Types of glass balcony

Juliet Balconies

With their slim profile, Juliet balconies are typically installed outside upper storey windows and doors, allowing the property owners to enjoy the fresh air without risking their safety. They can be fitted to houses, apartment blocks or converted buildings.

If you prefer a structured feel, a framed option is probably the best choice. Alternatively, frameless glass offers you a completely unobstructed view and is sure to appeal to minimalists.

Projecting Balconies

A projecting balcony provides an enclosed walk-out space where you can set up furniture or a few pot plants to enjoy the sun and fresh air whenever you want. Projecting balconies are great for making the most of the early morning and late evening – plus they add a real ‘wow’ factor to any property.

Choose frameless glass for completely unobstructed views or framed for a classic and traditional finish. Either option can be fitted to a suspended platform or one supported by vertical pillars or posts.

Benefits of a glass balcony

  • Enhance your view

    If you have room with a view, make the most of it and enjoy it at any time of day on your own custom-made balcony.

  • Add more space to your property

    Create a private space, just for you, where you can escape the rush of day-to-day life without having to refurbish your property.

  • Increase property value

    Installing a balcony that provides more opportunities to enjoy the outdoors can increase the value of your property – particularly where outdoor space is limited.

  • Bring the outside in

    Encouraging natural light and fresh air indoors makes your internal space more appealing, comfortable and mood-boosting.

Frequently asked questions

  • What type of glass do you use for balconies?

    We use toughened (tempered) glass or toughened laminated glass. Toughened glass is heat-treated for strength and shatters into small pieces if broken, minimising injury risk. Laminated glass adds an interlayer for extra protection, holding the glass together even if it cracks. Both options provide safety, clear views and an elegant finish.

  • Are glass balconies safe?

    Absolutely. Safety is a top priority when making balcony glass, and toughened and laminated options comply with all relevant safety standards for external use. These materials are impact-resistant and handrails or additional supports are often included for added security. Installation follows strict safety protocols to ensure a secure and stylish result.

  • Can glass balconies be customised?

    Yes, we can tailor designs to your preferences. Options include clear, frosted or tinted glass, along with various finishes for handrails and fittings. Whether you prefer a minimalist frameless design or a more traditional look, we can create a solution that complements your property and enhances your outdoor space.

  • Do balconies require a handrail?

    Handrails are often included in glass balconies for safety, but they aren’t always necessary. It all depends on building regulations and safety standards, as well as the height and location of the balcony.

    If a handrail isn’t required, you’re not obliged to have one. Frameless glass balcony designs, for instance, provide uninterrupted views when no handrail is fitted.

    We’ll guide you through the options for your glass balcony and ensure compliance with local regulations.

  • What are the benefits of a glass balcony?

    Clear glass provides completely unobstructed views, erasing the boundary between your interior living space and the outdoors.

    Glass balconies embody a modern aesthetic with a sleek, contemporary design that perfectly complements a whole range of architectural styles. Natural light flows freely through glass, brightening your home and creating an open atmosphere.

    Finally, toughened and laminated glass is durable, weather-resistant and requires minimal maintenance, making it a practical and stylish choice for any property.

  • How long does it take to install a glass balcony?

    Installation time depends on the complexity and size of the project. A straightforward glass balcony installation may take a day, while larger or more intricate designs could take longer. We’ll provide a clear timeline and ensure the process is smooth and efficient with minimal disruption to your home.

  • Do I need planning permission for a balcony?

    Planning permission is often not required, especially for replacing an existing structure. However, adding a new balcony or making significant structural changes, particularly in conservation areas or listed buildings, may require approval. We can advise on the process to ensure compliance with local regulations.

  • Can glass balconies be installed on an existing structure?

    Yes, glass balconies can be retrofitted. A structural assessment will determine whether reinforcements are needed to support the weight. Any necessary adjustments will be included in the installation process for a safe, secure result.

  • Can glass balconies be installed on uneven surfaces?

    Yes, even uneven surfaces like sloped roofs or terraces can accommodate these installations. We’ll assess the area and design a solution to address any irregularities while ensuring stability and security.

  • What maintenance do glass balconies require?

    Glass balconies are low-maintenance by design. Regular cleaning with a soft cloth and glass cleaner will keep them looking their best. Make sure you check the hardware and fittings every so often, especially for outdoor installations exposed to the elements.

  • How much does a glass balcony cost?

    Pricing depends on factors including size, type of glass and custom features such as handrails or finishes. Installation and any required structural adjustments can also affect the total cost. For a personalised quote tailored to your project, just get in touch.

  • Do you install the actual balcony itself?

    No, we don’t fit or manufacture the balcony structure, but we can work with any carpenter or other provider of your choice to install the glass within the system they have built.
