What is a juliet balcony?
Juliet balconies enable upper floor living spaces to benefit from full height openable doors. They safely allow fresh air into the room, and enhance the feeling of openness, whilst ensuring building regulation compliance.
What is the point of a juliet balcony?
Juliet’s are designed to let in more light, by replacing a window with a full length door and a safety guard (or juliet balcony). Very common in European cities, they have become popular in the UK for their ability to brighten upper floor spaces in your home by allowing in more natural light.
Why is it called a juliet balcony?
The name hails from the famous William Shakespeare play ‘Romeo and Juliet’ where Juliet stands on her balcony looking down at Romeo as he calls to her. Very romantic!
Do I need planning permission for a juliet balcony?
Juliet balconies are generally exempt from planning permission requirements because they are typically flush with the building and do not extend beyond the exterior wall, however you should enquire with your local council if you are unsure. Some local authorities have special rules for buildings within designated conservation areas. If you choose a balcony with a small platform, planning permission may be required as this greater depth can result in an obstruction to the line of sight and affect the neighbours’ privacy.
How do I fix a balcony to a rough/uneven surface?
Your balcony will fit where it touches and follow a slightly uneven profile. Another option is packing or custom fixing tabs- if you’re unsure give us a call
I have a protruding cill can I still have a balcony?
In most cases there is a solution to protruding features on or around the opening that your balcony is going to fix to such as over-size window sills, drain pipes, cables or stonework that might clash with the balcony frame. It’s important that you let us know about them before ordering as a custom design may be needed.
How do I fix a balcony to a rendered wall?
Your balcony must have a solid fix to the building, where possible, it is best to fit your balcony first before you render. If that’s not possible you can push the plastic plug below the render so it’s going to be level with the blockwork underneath, you may need a longer fixing in this instance- if you’re unsure, give us a call.
