Understanding Metal Balcony Options

Juliet Balconies: Elegant Safety Solutions

Juliet balconies provide safety for French doors or floor-to-ceiling windows on upper floors without extending significantly beyond the building’s façade. These space-saving designs offer numerous benefits:

• Enhanced natural light and ventilation through safely openable upper-floor windows
• Architectural interest that breaks up flat building façades
• The sensation of outdoor space without structural projections
• Compliance with building regulations for upper-floor openings
• Potential for decorative elements that enhance period properties

Our bespoke Juliet balconies range from minimalist contemporary designs with clean lines to ornate traditional patterns featuring scrollwork and decorative finials. Each is precision-engineered to provide safety whilst complementing your property’s architectural character.

Walk-On Balconies: Creating Usable Outdoor Space

For properties where genuine outdoor space is desired at upper levels, our walk-on metal balconies provide structurally sound platforms that extend living areas beyond the building envelope. These substantial installations offer:

• True outdoor living space for relaxation or entertaining
• Enhanced property value through additional usable square footage
• Opportunities to enjoy views and outdoor air from upper floors
• Architectural distinction that sets properties apart
• Potential for green space with planters and container gardens

Glass and Metal Combination Balconies

For contemporary properties or those seeking unobstructed views, our glass and metal balconies combine the structural integrity of steel with the visual lightness of glass:

• Maximum light transmission with minimal visual obstruction
• Contemporary aesthetic that complements modern architecture
• Weather protection without compromising on views
• Various glass options including clear, tinted, or frosted panels
• Seamless integration with glass doors and window systems

Traditional Wrought Iron Balconies

For period properties or those seeking classical elegance, our wrought iron balconies showcase traditional craftsmanship with authentic techniques:

• Hand-forged components with genuine character and detail
• Historic designs recreated with meticulous attention to period accuracy
• Ornate scrollwork, finials, and decorative elements
• Traditional joining methods for authentic appearance
• Optional gold leaf or accent highlighting for decorative features

The Craftsmanship Difference in Metal Balconies

Structural Integrity

Safety forms the foundation of every balcony we create. Our approach includes:

• Comprehensive structural calculations to ensure appropriate load-bearing capacity
• Robust fixings that secure the balcony firmly to the building structure
• Strategic reinforcement at key stress points
• Weather-resistant design that prevents water accumulation
• Regular inspection points for ongoing maintenance

Material Selection

The quality of materials directly impacts both appearance and longevity. We use only:

• High-grade structural steel for primary components
• Traditional wrought iron for authentic period features
• Marine-grade stainless steel fixings in exposed locations
• Premium-quality glass from trusted suppliers
• Substrate-appropriate primers and finishes

Precision Manufacturing

Each component of your balcony is fabricated with exacting precision in our workshop:

• Custom jigs for accurate repetition of elements
• Traditional forge work for authentic wrought iron details
• CNC cutting for precision components where appropriate
• Hand finishing of all visible surfaces
• Comprehensive quality control at each production stage

Weather-Resistant Finishes

The British climate presents unique challenges for external metalwork. Our finishing processes include:

• Hot-dip galvanisation for maximum corrosion resistance
• Multi-layer powder coating systems in any RAL colour
• Traditional paint finishes for period-appropriate appearances
• Clear coatings for stainless steel or feature elements
• Weatherproof seals at all joints and interfaces
