Juliet balconies provide fall protection for upper-floor doors and large window openings while maintaining light, views and a clean architectural appearance. Explore frameless and framed Juliet balcony systems designed for modern homes, renovations and new-build projects.
A Juliet balcony is a guarding system installed in front of upper-floor doors or large window openings. Unlike a full balcony, it does not project outward as a usable platform. Instead, it provides safety protection while allowing full-height openings, clear views and more natural light.
Glass Juliet balconies are especially popular on modern homes because they create a lighter, cleaner appearance than traditional metal railings. They are commonly used on French doors, bedroom openings and first-floor window areas.

Juliet balconies installed to protect a fall should normally be positioned so the top of the guarding is at least 1100mm above finished floor level. The correct glass type and thickness will depend on the fixing method and overall width of the opening.
Laminated glass is commonly used for frameless Juliet balcony systems because it remains in place if broken. Wider openings typically require thicker laminated glass.
Measure the structural opening width first. The final glass size can vary depending on the system and fixing arrangement.
