Balcony have recently supplied and installed 4 sets of curved sliding doors overlooking the National Trust village of Lacock.

The interesting fact about these doors is that balcony was required to make rails which were over 10 meters in length in one unit so as to maintain a continuous frame around the opening. This required some modification of the standard door system but the results are marvellous.

The curved doors replaced a facetted system originally designed. The curves complement the property and have allowed larger spans of glass than any facetted option could have allowed.

The curved doors were RAL powder coated and the curved glass used was 28mm Low-E double glazing with safety glass on both sides.

Also incorporated into the first floor doors were two sets of curved Juliet Balconies to protect the users from a fall when the doors are open.

The implementation, installation and manipulation of curved balustrades and curved glass requires a higher level of experience and expertise and may require an experienced professional to correctly install the job, wherever possible we recommend that an experienced installer be employed to install curved balustrades.

It is important to note and be prepared for the following when dealing with curved balustrades:
