Glass Juliet Balcony Systems

Want to enjoy the benefits of a balcony without having to build one? Juliet balconies offer a cost-efficient way to transform an upper-storey window into a faux balcony, so you can experience the fresh breeze and sunlight without even stepping outside!

A Juliet balcony is created by simply installing a safety balustrade across a full-length window or glass door, which can be opened whenever you want to stand or sit by the barrier and enjoy the outdoor ambience from the comfort of indoors.

Modern Juliet balcony systems take advantage of clear glass balustrades to maximise the view, helping you to feel closer to nature without compromising safety or durability.

Here at The Glass Warehouse, we supply a selection of toughened laminated glass Juliet balconies, available in a variety of sizes and thicknesses. Take a look at the mounting systems on offer and click through for more details on hardware and fittings.

Can you stand on a Juliet balcony?

No – you can’t step out onto a Juliet balcony, because it doesn’t have an external platform that projects from the building. This is why, though it’s commonly known as a balcony, the official term for it is a Juliet guarding – because it’s essentially a guardrail.

Rather than providing outdoor floor space, Juliet balconies work by transforming upper-floor window openings into a multi-purpose feature, which allows you to feel as though you are standing/sitting on or looking out from a balcony without it actually being one.

While this means you won’t have any outdoor floor space, you can still make the most of a Juliet balcony from the inside (which also means you won’t have to worry about bringing furnishings indoors when the weather is bad!).

So, although they technically aren’t full balconies that you can stand on, you can still stand at the barrier and look out to catch the breeze or survey the landscape.

What are the benefits of Juliet balconies?

Juliet balconies bring to mind the dramatic romance of Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet, from which they take their name – and combined with the modern elegance of toughened laminated glass, our Juliet balcony systems are sure to elevate your home or business with a sense of sophistication.

Using clear glass dramatically improves aesthetic appeal, creating a chic façade from the outside and enhancing interior design from the inside. The minimalist glass and metal materials can fit in with most décor schemes, both indoors and out, guaranteeing an eye-catching feature.

At The Glass Warehouse, the systems we supply are available with stainless steel or anodised aluminium fittings, and the latter can be customised with an RAL matt finish in black, white, or grey.

Not only are glass Juliet balconies compact, beautiful, and durable, but they also require less time and work to install – meaning they can transform your property much faster, for a lower cost.

Whether you have financial or spatial constraints limiting your renovation choices, a Juliet guarding can provide the perfect solution for an affordable and space-saving balcony.

Do Juliet balconies need planning permission?

As Juliet balconies don’t feature an external platform and typically don’t require extra structural alterations, they’re usually classed as permitted developments. This means you most likely shouldn’t need to ask your local authority for approval before installing a glass Juliet balcony.

Unlike traditional projecting balconies, Juliet balconies shouldn’t need planning permission – as long as they have no platform, project less than 300mm, and aren’t located on the principal elevation (the front of the building) with privacy concerns.

However, it’s always worth double-checking, because there are some conditions where a Juliet balcony might still require planning permission – and if you proceeded to install it without approval, you could be fined and asked to remove it.

If you’re making structural changes to install the balcony, such as making a window larger or converting it into a door, you may need approval from the local authorities first to make sure you’re complying with local development and national safety regulations.

Please bear in mind that it will be your responsibility as a customer to make sure that your Juliet balcony installation complies with British Safety Standards and planning permission requirements, as The Glass Warehouse only supplies your order as specified.
