How much does a Juliet balcony cost?
A Juliet balcony is an elegant addition to any home.
However, as with any property improvement project, you need to know the cost of installing a Juliet balcony to help you set a realistic budget.
What is the average price range for a Juliet balcony?
The average cost of a Juliet balcony can range from a couple of hundred pounds to more than £1,000, depending on the size and type of design that you opt for.
A steel Juliet balcony typically costs between £300 and £600, while an average glass Juliet balcony will set you back a little more at around £500 to £1,000.

Which factors affect the cost of a Juliet balcony?
If you’ve already started browsing Juliet balconies online, you’re probably aware that they come in a huge variety of shapes, sizes, and styles – no one size fits all.
Of course, that also means the cost of buying and installing a Juliet balcony can vary too.
Some of the factors that impact a balcony’s cost include:
- Size: It goes without saying that the larger your balcony is, the more it’s likely to cost. A small Juliet balcony installed outside a full-length window is likely to be significantly cheaper than a wide balcony that spans the length of bi-fold doors or French doors.
- Materials: We supply Juliet balconies made from steel and glass, plus stainless steel and glass balustrades. Glass balconies are typically a little more expensive than steel alternatives.
- Style: Simple-in-style balconies are often cheaper to buy than those with more detailed or decorative features.
- Optional extras: At C&R Direct, we manufacture Juliet balconies to order, allowing you to tailor it to your specific needs. For an additional cost, you can add a coloured powder coating or platform.
How do different materials impact the price of a Juliet balcony?
A steel balcony is a cost-effective and budget-friendly option, and it’s essential to ensure you’re buying a hot dip galvanised balcony to prevent any rust.
All C&R Direct steel balconies are galvanised as standard, and come with a 10-year no-rust guarantee.
You can add powder coating to a steel balcony, and cleaning every few months helps the paint last longer.
Powder coatings are available in various colours, allowing you to pick one that complements your property’s appearance. Powder-coated steel is more durable, but still requires occasional maintenance to extend its lifespan.
Another option is a stainless steel and glass Juliet balcony, which is the most hardwearing option. Given it has a chrome finish, it will never need to be repainted (though is slightly more expensive than a steel alternative).
Made from a 316 marine grade stainless-steel frame and toughened safety glass panes, glass Juliet balconies add a clean, modern, and premium feel to a property.
How much does it cost to install a Juliet balcony?
C&R Direct doesn’t fit the Juliet balconies it supplies. However, all our products are designed for easy installation.
The cost of installing a balcony depends on whether you choose to do it yourself, or hire a builder.
Standard Juliet balcony installations typically cost between £200 and £300.
However, if the installation is more complex, for example if it’s in a loft conversion, requires structural work, or is being installed on an uneven surface, the price will be higher.
Installer rates also vary from one region to another, and you should expect to pay more in London and the south of England than in the north.
