Toughened glass provides a versatile and adaptable option, providing an unobstructed view out while maximising solar penetration to give interiors plenty of warmth and natural light.

Applied to our toughened safety glass, we can add a distinctive design feature with bespoke graphics to add to your bespoke aesthetics.

Our tinted glass panels can moderate the solar penetration without compromising the clarity of the view out.

Our Clearline Structural System can come with or without a capping rail; this includes a round, square or oval Stainless Steel toprail or square Aluminium toprail.

The system can come with a toprail to encapsulate the glass and to give the system a smooth, yet modern finish that is warm-to-the-touch.

Offset handrails can be fixed to the glass panels. This option allows the glass to be extended higher for a clearer view and an attractively minimalist aesthetic.

Our tubular handrail can be manufactured in stainless steel or aluminium depending on your requirement.

The ovular handrail provides an option with a profile which is wider than the tubular rail. For Structural Glass, this handrail can be manufactured in stainless or aluminium.

The integrated rubber seal is pictured here, within the floor channel. It insulates the structural glass.

Neaco's button fixed detail is similar to the side fixing details but with a slimmer element.

Modular decking is over 12x faster to install compared to plank decking. It requires significantly fewer fixings and the cutting, coating and edging are carried out off-site. Our range of Modular Aluminium Decking systems are ideal for balcony flooring, fully compliant with all relevant building regulations, they offer a wide range of advantages in comparison to other decking materials, click here to decide which decking you would like on your custom modular balcony.

Our aluminium planking system is designed to replicate the aesthetics of traditional timber and composite decking but complying with the latest government’s Building Regulations. Spanning to superior capabilities and having a high slip resistance, these planks are ideal for refurbishments that need to remove the timber without losing the traditional aesthetics.

Having a Clearer View

Our Clearview structural glass balconies provide the ultimate visibility, sunlight penetration and minimalist looks. In accordance with BS EN12600 class 1, our toughened glass panel infills can be clear or tinted to create the ultimate penetration. We could also create a stand-out specification for curved glass balconies, to provide you with a beautiful high-end aesthetic. For a distinctive extra touch, we can also apply graphics on glass panels to generate a tailored etched Design. Whatever you desire, we are here to help.

 

 

Our Clearview Structural Glass system utilises an Aluminium bottom track which can house glass thicknesses of 15-21.5mm thick Toughened/Toughened Laminated Glass depending on your design requirements and imposed loads. We do offer an alternative for high-rise buildings over 18m to comply with the latest Building Safety Act 2022, which is our Clearview A2 Balcony System.

Balustrade Colour Range

Our aluminium balustrade and decking can be manufactured in mill finish or powder-coated in a wide range of RAL colours. They can be offered in both nylon and polyester, nylon being a preferred application on superior chemical resistance, providing the highest level of abrasion resistance. Whereas polyester is favoured for weather and UV resistance, providing more excellent colour stability than nylon, which will fade faster with prolonged exposure to sunlight. Bespoke RAL colours can be achieved here at Neaco as we have our own in-house powder coating plant. The powder coating gives all our products a particular finish which is non-chip, permanent, hardwearing and abrasion-resistant.

Why Structural Glass?

The structural glass is fixed in place by aluminium floor channels with integrated rubber seals which insulate the structural glass and eliminate the need for the more traditional messy mastic detail.

 

 

In accordance with BSEN 12600 as the new European-wide performance standard for impact safety for glass states, our glass balconies maximise the penetration of natural light and provide an unobstructed view.

FAQ’s

What is a modular system?
Modular systems provide a huge range of modular components which are precision- manufactured off-site to an exacting standard, deliv­ered to the site and then assembled on-site. This means factory-controlled quality, faster installation, less mess, less waste and less energy con­sumption than products which are fabricated on-site. Spectrum's modular components are assembled with an internal connection system which requires no external fixtures and no welding for an ultra-smooth finish.
Why do Neaco manufacture in aluminium?
Aluminium is a great building material for many reasons: it provides maintenance-free durability and is also non-toxic, corrosive-free, non-combustible and 100% recyclable - a particularly useful feature for our Genesis industrial system designed for eco-friendly performance in the harshest environments. The permanent finish of Neaco’s nylon powder coating - a standard specification on most Spectrum systems - provides smooth, clean lines for comfortable touch and high aesthetic value. It is also worth noting that our stainless-steel systems provide many similar benefits.
Are the balconies supply only or can Neaco supply and install them?
Neaco can provide either package you desire. Our balconies are designed for fast installation, particularly our Juliet balconies which are available in packs of standard sizes and delivered within 3 weeks of ordering with all components ready to assemble. If you would instead have neaco take care of the installation, we can arrange for our team of fitters to carry out the work.
Are these balconies free draining or directionally drained?
Our modular balconies utilise Neatdek range of decking, depending on this decking choice they can be free drained or directionally drained.
What type of glass is used when specified on a balcony?
Our Clearview structural glass balcony system can accommodate 12-21.5mm thick toughened or toughened laminated glass. We can also offer options of colour tinting and etching to meet your design aesthetics. As an optional extra, we can heat soak each glass panel which accelerates crystallisation, reducing the risk of potential breakages when the glass is in situ.
Is the structural glass suitable in high-traffic areas?
Clearline structural glass is very strong and suitable for high-traffic areas - the glass is toughened in accordance with BS EN12600 class 1. It is ideal for buildings likely to be used by children, where safety on staircases and landings is paramount - the system is very difficult for children to climb and there are no gaps through which they could pass.
Do neaco offer bespoke solutions?
Yes, absolutely. Over the years we have worked with numerous architects and designers to incorporate bespoke features outside of our standard specifications, including light fittings to the top of stanchions, etched designs to glass infills and structural glass installed at unusual angles. We pride ourselves on the flexibility and adaptability of our technical support services, so please feel free to discuss your particular requirements with one of our team.
