Balconies: Learn from the past, an approach to the future
With the absence of a balcony specific standard, yet a host of different organizations stipulating a range of requirements, balcony design has often been a minefield. We have extensively explored the thousands of pages of regulations, and add our findings from expansive testing to bring to you a clear understandable presentation in which we explore the requirements that need to be met as well as innovative solutions.
Our CPD presentation includes videos of real life processes, 2D and 3D technical diagrams, tables and extensive professional photos in order to allow attendees to easily digest the wealth of balcony design expertise and understand how they can be applied on their relevant projects.
We aim to explore, educate and inspire balcony design so that we can make a difference to all attendees.
Fire CPD's
Balcony Fires: Learn from the past, an approach to the future
Fire presentation that purely looks at current case studies of a few recent fires that have happened this year, explores common causes and how these can be designed out. It also gives clarity on the current fire regulations and Sapphire’s active product development. These solutions are above what is currently required but will give advice on what regulations we feel balconies will likely need to meet in the future.
You may also be interested that we have also recently published a Whitepaper: “Recommendations regarding fire safety on balconies in high rise residential blocks”.
