BalconyLife offer two building connection systems for cantilever balconies which are their Timber Tee system for timber floors and the Concrete Strap for pre-cast concrete floor units or in-situ concrete floors. The building connections are installed at the same time as, or shortly after, the new floor. The balcony is then bolted to the installed building connections as the building works near completion.
