador’s Ascot and Windsor are perfect for modern design architecture
With precision engineering and minimalist design, Garador’s exciting Ascot and Windsor garage doors offer the perfect addition for any modern home. Garador’s wide profi le garage doors are the ideal accompaniment to minimalist design architecture. As minimalist design trends are adopted for homes and garages the Ascot and Windsor, with their clean lines and smooth plain surfaces, are an excellent choice. But it’s not just the one-off unique building styles that this door attracts, but rather it lends itself to the uniformity and repetition of new build housing developments too. Architects and builders involved in housing developments and estates will recognize the great looks these doors can achieve. The Ascot, with its horizontal wide panels, and the Windsor, with vertical panels, are both constructed from high-grade galvanized steel for durability. The fl at surfaces of the door are fi xed together with spot welding, eliminating the need for rivets and offering an ultra-smooth appearance. Both the Ascot and Windsor are available in a choice of 19 colours, including neutral options to please even the purists of architectural colour design. Find out more about these great new looks by visiting the website.
