Juliet Balcony in Bristol

Juliet Balcony Bristol

Juliet Balcony in Bristol

The historic city of Bristol not far from the coast of England is home to our latest Juliet Balcony project. Our customer wanted an uninterrupted view across the coastline so Origin recommended our Frameless Skyforce Juliet Balcony.

The Skyforce system is one of the best Juliet Balconies available and uses laminated glass. The system is fixed at the sides so there is no need for a handrail meaning that there is a minimal visual intrusion. The system can be mounted directly onto the window door frame making it an easy DIY job.

Materials used in the creation of the Juliet Balcony

To achieve this Juliet balcony, the customer used 17.5mm of toughed laminated clear glass, and the Skyforce base mounted system and a Skyforce fixing anchor to aluminium/plastic frames. To find out more about the materials used for a Juliet Balcony and how to correctly measure for one check out our FAQ’s.

A further benefit of the Skyforce Balcony is that it only has one profile so powder coating is easily done. The customer told us in early discussions that he did not want to change his colour scheme, so we had the Skyforce brackets powder coated in grey to match the customers existing window frames. As the photographs show matching the colour creates a seamless look that has blended perfectly with the existing frames whilst maintaining the gorgeous ocean views.
