Orbis balconies set the benchmark for stability and security, offering market-leading minimum deflection rates of just 1/520—far exceeding the regulation minimum of 1/180 and outperforming competitors who typically offer 1/360.
This superior structural integrity is achieved through our innovative, patented rebar system and lightweight construction, which reduces strain on the building while ensuring long-term durability.
Our unique reinforcement bars are welded to a spreading face plate, allowing forces from the stubs to be evenly distributed into the reinforcement. This eliminates unnecessary bending of the edge plate, enhancing the overall strength of the structure.
Unlike traditional balcony systems that rely on just three large stubs for support, the Orbis system uses five lightweight stubs to evenly distribute the load, improving performance and longevity.
Additionally, our solid fixing plate, combined with the stub system, provides market-leading anti-rotation and anti-torsion properties, creating one of the strongest and most reliable first and second-fix systems available.
The 2nd fix stubs are made of lightweight galvanised steel weighing only 7kg each, making them fast and easy to fix. Our stubs have a market leading strength to weight ratio where typically stubs weigh between 25 – 75kg, a considerable weight saving.
Standard balconies require the use of three large stubs for support. However, the Orbis Balcony system utilises five precision stubs, which helps to evenly distribute the weight and alleviate stress on the building. As stubs are fixed to the patented spreader bar, this ensures the balcony perfectly aligns at the point of installation, reducing tedious adjustment issues.
Orbis balconies are designed with low-maintenance drainage systems as standard, fully compliant with BS8579 regulations, ensuring the highest quality and safety in water management.
Say goodbye to the hassle of frequent drain maintenance. Our system is engineered to minimise blockages and clogging, allowing for efficient water flow at all times. Whether diverting water away from the structure or integrating into a comprehensive water management system, our drainage ensures no standing water, reducing the risk of unpleasant odours or surface damage.
Crafted from high-quality, weather-resistant materials, our balcony drainage system is built for longevity, withstanding harsh conditions while maintaining peak performance. The customisable soffit design provides a sleek, high-end finish that seamlessly integrates with any balcony aesthetic.
Installation is seamless with our user-friendly system, and our team of experts is always available to provide guidance and support. Upgrade to Orbis’ BS8579-compliant drainage solution and enjoy a balcony that stays dry, clean, and hassle-free.
