Important Note:

Every balcony (both standard and non-standard) has a site-specific submittal package for material and installation instruction details. The site-submittal package MUST be used to guide all installation steps. If you have further questions, contact your AS&D project manager.

Note: Some larger, or non-standard, balconies require different hardware and installation methods. Refer to the AS&D submittal package for instructions.

1. Brackets must be installed to structural framing members or per approved engineering details. Brackets must be installed prior to waterproofing and siding. 2. Verify that all components have been received and that brackets are the correct size based on the AS&D submittal package.

3. Sort and separate brackets to match corresponding submittal. Brackets are labeled on the back side with corresponding balcony letter. Check submittals to make sure each bracket matches the balcony.

Important Note: Brackets are specifically designed for your job and for each individual balcony. Brackets are manufactured based on siding thickness and their placement on the building. Before installation verify siding thickness matches the submittal. If the measurement varies by more than 5/8" contact your AS&D project manager.

 4. Sort and place the supplied hex bolts, nuts, and lock washers next to the sag rod brackets. Check submittals to verify the size requirements for hardware based on your sag rod bracket design.

5. Sort and place supplied hex lags and lock washers next to the sub fascia brackets. Verify these components match the submittals as well. 6. Always verify bracket type and placement using the site specific submittal package.

8A: Using the submittal packet locate the overall width of the balcony on the building structure.

8B: Divide the overall width from Step 8A by two (2). This measurement will be your centerline.

Note: The balcony may or may NOT be centered on the rough opening, refer to your site-specific submittal packet for exact dimensions.

9. From the estimated height of the finished interior floor surface, measure down 1 5/8” and mark the required measurement for bracket placement.

Note: Some balconies may have different measurements, refer to your site-specific submittal packet for exact dimensions.

10. Install sub fascia brackets per submittal dimensions using the supplied hex lags. 11. Continue installing sub fascia brackets
always referring to your submittal package.
Installation ProTip Step 01

Many installers have found it helpful to create a jig to ensure quicker and consistent bracket placement.

12. Install sag rod brackets to the building using the supplied hardware called out in your submittal package. The submittal provides the exact dimensions where you will install the sag rod brackets.

13. Ensure brackets have been installed correctly using the site-specific submittal packet.

AFTER verification of correct installation, waterproofing and siding can be installed.
