The Clear Choice: Different Styles of Glass Juliette Balconies
Glass juliette balconies have become a hallmark of modern architecture, offering an unobstructed view and bringing a sleek, contemporary feel to any building. The glass panels are secured directly to the building's structure—often into the reveal or face of the building—without vertical posts.
Far from being a one-size-fits-all solution, these beautiful barriers come in a variety of styles, each offering unique aesthetic and structural benefits. Choosing the correct style depends on your client's house style and their budget.
In this article, we explore the options available and each of their benefits:
- Key Feature: Pure, uninterrupted glass. The balcony appears to float, providing maximum visibility. Manufactured in robust, aluminium and available in multiple colours and finishes.
- Installation: Face Fixed or Side fixed
- Best For: Minimalist or modern homes where the focus is entirely on the view and achieving a seamless glass barrier.
- Key Feature: Suitable for numerous glass thicknesses, this can be fixed in both a vertical or horizontal arrangement. Available in a 320 grit brushed finish 316 grade stainless steel.
- Installation: Face Fixed
- Best For: All styles of building but regularly used for clients that have a smaller budget. Thinner and therefore cheaper glass is possible to be used because it is the handrail itself that takes the load, not the glass.
- Key Feature: These are a very popular choice due to their versatility. Available in 316 SS or Black 316 SS, multiple designs and stand off depths are possible.
- Installation: Face Fixed
- Best For: Minimalist designs and/or large openings. When installed underneath the sill, there is no limitation to the total width.
