Juliet Balcony
We make Juliet balconies in Sheffield and ship them all over the UK. This page is the map of the range — what we build, how the models differ, and which one suits your opening. If you want the background rather than the products, our Juliet balcony buying guide covers sizing, regulations, planning permission and cost in depth.
Glass Juliet balconies
Six models, and what separates them is how the glass is held. That is not obvious from the photographs, so it is worth a moment.
- Wembley — glass seated on gaskets in a 42mm slotted stainless profile, top and bottom, with the fixings concealed. Toughened and laminated glass. The most seamless of the framed designs.
- Modern style — visually close to the Wembley, but the glass is held in stainless glass clamps on a 48mm tubular rail. The clamps are on show, and on this one that is the look.
- Canterbury Infinity — frameless. Aluminium channel at each side, nothing across the top, no handrail offered. Channel powder coated to match for an extra charge.
- Modern frameless — also frameless, but held on side-fix stainless button fixings rather than channel.
- Wide Span — for openings wider than the standard range covers. 60mm tubular section instead of 48mm. The only glass model offered in powder coated finish as well as stainless.
- Elegance — the other answer to a wide opening. Intermediate posts with a handrail over, closer to a side-mounted balustrade, which covers the width in slimmer material. Needs room below the door opening to land the post fixings.
Metal Juliet balconies and railings
Ten designs in galvanised mild steel, powder coated to any colour if you want it. All use solid infill bars — the differences are in the sections and the decoration.
- Yale — plain, and the one we hold in stock, so it skips the lead time
- Madrid — the same plain design with round corner fixing plates
- York — square infills and 40mm square posts with a ball finial
- Eden — the same ball-topped posts with round infill bars
- Birkby — a criss-cross feature panel above the rail
- Loxley — Spanish bow infills, traditional without being ornate
- Regency — the Spanish bow with decorative rings and collars
- Boston — double-basket detail, the most ornate we make
- Lincoln — curved, plain, and about 300mm deep with a mesh floor you can stand on
- Lancaster — curved with scrollwork, projecting about 250mm on a steel mesh floor
If you want to step out onto it
A Juliet guards an opening; it is not something you stand on. The exceptions are the two curved models above, which give you 250–300mm of mesh floor — enough for a few pots and to clean the windows from.
For something you can properly walk out onto, that is a different product: our walk-out Juliet hangs off the wall and projects up to 1200mm, with a composite deck.
Beyond that it stops being a Juliet at all. A full walk-out balcony is a proper outdoor room — steel joists, composite decking and a balustrade of your choosing, sized to whatever the elevation will take rather than to the door opening. Same fabricators, same certification, considerably more balcony. The whole range is in walkout balconies and Juliets.
Sizing
We sell on the size of your opening, not the size of the balcony. Every one is made 150mm wider than the door opening on each side as standard, so tell us the opening and we will work the rest out. If your size is not in the dropdown, ask — almost everything we make is cut to order anyway.
Compliance
Every balcony we make is UKCA marked to BS EN 1090-2. On structural steelwork that is a legal requirement, and it applies to domestic work as much as commercial — if building control signs your project off, the certification is part of what they sign. It is worth asking about on anything you are quoted, because it is the kind of thing that surfaces late.
Our balconies are made to suit domestic building regulations. Tell us if the project is commercial so we can advise properly.
Real projects
Domestic work: a modern stainless and clear glass Juliet for Steve in Sheffield, a frameless glass system for Jason in Hertfordshire, and a powder coated curved frame for Klaas in Surrey.
Trade and commercial: Juliet balconies and glass balustrades throughout Harborne Central in Birmingham, and a wide-spanning metal and glass Juliet at Hickleton Golf Club, Doncaster. More in our projects.
Choosing a supplier
Four things worth checking on any quote, ours included: whether the balcony is legal and UKCA certified, whether the supplier is reputable, whether the quality stands up, and whether there is a real company behind it. Our comparing like with like page sets out what a cheaper quote usually leaves out.
