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.
This sort of product has a "heavy" set feel to it and gives a "cage" sort of feel both from the inside and from the outside..

 

The Balcony Systems solution for Juliet balconies goes hand in glove with the basic purpose and intention of putting full height windows or doors in the first place.

 

From the inside you achieve an unobstructed glass balustrade, with a clean handrail spanning across the opening, no vertical bars or posts, no glass clamps or lugs.

 

The system uses the inherent strength in the Balcony System patented handrail to resist the loading required by building regulations. A Juliette balcony with a 4.0m span can be achieved without a single post!

 

Building it's systems from on site experience Balcony Systems developed this product also from the perspective of an installer and has made it one of the easiest glass systems to install. Not only that but if ever required a glass panel can easily be replaced from inside the property without scaffolding. Many customers have commented to us just how happy they were and how easy it has been to install their Juliet Balcony.

 

Balcony systems researched and surveyed architects and customers and has concluded that when on a balcony or a Juliet balcony and particularly when glass is the material, users feel safer and prefer to lean on a handrail then just glass.

 

Balcony systems Juliette Balcony system has become so popular that it is stocked in seven standard models and in four colours. This allows balcony to supply "off the shelf" to builders, private homeowners, self builders and renovators who have left this to the last moment.
