The Advantages of Balcony Systems Juliet Balcony Systems AKA the "Balconette" system.
The term "Juliette Balcony" or "Juliet Balcony"
is very particular to the market in the United Kingdom, in the United
States they would have no idea what you would be talking about.
Having a very romantic origin the term comes from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet famous balcony scene.
As very different from a "walk on" type balcony, the term Juliet Balcony
in simplicity is a guarding or barrier placed on the outside of full
height French doors that are installed on the first floor or higher
floors, that do not lead to a balcony.
The modern house build
utilizes the use of full height windows and doors in the creation of a
larger "virtual space" is a small environment. This creates an
extension of the outside visibility and enlarges the viewpoint from the
inside by giving a downward view from further away.
The traditional Juliet balcony
was made from steel, usually painted black, with vertical bars. This
would be installed onto the wall outside and work as a barrier.
