Create Your Own Tranquil Space with Bespoke Glass

At Norwich Glass, we use toughened (tempered) glass or toughened (tempered) laminated glass for our glass balconies. Toughened glass is heat-treated to be stronger and more resistant to impact. If broken, it shatters into small pieces, minimising the risk of injury. Toughened Laminated glass offers an extra layer of protection by holding the glass together with an interlayer if it breaks. Both options ensure maximum safety while providing clear views and an elegant finish.

Yes, safety is a priority. We use toughened and toughened laminated glass, which comply with safety standards for external applications. The glass is designed to be impact-resistant, and handrails or other supports are typically included to enhance security, especially for balconies at height. Our installation process follows strict safety protocols to ensure your glass balcony is as safe as stylish.

Yes, we offer fully customisable glass balconies to suit your style and your property's specific needs. You can choose from different types of glass—clear, frosted, or tinted—and custom finishes for the handrails and fittings. Whether you want a minimalist frameless design or a more traditional framed look, we work with you to create a balcony that complements your home and enhances your outdoor space.

While many glass balconies feature a handrail for added safety, it's not always required. Frameless glass balconies, for example, are designed to provide uninterrupted views and a sleek aesthetic without a handrail. However, depending on the height and location of the balcony, building regulations and safety standards may dictate whether a handrail is necessary. Our team will guide you through the options and requirements to ensure compliance with local regulations.

The installation time depends on the complexity and size of the project. A straightforward installation may take a day, while larger or more intricate designs could take longer. We'll provide a clear timeline and ensure the process is smooth and efficient with minimal disruption to your home.

In many cases, installing a glass balcony does not require planning permission, especially replacing an existing structure. However, if you're making significant structural changes, particularly in a listed building or conservation area, you may need to consult local authorities. We can advise you on this process and help ensure compliance with any necessary regulations.

Yes, we can retrofit a glass balcony onto an existing structure. However, we'll need to assess the current structure to ensure it's strong enough to support the weight of the glass. We'll take care of any reinforcements or adjustments as part of the installation process, ensuring your balcony is safe and secure.

Yes, they can be installed on uneven surfaces, such as sloped roofs or terraces. Our team of professionals will assess the area and design a solution that accommodates any irregularities while ensuring a stable, secure installation.

They are low maintenance. To keep them looking their best, we recommend regular cleaning with a glass cleaner and a soft cloth to remove dirt and grime. It's also important to periodically check the fittings and hardware to ensure they remain in good condition, especially for outdoor installations exposed to the elements.

The cost of a glass balcony depends on the size of the structure, the type of glass used (e.g., toughened or laminated), and any custom features like handrails or special finishes.
