Structural Beam for a balcony chassis
A structural beam 110 for a balcony chassis 100, the beam being elongate and having a channel 112 in its elongate direction, the channel having a profile configured to slidably retain a fixing member 210 for mounting a component to the chassis. The component may be a structural beam, balustrade, soffit panel, floor member, fascia panel or lifting member. The channel opening may be narrower than the width of the channel behind. The channel profile may be C-shaped, cross-shaped, or a cross-slot. Two or more parallel channels may be formed in the elongate direction of the beam. The beam may be rectangular in cross section with a channel in each of four planar external faces 111, 113, 115, 117. The beam may be hollow and formed by extrusion. Also claimed is a balcony chassis comprising the beam, and a balcony supported on one or more cantilevered beams projecting from a structure 200 and including the chassis. The fixing member may comprise a threaded plate or nut 210 which slots into the channel and which engages bolt 211. The beam may be aluminium, steel, or GRP.
