About this detail

A balcony guardrail and edge assembly anchored to a painted C10x20 steel channel, with size variations per similar conditions. The vertical support utilizes two and a half inch metal studs spaced at twenty-four inches on center, backed by two-by wood nailers. One inch of rigid insulation is inserted between the plywood and the steel channel. A typical half-inch backer rod and sealant, recessed by a quarter inch, is provided alongside a quarter-inch maximum sealant joint at the end of the wood ceiling.
