Juliet Balconies
A Juliet balcony is known for its slim structure and are typically installed outside upper storey windows and doors to allow property owners to enjoy the fresh air without risking their safety.
You can opt for framed if you prefer a structured look or frameless glass offers you a completely unobstructed view ideal for minimalists. No matter the property type, we can design and install a Juliet balcony for a double storey house, a flat block or a converted building.
Projecting Balconies
A projecting balcony enclosure provides you with a walk out space to set up furniture and enjoy the sun and outdoors, allowing you to make the most of the early mornings and late evenings.
Choose to have frameless glass for clear views or framed for a classic and traditional finish, both of these options can be fitted to a suspended platform or one supported by vertical pillars or posts. A real wow factor addition to any property.

FAQs

-
What type of glass is used?
We use toughened (tempered) glass or toughened laminated glass. Toughened glass is heat-treated for strength and shatters into small pieces if broken, minimising injury risk. Laminated glass adds an interlayer for extra protection, holding the glass together even if it cracks. Both options provide safety, clear views, and an elegant finish.
-
Are they safe?
Yes, safety is a top priority. Toughened and laminated glass options comply with safety standards for external use. These materials are impact-resistant, and handrails or additional supports are often included for added security. Installation follows strict safety protocols to ensure a secure and stylish result.
-
Can they be customised?
Yes, designs can be tailored to your preferences. Options include clear, frosted, or tinted glass, along with various finishes for handrails and fittings. Whether you prefer a minimalist frameless design or a more traditional look, we can create a solution that complements your property and enhances your outdoor space.
-
Do they require a handrail?
Handrails are often included for safety but aren’t always necessary. Frameless designs, for instance, provide uninterrupted views without one. Building regulations and safety standards determine whether a handrail is required, depending on the height and location. We’ll guide you through the options and ensure compliance with local regulations.
-
What are the benefits?
Clear glass provides unobstructed views, seamlessly connecting your space to the outdoors. It offers a modern aesthetic with a sleek, contemporary design that complements various architectural styles. Natural light flows freely through glass, brightening your home and creating an open atmosphere. Additionally, toughened and laminated glass is durable, weather-resistant, and requires minimal maintenance, making it a practical and stylish choice for any property.
-
How long does installation take?
The installation time depends on the complexity and size of the project. A straightforward glass balcony 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.
-
Do I need planning permission?
Planning permission is often not required, especially for replacing an existing structure. However, adding a new balcony or making significant structural changes, particularly in conservation areas or listed buildings, may require approval. We can advise on the process to ensure compliance with local regulations.
-
Can they be installed on an existing structure?
Yes, glass balconies can be retrofitted. A structural assessment will determine if reinforcements are needed to support the weight. Any necessary adjustments will be included in the installation process for a safe, secure result.
-
Can they be installed on uneven surfaces?
Yes, even uneven surfaces like sloped roofs or terraces can accommodate these installations. We’ll assess the area and design a solution to address any irregularities while ensuring stability and security.
-
What maintenance is required?
They are low maintenance. Regular cleaning with a soft cloth and glass cleaner will keep them looking their best. Periodically check the hardware and fittings, especially for outdoor installations exposed to the elements.
-
How much do they cost?
Pricing depends on factors like size, type of glass, and custom features such as handrails or finishes. Installation and any required structural adjustments can also affect the total cost. Contact us for a personalised quote tailored to your project.
