TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Here are technical specifications for the Juliette balconies we manufacture. Included below is the material specification, technical drawings, elevations and sections, structural calculations and other details you may need in relation to our glass Juliette balcony systems.

Balustrade structure:

6063 T5 extruded aluminium profiles

Anodising:

15 micron high-quality anodizing in Matt Bronze, Matt Silver or our proprietary "Royal Chrome" finish.

Powder Coating:

60-100 micron polyester powder coating in white colour. RAL colour options available for large projects only.

Glass:

Orbit, Aerofoil & Mirror - 10mm clear toughened is the standard but laminated and toughened options are available. Tinted or opaque glass options are available.

Frameless: 21.5mm Laminated and toughened glass.

Permitted Loading on Balcony:

Our systems are designed to withstand horizontal imposed load of 0.74 kN/m and all the required loads as specified in BS6180:2011 for domestic and residential activities and areas not susceptible to overcrowding (This includes classes (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (viii) and (ix) of Table 2 on P9 of the standard).

Permitted Loading on the Glass infill:

The glass infill is designed for a uniformly distributed load of 1.0 kN/m2 (220 pounds per square metre approximately) plus a point load of 0.5 kN (110 pounds).

Brackets:

• 6063-T5 Extruded aluminium wall brackets

Gaskets:

EPDM (ethylene-propylene rubber)

LOADING TESTS

Juliette Balcony Systems in the UK must comply with building regulations, BS6180 and the loadings in BS6399.

In addition to calculations, the Juliette Balconies have been load tested by independent engineering companies to physically test the ability of the system to bear the loads.

This includes testing the deflection under maximum load, uniformly distributed loads and point loads.

All of these loads and deflections were tested on the handrails as well as the glass infill panels.

Test results confirm the systems meet and exceed the required criteria.

Juliette Balconies: Structural Calculations

Each of the Four Types of our Glass Juliet Balconies has a relevant Structural Calculation that validates conformity of the parts and the system as a whole to Building Regs and to current British Standards & Eurocodes:

• Orbit Juliet - Calculation - (70mm circular handrail) - Up to 3.4m width)

• Aerofoil Juliet - Calculation - (Aerofoil shaped handrail - up to 4.1m width)

• Orbit Mirror Juliet - Calculation - (70mm circular handrail top and bottom - up to 2.84m width)

• Frameless Juliet - Calculation - (21.5mm Glass without a handrail - up to 3.3m width)
