JULIET BALCONY DESIGN, SUPPLY & INSTALLATION
DEFINING THE JULIET BALCONY
A Juliet balcony is a shallow balcony, also known as a balconette, that consists of a protective barrier attached directly to the building's exterior, allowing full-width doorways or windows to open up safely, 360 GSS have seen a rise in the demand for a Juliet balcony as more and more homes have wide span bifold doors installed. Although a Juliet balcony doesn’t provide a walk-out platform, distinguishing it from standard balconies, it has its own benefits that allow homeowners to enjoy fresh air and breath-taking views while enjoying a coffee in bed.
ADVANTAGES OF INSTALLING A JULIET BALCONY
Juliet balconies are celebrated for several key advantages:
Enhanced Natural Light and Ventilation: By facilitating larger openings, they invite an abundance of natural light and promote cross-ventilation, significantly improving the indoor environment.
Space Conservation: Ideal for urban buildings with limited outdoor space, Juliet balconies offer the illusion of openness without the structural bulk of traditional balconies.
Architectural Aesthetic: They contribute a sophisticated visual element to the facade, enriching the building's overall architectural expression.
Versatility in Design: Juliet balconies can be tailored to complement any architectural style, from the minimalist to the ornate.

In the UK, Juliet balconies generally do not require planning permission as they do not extend the building's footprint. However, compliance with specific building regulations, such as safety standards and material specifications, is mandatory. 360 GSS navigates these regulations with expert precision, ensuring every installation adheres to the highest legal and safety standards.
