WHAT IS A JULIET BALCONY?
LIGHT, AIR, AND ELEGANCE WITHOUT THE EXTENSION
Inspired by the iconic scene from“ Romeo and Juliet”, a Juliet balcony is installed in front of a full-height window or first-floor door. It allows you to stand inside your home as if you were on a balcony, enjoying fresh air and an unobstructed view.
Commonly found in Europe, Juliet balconies are becoming increasingly popular in the UK. You may have heard them referred to as French or faux balconies. At Pure Vista, our system is called ARIA.
Designed for fast, hassle free installation, the ARIA Juliet balcony system uses two slim anodised aluminium channels to secure the glass panel, supported by a solid aluminium block.
Why we love Juliet balconies 1. Improved Light A Juliet balcony is an excellent way to brighten a room. By replacing a standard window with a full length glass door, you allow natural light to pour in throughout the day. The slim, unobtrusive glass barrier ensures nothing blocks the light.
2. Safety The solid glass panel is securely fitted close to your property’ s exterior wall, eliminating gaps and reducing the risk of anything slipping through. The strong and secure ARIA system is tested to 0.74kN, making it suitable for domestic installations.
With a Juliet balcony, you’ re far more inclined to open your doors and invite the outdoors in.
3. Increased Ventilation With a Juliet balcony, you’ re far more inclined to open your doors and invite the outdoors in. That increased airflow helps refresh your living space, improving ventilation and creating a healthier, more uplifting environment.
4. Subtle in Appearance Juliet balcony channels are slimmer than those used in traditional balustrades. They will not be seen from inside the room and are subtle enough to complement any property from the outside. Additionally, they are available in a range of colours.
5. Cost Compared to traditional balconies, Juliet balconies offer a stylish and cost effective alternative. They arrive in one compact package, making installation quicker and more economical for both homeowners and installers. Enjoy the aesthetic and lifestyle benefits of a balcony, without the need for structural extensions.
