Frameless Juliet Balconies

The Glass Balustrade Company designs, supplies and installs complete frameless Juliet systems across the UK, from first enquiry through to final fix.
- Side-fix glass adaptors, either 4 or 6 total
- Clear, tinted or opaque laminated glass

Why choose a frameless Juliet balcony
Frameless Juliet balconies protect low window openings while keeping rooms bright and open. Glass runs clear across the opening so you avoid vertical posts or heavy frames.
- Uninterrupted glass for a clean look inside and out
- Openings typically up to around 2.3 m in one piece
- Low maintenance materials with simple cleaning
- Systems designed to meet BS 6180:2011
Types of frameless Juliet balcony systems
Most projects use one of our core frameless Juliet balcony layouts. We size glass thickness, adaptor spacing and fixings to suit your opening and structure.
Standard frameless Juliet balcony
Side-fix glass adaptors support a single laminated glass panel that overlaps the opening. Ideal for French doors and full-height windows.
- Strong laminated glass
- 50 mm diameter stainless adaptors
- Square or rectangular panel shapes
- Optional slim edge protection strip
Podium / cut-out Juliet designs
Glass shaped around window boards or brickwork. Used when the frameless Juliet balcony needs to sit below a cill or across mixed openings.
- Cut-outs around cills or trims
- Careful edge detailing and finishing
- Designed to keep the opening usable
- CAD drawings provided before manufacture
Other Juliet options
If your opening is wider than our frameless limits, we will usually suggest one of our alternative Juliet systems.
- Two-railed Juliet balconies for openings up to around 4 m
- Track-fix Juliet balconies for long runs
- Advice on the best system for your structure
Standard frameless Juliet balcony
Our standard frameless Juliet balcony uses a laminated glass panel supported on stainless steel side-fix adaptors. This keeps the view clear with minimal visible hardware.
Key details
- Laminated glass with polished edges
- Radiused or dubbed corners for safer handling
- Glass sized to span and loading requirements
- Typically suits openings up to around 2.3 m
- Available supply only or with installation
Glass adaptors and fixings
We use circular 316 grade stainless steel glass adaptors, usually 50 mm diameter, with concealed fixings into the structure. Satin finishes hide fingerprints and marks and clean down quickly.
Our technical team checks wall build-up and recommends fixing details. Solid concrete, steel or suitable engineered timbers are usually required.
Handrails, edge strips and glass options
You can keep the frameless Juliet balcony with just glass, or add a slim handrail or edge strip for extra protection and a defined top line.
Handrails and edge protection
- Stainless steel circular handrails in 316 grade
- Timber handrails made by joiners on request
- Metal edge protection strips for glass-only layouts
- All metalwork can be powder coated to any RAL
Glass choices
Glass is available as clear or low-iron for higher clarity, and in tinted or obscure finishes for privacy. Toughened laminated make-ups are selected to suit span and fixing layout.
We can shape glass around reveals and trims as long as BS 6180 requirements are met.

Our process for frameless Juliet balcony projects
Each frameless Juliet balcony is checked by our team so glass make-up and fixings suit your structure and use.
Survey and advice
We review drawings or carry out a site survey. We look at opening width, floor levels and wall construction so we can confirm fixing options.
Design and CAD
CAD drawings set glass size, adaptor positions and any cut-outs. We confirm heights to meet BS 6180 and local building control expectations.
Manufacture
Glass is manufactured to size with polished edges and laminate build-up. Stainless steel or powder coated components are prepared to suit.
Installation or supply only
Our fitters can install nationwide, or we can supply only with drawings and fixing guidance for your builder or installer.
