FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • The cost of a bespoke glass balcony varies based on factors such as size, design (framed or frameless), and additional features like handrails. Contact us for a free, tailored quote.

  • Yes, 360 GSS can handle the full project, including the structural framework and decking, ensuring a seamless installation from start to finish.

  • Absolutely. We use toughened & laminated glass that meets all UK safety standards. We also provide both glass & structural reports to verify the security of each installation which is entirely bespoke to your property’s composition.

  • Glass balconies are easy to maintain. We recommend using a non-abrasive glass cleaner and a soft cloth to keep the glass clear and spotless.

  • Handrails can be added in stainless steel, aluminium, or powder-coated finishes, offering a range of styles to suit your balcony’s design.

  • In the UK, planning permission is generally required for glass balconies, as they are not considered permitted development, unlike Juliet balconies that don't create an external platform. When applying, consider the following: ensure the balcony does not invade neighbours' privacy, install railings that are at least 1.1 metres high for safety, and be mindful that a solid floor could reduce light to rooms below or the garden. Permissions may be stricter depending on the local area and surrounding homes, and being the first to add a balcony in your area could complicate approval. Once submitted, local residents have 21 days to comment, with a decision typically made within eight weeks.
