What is a walk-out glass balcony?
A walk-out glass balcony is an accessible outdoor platform connected to an upper floor of a building. It provides usable external space and can incorporate frameless or steel post glass balustrades, depending on the design.
Do walk-out balconies require structural calculations?
Yes, structural calculations are normally required to establish the appropriate loading, supporting structure, connections and foundations. These calculations also help demonstrate compliance with applicable Building Regulations.
Can you provide the structural steelwork?
Yes. 360 GSS provides bespoke structural steel fabrication for balcony frames, columns, supports and associated components, alongside engineering support where required.
What type of glass is used for walk-out balconies?
Glass specifications depend on the balcony design and structural requirements. We commonly use toughened laminated safety glass, with options including low-iron and privacy glazing where suitable.
Do I need planning permission for a walk-out balcony?
External walk-out balconies will generally require planning permission in England, although requirements depend on the property and proposed development. You should confirm the applicable permissions with your local planning authority before proceeding.
How much does a walk-out glass balcony cost?
Costs depend on the balcony’s size, structural support requirements, glazing, finishes and installation complexity. We provide bespoke quotations based on the requirements of each project.
Can a walk-out balcony be added to an existing property?
Yes, subject to structural suitability and any necessary approvals. Depending on the building, the design may incorporate steel-supported, cantilevered or freestanding structures.
How long does a walk-out balcony take to install?
Timescales vary depending on the design, structural engineering, fabrication and site conditions. Once the components are manufactured and the site is ready, installation may take only a few days, although more complex projects can take longer.
