LIFTS , STAIRS & BALUSTRADES

WHAT IS A JULIET BALCONY ?

Named after the famous scene from Romeo and Juliet , the Juliet Balcony is placed in-front of a window or door . Allowing the window to open fully and transform into a balcony . You might have heard them called French Balconies or Faux Balcony . At Pure Vista , our system is called ARIA .
You can stand inside your home as if on a balcony , letting the fresh air in . Widely used throughout France and Italy , this style of balcony is increasing in popularity here in the UK .
Using two sides of channel which fix onto the wall around the window and a solid glass panel held between them .
WHY WE LOVE JULIET BALCONIES
1 . Improved Light Juliet Balconies are a perfect way to increase light in your room . The use of a full-length glass door massively increases the sunlight pouring into the room , the glass balcony will not obstruct this .
3 . Increased Ventilation With a Juliet Balcony installed , you are more likely to have the door open more often . The flow of fresh air into your home will work wonders !
4 . Subtle in appearance The channel profiles used for a Juliet balcony are thin in comparison to traditional glass balustrade . They will not be seen from inside the room and are subtle enough to suit any property from the outside . They are available in a range of colours .
5 . Cost In comparison to traditional balconies , the Juliet Style is much more cost-effective for installers and homeowners . Supplied in one compact box and delivered to you , you can have a balcony without an extension .

2 . Safety The solid glass panel is installed close to the wall of the house . This significantly reduces the chance of small items falling through a gap . The system is also strong and secure , tested to 0.74kN loading making it suitable for domestic installation .
