JBRFrameless Glass Juliet Balcony — 35mm Projection
The VisioMod Juliet Balcony is a French balcony safety barrier designed for full-height windows and inward-opening doors where no walkable balcony platform exists. A VSG laminated glass panel — available in 6+6mm, 8+8mm or 10+10mm tempered-and-laminated configurations — sits in a slim 25mm aluminium frame that projects just 35–45mm from the facade face. Side-fix brackets bolt directly into the window reveal or, with thermal-bridge-free versions, through WDVS/ETICS insulation systems up to 200mm thick. The barrier complies with EN 1991-1-1 residential load requirements (1.0 kN/m horizontal) and DIN 18065 fall protection for accessible openings above ground level. Glass widths range from 800mm to 2400mm per single panel; wider openings use two panels with a central slimline mullion post. Standard heights are 900mm and 1100mm. The aluminium frame powder-coats in any RAL colour (TIGER Drylac QUALICOAT Class II) with all fixings concealed behind the profile. The bottom frame includes an integrated drip edge for rainwater management — preventing facade staining over time.

TECHNOLOGY & DETAILSEngineering That Performs.
35–45mm Projection
Ultra-slim profile sits almost flush with the facade — no protruding balcony slab, no structural cantilever required.
WDVS / ETICS Compatible
Thermal-bridge-free bracket system mounts through insulation layers up to 200mm without compromising the building envelope U-value.
VSG Safety Glass
Laminated tempered glass: if fractured, fragments remain bonded to the PVB interlayer — no shards fall to the street. Available clear, tinted, or privacy-frosted.
Concealed Hardware
All bolts and fixings sit inside the aluminium extrusion — zero visible fasteners on the street-facing facade.
Single Panel to 2400mm
No intermediate posts needed up to 2400mm width. Wider openings handled with a slimline 25mm mullion — minimal visual interruption.
Integrated Drip Nose
Bottom frame profile includes a water-shedding drip edge that keeps the facade clean beneath the panel.

APPLICATIONSWhere It Works.
Juliet balconies are specified wherever building regulations require fall protection at full-height windows — typically windows where the sill height is below 900mm…
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSCommon Questions.
A Juliet balcony (or French balcony) is a fall-protection barrier mounted directly to the building facade in front of a full-height window or door. There is no external walkable platform — it is a safety barrier only.
EN 1991-1-1 residential barrier load: 1.0 kN/m applied horizontally at the top rail. This covers a person leaning against the glass or moderate wind pressure.
Yes. Thermal-bridge-free brackets pierce the insulation with minimal contact area. Available for insulation thicknesses up to 200mm. Installation does not compromise the facade's thermal performance.
VSG 6+6mm (standard residential), VSG 8+8mm (higher load or wide panels), VSG 10+10mm (commercial grade). Clear, low-iron clear, tinted (grey, bronze), or privacy-frosted.
In most German Bundesländer, installing a Juliet balcony on an existing window does not require a building permit as it is classified as a facade element rather than structural alteration. However, regulations vary — your PONARC dealer can provide the necessary structural documentation.
2400mm single panel without intermediate post. Wider openings up to 4800mm use two panels with a 25mm central mullion.
