BA Systems supplied and installed external balustrades for balconies at Abbey Wharf, an affordable homes development that is helping transform Alperton in north-west London.
The development has transformed a disused industrial site into 136 new homes, of which 111 will be offered as shared ownership and the remainder available as affordable rent.
Project detail
Following early-stage pre-contract design discussions, BA Systems was contracted by Inland Homes to supply and install the balustrade package to the external balconies. The company's design team engaged heavily with Inland to finally propose its B50 fascia-mounted 50 x 12mm vertical flat bars to 136 external balconies, a total of 1155 linear metres of balustrading. The vertical bar balustrade is modular and lightweight, therefore well-suited for this residential development.
