Juliet balcony doors
Sometimes specified where a full, walk-on balcony isn’t practical for design or budgetary reasons, Juliet balconies offers an effective way to create an open, outdoor feel to an indoor space on upper floors of a building. Suitable for a variety of homes, a Juliet balcony is essentially a balustrade fitted to the exterior of an indoor opening large window or French door.
VELFAC Inward opening French doors
The VELFAC In System consists of inward opening windows and tilt and turn casement doors in wood/aluminium. Designed for multi-storey buildings, where they offer effective ventilation with a specially designed tilt function, VELFAC in windows and doors are the perfect choice for juliet balcony doors.
If you have a Juliet balcony then the inward opening Tilt & Turn door is the perfect choice. This design provides ventilation when tilted and easy access to a roof terrace for instance, when turned using the side hinges.
The turn and tilt juliet balcony doors can be supplied as single or double inward opening french doors, and are designed for use where space is limited. The sash is operated by a single handle which incorporates two functions: inward opening to 90˚, for safe cleaning; inward tilting, from the threshold, to create an overhead ventilation gap. The threshold is supplied as mahogany for additional durability.
What is a Juliet balcony?
Juliet balconies are a decorative architectural feature for both modern and traditional properties. Commonly used in the Mediterranean area, Juliet balconies got their name from the famous scene in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.
Sometimes referred to as French balcony and balconette, the term Juliet Balcony in simplicity is a guarding or barrier placed on the outside of fully glazed French doors that are installed on the first or higher floors, that do not lead to a balcony.
The modern house build utilises full height windows and doors in the creation of a larger "virtual space" in a small environment, like on upper floor living spaces or loft conversions. This creates an extension of the outside visibility and enlarges the viewpoint from the inside by giving a downward view from further away.
What door design works best as a juliet balcony door?
French doors are the most popular door choice for a modern Juliet balcony design. As Juliette balconies are extremely shallow, inward opening doors or windows should always be used so they are not blocked by the balustrade.
Sliding doors can also be specified as Juliet balcony doors. Although this combination isn’t as popular, it is the perfect choice for an oversized glazing look.
What balustrade can be used in a juliet balcony?
Balustrade are available in a wide array of styles and aesthetics, ranging from highly decorative Victorian metal to frameless glass balustrade.
