The Mirage

The framework features a four-sided box section frame paired with 10mm toughened, heat-soaked glass panels, at 25kg per metre. Each glass panel is securely held in place with silver stainless steel tension clamps. The system is pre-drilled and ready for easy assembly. On either side, there are two vertical fixing plates made from 40 x 8mm flat bar, each with four evenly spaced fixing holes for secure installation.

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 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.

Hot Dip Galvanization and Powder Coating

Our steel products undergo a hot dip galvanization process; this provides the steel with a surface coating that offers long-term protection from rust and corrosion.

Galvanization adds a slight texture to the steel. It is lightly buffed and sanded before the powder coating is undertaken, but it’s impossible to achieve a completely sleek ‘car bonnet’ finish with this process, and you may notice some unevenness under the paint surface. If you are looking for a perfectly smooth finish for your balcony, we would recommend checking out our glass and stainless-steel range instead.
