Our Portia Juliet balcony system is a framed Juliet balcony and is one of our most popular styles of Juliet balcony.
The glass is framed by a slotted tube which is fixed in each corner of the balcony. It is supplied with a rubber gasket which sits between the tube and the glass. We can supply fixings for the vast majority of surfaces. The glass thickness required is 12mm toughened glass although the system can also accomadate 13.5mm toughened laminate glass (two pieces of 6mm toughened glass bonded together by a 1.5mm interlayer).
As standard, they are supplied in a satin stainless steel outside grade finish. They can be powder coated on request. If your balustrade is being installed near to a swimming pool or a within five miles of the sea, we would recommend that your point fixings are either mirror polished or powder coated to prevent the stainless steel from discolouring and pitting.
