K-Vantage Juliet Balcony

Introduction
The Juliet Balcony is designed to suite with Kawneer’s Open-In Window and Sliding Door products. It provides a simple, elegant and affordable glazed balcony with a virtually seamless external visual appearance and is ideally suited for domestic, residential, offices and commercial applications (subject to barrier loading conditions).

The balcony is created as part of the ‘window package’ from an optimised number of engineered components, creating a value engineered solution and offering ease of fabrication and installation.

A choice of single or double leaf designs are available to suit specific building requirements and increase the aesthetics of the façade.

The Juliet Balcony is a turnkey solution that completely eliminates the need for additional sub-contractor work as it is totally self-contained and does not interface with any other element of the building structure.
