Whether you’re looking to enhance your view, create a new outdoor space for your family and pets to enjoy or encourage more light and fresh air into your property safely, we can help with our made to measure glass installation service.
Juliet Balconies
A Juliet balcony is known for its slim structure and are typically installed outside upper storey windows and doors to allow property owners to enjoy the fresh air without risking their safety.
You can opt for framed if you prefer a structured look or frameless glass offers you a completely unobstructed view ideal for minimalists. No matter the property type, we can design and install a Juliet balcony for a double storey house, a flat block or a converted building.
Projecting Balconies
A projecting balcony enclosure provides you with a walk out space to set up furniture and enjoy the sun and outdoors, allowing you to make the most of the early mornings and late evenings.
Choose to have frameless glass for clear views or framed for a classic and traditional finish, both of these options can be fitted to a suspended platform or one supported by vertical pillars or posts. A real wow factor addition to any property.

-
Will my glass balcony be cut to size?
Yes. All of our glass is made to measure. We ask for as much detail and sizing measurements as you can provide to ensure the glass design you’ve ordered fits the space you need it for.
-
Are glass balconies safe?
Yes. They are safe provided they’ve been supplied and installed by a glazier who is a CHAS accredited contractor.
-
What are the requirements for a glass balcony in the UK?
There are a couple of things to consider when having a glass balcony installed to guarantee it complies to UK building regulations. The first being that an external balcony needs to be 1100mm in height. Secondly, the glass needs to meet certain line load, uniformly distributed load and concentrated load requirements, which is determined by the number of people occupying the building. Norwich Glass Company is responsible for advising customers on these.
-
What type of glass is used for balconies?
Toughened (or tempered) glass will always be used for glass balconies due to its strength against extreme force compared to normal glass.
-
Do you need planning permission?
Yes. You will need planning permission for a glass balcony installation. Whilst planning permission isn’t needed in most cases for a Juliet balcony, it is safer in the long-run to request it anyhow before you design a balcony.
Excellent service; fast, friendly, very efficient and great value. I will certainly be going back and also highly recommend to others... Couldn't be more pleased.
