What are Juliet balconies?
Juliet balconies are fixed across a window or door opening on an upper storey so you can enjoy access to the outdoors and brighten your interior space with natural light and fresh air, without the need for a traditional balcony.
Each Juliet balcony can be mounted directly onto the window frame or span the full width of the opening on the building façade on either side, leaving your room feeling more spacious and enjoyable in just a few hours.
Using slim steel or aluminium profiles in combination with toughened glass panels, you can achieve the practically invisible look of a frameless glass balcony – letting the light in through the clear balustrade. Alternatively, you can choose smaller offset wall fixings for a seamless modern appearance.
No matter the design you choose, what you are fixing into, or the size you need, we'll supply your Juliet balcony as quickly as possible, helping you meet all relevant building regulations and instantly improve your space in one fell swoop.
Benefits of a Glass Juliet Balcony
As a trusted UK manufacturer of bespoke glass products, EGW is here to help you revamp your property's exterior aesthetics with a stunning Juliet balcony system. These alternative openings bring many benefits, including:
Exceptional Quality and Design Diversity
When it comes to quality and design variety, our Juliet balconies are unmatched. We provide a range of styles – including options for top-mounted, side-mounted, or steel button fixing systems – ensuring that every customer finds an affordable balcony style to suit their home's architecture.
While beauty is important, your safety remains our priority, which is why we combine robust construction with refined style. Our Juliet balconies come with a selection of finishes and reliable fixings. These systems are also sturdy, durable, and constructed to meet the highest standards.
Superior Materials for Maximum Safety
We use only the best materials, such as toughened glass, for our modern Juliet balconies. These materials ensure both durability and an unobstructed view through the glass when you stand at the window or door opening.
Designed to comply with current safety regulations for Juliet guardings, each Juliet balcony we supply has been meticulously tested to ensure they can withstand substantial pressure, giving you peace of mind and security.
Easy Installation Process
All of our Juliet balconies are designed for easy installation without significant structural changes, meaning you can fit a glass Juliet balcony over a pre-existing opening with less effort, all without compromising on safety or quality.
So, whether you need to mount onto a PVC, wood, or aluminium window frame, or attach to a brick or concrete building façade, our standard sizes and fixings are compatible with most buildings.
Simple Maintenance
All of our glass and metal balconies are designed to withstand most weather conditions and require minimal upkeep, giving you one less thing to do. Simply clean and polish using a soft cloth and non-abrasive cleaning solution to keep your balustrade looking as good as new for years to come.
Do Juliet Balconies Need Planning Permission?
Unlike traditional balconies which feature an external platform, Juliet balconies are instead fitted to existing windows or French doors – and so typically won't require extra structural alterations or planning permission. This is usually permitted under permitted development rights.
Juliet balconies don't need planning permission because they don't:
- Have a platform
- Extend outwards less than 300mm from the wall
- Affect privacy concerns because they aren't often located on the principal elevation (the front of the building)
However, it's always worth double-checking, because there are some conditions where a Juliet balcony might still require planning permission. For example, if you're making structural changes to install the balcony, such as making a window larger or converting it into a door, you will likely need permission from your local council.
Are Juliet Balconies Compliant with Building Regulations?
All EGW Juliet balcony systems are designed and manufactured to meet or exceed UK BS 6180:2011 and BS EN 12150 safety standards.
However, as EGW are only responsible for supply and delivery, it is your responsibility to ensure Juliet balconies are fitted safely and appropriately once delivered to your preferred drop-off location.
