What is the point of a Juliet balcony?

If you are reading this page, then you are probably wondering what is the point of a Juliet balcony. For those of you who have already read ‘What is a Juliet balcony?’, you will know that this building extension provides adequate protection against accidental falls which is the main reason for them to be installed on multi-story buildings. But a Juliet Balcony can provide so much more than just safety. 

The values of a Juliet balcony

Accessibility

You may not be able to place a table or chair within this space, but that does not mean you cannot enjoy the natural warming sunlight and fresh air from inside your home. With this balcony installed just outside a couple of french doors, you need only turn the handle open and take a single step.

Low maintain

A Juliet balcony typically uses only one or a few glass panels with a collection of components based on the size and design. With this and the fact that they do not require too much additional space, they are easy to maintain and clean.

Affordability

Juliet Balconies are cheaper to install than traditional large balconies as they require significantly fewer building materials and equipment. With less space to cover, there is no need to purchase multiple glass panels and components. In addition, its low maintenance qualities save money on cleaning products. 

Easy Installation

If you have read ‘What types of Juliet Balconies are available?’, then  you will know how easy and convenient it is to install a Juliet Balcony. At Juliet balcony, we supply many types to choose from such as Skyforce, Ariel, Othello, Portia and Antonio. Whichever one you chose, you will find them quick and simple to install. 

Leisure time

One of the key benefits of a Juliet balcony is the ability to stand beside your french doors, rest your arms upon the post and enjoy the welcoming weather during your time away from the stress of the day.

Space

Despite not being as big as a ‘walk-on’ balcony, a Juliet balcony still provides more space which opens up your chosen room up for more guests. This extra space also makes great storage for bicycles, which is common amongst Juliet balcony owners. 

Safety

As previously mentioned, Juliet balconies provide an added level of security to prevent accidental falls which makes them a particularly convenient option for high buildings. If you are looking for a balcony with this quality then we strongly recommend looking at our very popular Skyforce system.
