K-Vantage Juliet Balustrade

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

The balustrade 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.

The Juliet Balustrade 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. Manufactured from aluminium it is mechanically assembled which removes the need for welding and can be manufactured off site.
