What is a glass Juliet balcony?
A glass Juliet balcony is a minimalist structure that elegantly complements windows, patio doors, and building façades. It is mounted externally – on the window frame or in the wall. The key element is a panel of safety glass that protects against mechanical damage. Suitable for single- and multi-family homes, as well as office buildings.
What are the advantages of a glass Juliet balcony?
This solution enhances safety by preventing falls from open windows. It does not block natural light or the view – unlike traditional opaque balustrades. Visually, it blends into the façade, adding lightness and a modern touch – ideal for elegant, contemporary architecture. In short: safety, brightness, and aesthetics.
Construction and materials
The construction typically features laminated safety glass (VSG), made of two or more panes joined by a flexible film that holds shards in case of breakage. Mounting components – usually steel anchors, screws, or point fixings – ensure durability. See also our Skyforce glass balustrades.
