Balconies


Recommended Posts

If designing in a balcony from first floor lounge that spans the length of the house approx 12m

What would be the optimum method to prevent cold bridges. 

1) external hung style

2) inboard so as it sits inside the dimensions of the house.

It would be 1.5 depth.

It would be a side balcony. Probably no gable end as such due to a mono pitched roof. I have seen quite a few kit style home with an "internal" balcony area that is sheltered from the elements from all sides. Drainage, thermal issues can obviously be countered.
