To price your balustrade requirement first choose the shape most similar to yours
Summer weather invariably makes us yearn to spend more time outside. A stylish glass balustrade or an elegant Juliet balcony from Balconette is the ideal solution to connect with your outdoor space without spoiling the view.
The secret to combining lightness and strength in our innovative glass balustrading lies in the design of our aluminium handrails. Attractive, hard-wearing, and available in a choice of finishes, they offer a cost-effective and low-maintenance alternative to traditional railings or other glass balustrade systems.
So, if you are planning to add a Balconette balustrade to your home, here is a guide on how to choose the glass railing design that will enhance your enjoyment of the product.
How does our glass railing design work
Technical improvements in our glass railing design have seamlessly integrated precision-engineered handrail profiles, lighter glass, and a robust supporting base. The outcome is a light, durable, state-of-the-art glass balustrading system that necessitates very few, and in some cases, no vertical supports.
Thanks to these technical advances, Balconette can now provide a more versatile range of glass railing designs, including curved balustrades that truly deliver the 'wow' factor.
Types of glass railing design
Balconette offers two types of glass railing design that utilize an anodized or powder-coated aluminium handrail – the Orbit System glass balustrade and the Aerofoil System glass balustrade.
The Orbit system features a 70mm circular handrail, creating clean sightlines above the glass panels. This glass railing design allows for spans of up to 3.3m without posts when fixed between walls or other structural elements. When posts are required, they can be up to 1.9m apart.
Named after its wing-like profile, our Aerofoil system glass balustrade has become exceptionally popular among our customers. The broader shape imparts a sense of sturdiness, and its unique design and aesthetic set it apart from any other handrail on the market.
Expanding the realm of exciting glass railing design options, the Aerofoil handrail allows for 4m spans of glass without posts when fixed between walls or a similar structure, making it an excellent choice for maintaining uninterrupted views on larger balconies. If posts are needed, they can be spaced up to 2.1m apart.
Choice of glass railing finishes
Our aluminium handrails come in various attractive and durable finishes, allowing you to match your existing colour scheme. These options comprise Balconette’s exclusive Royal Chrome, mimicking brushed stainless steel, as well as matte silver finishes.
Virtually no maintenance required
The Balconette glass railing design incorporates glass panels and anodized aluminium handrails, both made from corrosion-resistant and long-lasting materials. This ensures that your glass balustrade requires virtually no maintenance, keeping it looking as good as the day it was installed.
Guarantee for peace of mind
All Balconette profile finishes come with a 10-year guarantee, providing you peace of mind that they are durable and will maintain their appearance for years to come.
