The 10mm toughened glass panels provide unobstructed views while ensuring safety and strength. The Franklyn is an ideal choice for those seeking a modern aesthetic that blends seamlessly with any property.
Franklyn starts at £0.50/mm up to 3000mm and £0.69/mm for anything over.

If you need a balcony wider than 3000mm, we can absolutely provide that – just give us a call. Not 100% sure on your requirements? We’re happy to help!
The design features two stainless steel rails positioned at the top and bottom of the glass panels, which are securely fixed in place using stainless steel tension clamps. The system is pre-drilled, ensuring straightforward assembly.
We offer two bracket options to suit different preferences:
- Double Loop Round Bracket: A 120mm circular fixing plate, as shown in Image 1, ideal for a bold, decorative finish.
- Single Loop Rectangular Bracket: A slim 40x8mm bracket, as seen in Image 2, perfect for a minimalist look or where space is limited.
Confirm which bracket option you have chosen in your order note during checkout.
This versatility allows you to choose the option that best compliments your space.
For Franklyn Balconies exceeding 3.3m, we provide a custom-engineered bracket featuring a larger rectangular fixing plate paired with a double loop system to ensure enhanced strength and stability. Reach out to us for more details or to discuss your specific requirements.
Dimensions
All our balconies are designed to a standard height of 1100mm and feature gaps no larger than 100mm anywhere in the structure, ensuring full compliance with building regulations.
(please note 1100mm from floor level is the minimum height your balcony needs to be for compliance with UK Building Regulations)
We can manufacture to the exact width you require, up to any size. Please call us if you want to discuss the sizing in more detail before you place an order. As a guideline, we recommend adding 300mm to the width of the window or opening.
Glass information
We use 10mm (For Hilton: We use 17.5mm and 21.5mm) Toughened Safety Glass which is up to five times stronger than standard, non-toughened glass. Its enhanced strength makes it ideal for Juliet balcony designs, allowing more light into your space without compromising on safety. All of our toughened safety glass meets European Safety Standards, and we can provide a certificate of conformity upon request.
This glass is created through a specialized process, where edge-worked panels are subjected to intense heating and rapid cooling, resulting in its superior durability. In the unlikely event of breakage, it shatters into small square fragments to minimize the risk of injury. Toughened safety glass is commonly used in buildings for unframed assemblies (such as balustrades), structurally loaded applications, and other areas where safety is paramount in the event of human impact.
Finish and Colour Options
As standard this product comes in a chrome stainless steel metal finish, with no paint or powder coating.
