Walkout Balcony & Juliet Combo in Hull

⚓️ Hull Project: Combining Juliet and Walkout Balconies for Elevated Outdoor Living

We recently completed a fantastic project for our client, Phil, in Hull, demonstrating how two distinct balustrade systems can be combined seamlessly to enhance a property's utility and appearance. The project involved the design, supply, and installation of a Juliet Balcony and a large Walkout Balcony to service two separate sets of French doors, resulting in a significantly enlarged, useable outdoor space.

1. The Juliet Balcony: Seamless Safety

To the first set of French doors, we installed a minimalist Stainless Steel and Glass Juliet Balcony. This system provides a compliant barrier and maintains an uninterrupted view, perfectly framing the large glass doors.

2. The Walkout Balcony: Elevated Patio Area

The adjacent set of French doors was upgraded with a full Walkout Balcony system, transforming the upper level into a large, elevated patio area.

• Structural Base: The core structure is a robust galvanized steel frame, treated with a durable white powder-coated finish. This dual protection ensures maximum longevity and weather resistance.

• Decking: The floor surface features modern composite decking, which was installed onto the steel joists. Composite decking is an excellent choice for balconies due to its low maintenance, durability, fire resistance and non-slip properties.

• Balustrade: To ensure a coordinated look across the entire property, the walkout balcony was finished with matching Stainless Steel and Glass Balustrades, mirroring the design of the Juliet balcony installed nearby.

The All-Weather Solution: Underdrawing & Drip Trays

A key component of this walkout balcony was the inclusion of a full underside system:

• Aluminum Drip Trays: We installed powder-coated white aluminum drip trays beneath the decking structure.

• Year-Round Usability: These trays are engineered to collect and divert rainwater away from the area beneath the balcony. This effectively waterproofs the lower level, making the ground area below dry and usable throughout the year, functioning as a permanent canopy.

The finished installation gives Phil a cohesive, high-specification outdoor living solution that maximizes both the upper and lower garden spaces.
