Wide Span Glass Juliet Balcony

Built for wide openings. The rails step up to 60mm tubular section against the 48mm used on our standard glass Juliet, and that heavier section is what lets it span from 2400mm to 3500mm without an intermediate post in the middle of the view.

That is the whole point of it. On a wide opening the usual answer is to break the run with a post, which puts an upright straight down the middle of what you are looking at. This one does not.

UKCA marked, and compliant for domestic use

UKCA marked to BS EN 1090-2, as all our structural steelwork is. That is a legal requirement rather than a badge, and building control will want the Declaration of Performance when a project is signed off.

The balustrade is 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.

Span matters here more than on a narrow balcony. The same line load across 3.5m puts far more bending into the rails than it does across 1.2m, which is exactly why the section is heavier rather than the same part made longer. Structural calculations are available on request.

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

How it is made

• 60mm tubular top and bottom rails, against 48mm on the standard glass Juliet
• Toughened safety glass with polished edges and radius corners, clear or frosted, selected above
• Stainless steel, or galvanised and powdercoated in white, black or anthracite grey, selected above
• Made 150mm wider than the door opening on each side as standard, so the fixings land in solid masonry rather than at the edge of the reveal
• Wall fixings are not supplied: your installer sources anchors to suit the substrate, because the right fixing depends entirely on what you are fixing to
• Structural calculations available on request
• 10 year structural warranty

Sizes

2400mm to 3500mm above. If your opening is narrower than 2400mm you do not need this one, and the Modern Style glass Juliet covers up to 2100mm in the lighter 48mm section for less money.

Wider than 3500mm, or a size between the bands, tell us the opening width and we will price it. Measure the structural opening, not the door.

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.

Installation

• Supplied in kit form and straightforward to fit with reasonable DIY skills
• Basic 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.

A glass panel this wide is heavy and awkward, so plan on more than one pair of hands. Working at height is your responsibility. Use properly erected access equipment.

We do not assess what your wall is built from, and on an opening this wide that matters more than usual, because the fixings are carrying a longer run. 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.
