Many buildings, both commercial and private, have balconies with gratings. Our PcP gratings are perfect for balconies, where they provide safe and reliable protection at heights.
A Juliet balcony is a very shallow balcony, and typically seen in residential blocks of flats where French windows have been incorporated to allow a greater influx of light and more fresh air. In some cases, the balcony may even be wide enough for a small chair/table etc. Slightly larger Juliet balconies are just big enough to accommodate potted plants or flowers. However, all small balconies require at least a floor and barrier protection which should be non-combustible, robust, maintenance-free and aesthetic.
For small balconies, our PcP MESH gratings offer safe, robust and maintenance-free protection. We can supply tailormade gratings for barrier protection in a range of materials.
A standard balcony is a projected platform on the outside of a building which is suitable for single individuals and large gatherings. The flooring should allow drainage, but should not be so open that falling objects cause damage or injury to others. Also, the flooring may need to restrict viewing from below for the sake of privacy.
The priority for the perimeter on such balconies is to provide protection, but combined with high light penetration. For this purpose, both glass and mesh gratings are used extensively owing to the inherent properties of the materials.
