With ‘Juliette’ style balconies and external balconies becoming a popular design feature, Balcony Ltd has decided the time is right to offer its clear glazed alternative to the UK marketplace.

The company’s proven technology, used throughout the world, complies with all relevant European and British Standards, says Balcony.

What makes the Balcony solution different is that it does not require structural glass – instead the ground-breaking approach lies in the hand-railing itself. Its aluminium structure securely holds a straight glass balcony for up to 3 or 3.8 metres without the use of vertical posts, allowing an uninterrupted view from the inside and complementing the building’s exterior appearance.

Installation of Juliette balconies is simple and straightforward, with no vertical posts required for apertures measuring up to 3.2 metres wide. The bottom track is connected underneath the window cill and the handrail is fixed on the side and face of the wall beyond the edge of the structural opening.

For external balconies, the system offers designers wider scope and versatility in creating curves of virtually any radius and ‘S’-shaped bends to complement any type of building, from one-off homes to hotels and apartment blocks. Long stretches of curved glass can be achieved on all types of balconies, such as timber, steel or concrete, with no or few vertical posts.

Like the Juliette system, external balconies use the 6063 T5 extruded aluminium balustrade in bronze or silver satin finishes, or which can be powder-coated to any RAL colour to suit the design specification.

A full supply and fit service is available, or supply only, if required and there is full technical support on hand from concept to completion.
