The Juliet Balcony 

 The Juliet Balcony, also known as the Balconet or the French Balcony is in fact, not actually a balcony. The Juliet Balcony is a false balcony, a railing located outside the window that reaches the bottom of the window on the outside wall. When the window is open, it gives the false impression of a small balcony. 

This style of window design is steeped in the imagery of love and classic style, and of course, the reason for their being named the Juliet Balcony is for that famous scene in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet when love was professed from a balcony window. The Juliet Balcony Design has long since been a favourite in Europe and is fast gaining popularity in the UK. 

 There are a plethora of choices for a Juliet Balcony Design. Instead of an open window, opt for a pair of French doors with a steel-framed Juliet Balcony, allowing for more light to be let into the room. This idea can add an accent of class and sophistication to any space, as well as truly open up space on an upper floor to allow a fresh circulation of air in spaces that don’t always get the best flow of air.  

The Juliet Balcony Design can often be installed easily and can be purchased as a kit to be installed by yourself. Some glass designs even include a choice of different tints of colour or sleek stainless steel rods that gives a modern appeal to the room.
