What are Juliet balconies?
Named after the iconic character from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Juliet balconies do more than add a romantic touch to your property. Fixed across a window or door opening on an upper storey, they don't extend outwards, so you can't stand or sit on them - but you can still enjoy access to the outdoors and brighten your interior space with natural light and fresh air.
Imagine sipping your morning coffee with an uninterrupted view of the sunrise, spending a peaceful afternoon people-watching over the rail, or enjoying a gentle evening breeze while you relax in your room. These daydreams can quickly become your everyday life with our top-quality, clear glass Juliet balconies.
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 rather than blocking it with traditional railings. Smaller offset wall fixings can also create a seamless modern appearance.
The Juliet balustrade can be mounted directly onto the window frame (e.g. wood, PVC, or aluminium) or span the full width of the opening and attach to the masonry of the building façade on either side (e.g. brick or concrete), as the standard sizes and fixings we stock are compatible with most Juliet balcony profiles.
While customisation will increase the lead time, your Juliet balcony kit with your chosen fixings will be supplied as quickly as possible and arrive ready to install, helping you meet all relevant building regulations. So, when you order from EGW, you can enjoy your brand-new Juliet balcony system in no time.
Improving lighting and ventilation while bringing a sense of sophistication to any property, what’s not to love about a Juliet balcony from a trusted manufacturer like EGW?

The Benefits of Glass Juliet Balconies at Express Glass Warehouse
As a trusted UK manufacturer of glass Juliet balconies, EGW is here to help you revamp your property's exterior aesthetics while ensuring maximum protection against the drop from a higher level. The many benefits and design possibilities that our Juliet balconies can offer include:
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 are not just aesthetically pleasing – 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 of your Juliet balcony system. If you choose a system with a top rail, you can also feel reassured that the rail is safe to lean on (with appropriate caution).
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 when you choose to install a Juliet balcony system from EGW.
Easy Installation Process
Don't let the thought of installation deter you from enhancing your home's appeal. 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.
Whether you choose a horizontal semi-framed Juliet balcony, vertical Juliet balcony profiles, or stand-off Juliet balcony fittings, each system has been created with safety and ease of installation in mind. Afterwards, you can simply stand back and enjoy the completed look with your preferred glass fittings, from chrome or matt finishes to white, black, or anthracite grey colour options.
Simple Maintenance
Maintaining a glass Juliet balcony is straightforward. Our glass and metal balconies are designed to withstand most weather conditions and require minimal upkeep to stay in good condition. Regular cleaning and polishing, using a soft cloth and non-abrasive cleaning solution, should keep your beautiful Juliet balcony looking as good as new for years to come.
That said, if your property is located in a coastal area, you should ensure that your Juliet balcony features stainless steel or anodised aluminium fixings to withstand moisture, salt spray, and wind-driven sand particles that can speed up corrosion and lead to rust. In these cases, it’s recommended to clean the balcony more often and add a protective coating.
