Frameless Glass Juliet Balcony - Modern

Frameless and side fixed. Stainless steel button fixings at each side hold the glass, with no rail along the top or the bottom. The fixings are the only ironmongery on the opening.

It is the most minimal thing we make. Nothing crosses the view, and from inside the room the glass reads as a sheet of light rather than a balcony.

Sizes, and the frameless alternative on a wider opening

The sizes above run to 1800mm. Measure the structural opening, not the door.

Above 1800mm, look at the Canterbury instead. It is also frameless, but the glass sits in an aluminium channel at each side rather than on button fixings, and that channel is what lets it carry a wider panel. It covers openings up to 2400mm. Same frameless look, more span.

For a made-to-measure size, tell us the opening width and we will price it.

Take the widest of three measurements across the structural opening rather than an average. The balcony has to cover the opening at its widest point and the fixings land outside it, so the widest figure is the one that matters. Our Juliet balcony measuring guide shows where to measure and how much we add each side.

The glass, and why the handrail option changes it

Two specifications, selected above:

• 17.5mm toughened laminated glass, no handrail. The fully frameless option. With no rail above it the glass is the entire barrier, so it has to stay in place after breakage rather than dropping out as granules. That is why it is laminated as well as toughened, and why it is thicker.
• 15mm toughened glass with a handrail. The rail is still there if a pane is ever damaged, so toughened glass on its own is normally accepted, and the glass can be thinner.

Neither is a cheap version of the other. The thickness follows the design, not the budget. If you are unsure which your building control officer will want, ask them before you order rather than after.

UKCA marked, and compliant for domestic use

UKCA marked to BS EN 1090-2, which is a legal requirement rather than an optional badge, and supplied with a Declaration of Performance for building control sign-off.

Designed in accordance with BS 6180, the code of practice for barriers in and about buildings, for domestic applications, at 0.74kN/m loading and 1100mm high. Commercial, public and multi-occupancy buildings are designed to higher imposed loads, so if it is going anywhere other than a private dwelling, tell us at enquiry stage and we will design and price it to the right loading. Structural calculations are available on request either way.

Our balcony and Juliet building regulations guide covers guarding heights and loadings in plain English.

What is included

• The glass panel, toughened, and laminated on the no-handrail option
• Stainless steel button fixings
• The handrail, where selected
• UKCA certificate and Declaration of Performance
• 10 year warranty
• Wall fixings are not supplied: your installer sources anchors to suit the substrate, because the right fixing depends entirely on what you are fixing into

Made in our Sheffield workshop. 100% positive feedback across more than 78,000 eBay sales, and 4.8 out of 5 from over 180 Google, Trustpilot and Yell reviews.

Installation

• Straightforward to fit with reasonable DIY skills
• Fixing instructions are provided, and we are a phone call away if you want to talk it through
• Installation by our own site teams is available as an optional extra. Ask for it with your enquiry and we will price it alongside the balcony.

Button fixings put the whole load into a small number of points, so what you are fixing into matters more here than on a railed design. Send us a photograph of the opening if you are not certain about the substrate.

Working at height is your responsibility. Use properly erected access equipment.

We do not assess what your wall is built from. We certify the balcony; we never certify the structure it is fixed to.

Fixings

Every fixing needed to assemble the balcony is supplied with it.

Wall and floor fixings are not supplied on a supply only order. The right anchor depends on what your building is made of and what condition it is in, and that is not a call we can make from here. Fixing points come drilled ready and your installer selects anchors to suit the substrate. Where we install, we take that decision on site and provide them.
