In modern single-family and multi-family buildings, large windows installed from the floor level are often used. This allows the room to be illuminated and gives the effect of a larger space. For such solutions, we have designed the QUASPE Juliet balcony balustrade system. It consists of posts measuring 60×35 mm, a handrail and a glass profile in which the infill is mounted. The versatility of the solution means that the infill can also be made of aluminium profiles. An additional advantage is the possibility of installation in two variants: between insulating glyphs or in front of the facade, which allows installation regardless of the construction stage.
Safe use
At QUASPE, we make sure that each product we offer complies with applicable standards and regulations. We approach each order individually, making calculations that determine the mounting details, such as: spacing of posts. We take into account not only the loads resulting from the loads imposed by users, but also the forces of nature such as wind. We make sure that, in accordance with the technical conditions that buildings and their location should meet, we maintain the required balustrade heights and do not exceed the maximum clearances between the infill elements.
Information on the technical conditions that balustrades must meet:
The balustrade structure consists of aluminium profiles. When designing our solution, we placed particular emphasis on aesthetics, reducing the number of visible connections to a minimum. The possibility of prefabricating ready-made profiles allows you to reduce the time required for installation.
Post – a versatile solution regardless of the chosen installation method. Massive and designed in such a way that it is resistant to the forces in critical places.
Handrail – system profile with a width of approximately 70 or 90 mm, depending on the selected variant.
"H" / "J" profile – lower profiles in which the infill is placed. Used alternately depending on the selected solution.
Baluster – a system solution with dimensions of 20×38 mm allowing for infill in a vertical orientation.
All aluminium profiles are powder-coated in any colour from the RAL palette, obtaining various surface finishes. Thanks to their resistance to changing weather conditions and mechanical damage, they retain their appearance for a very long time. Aluminium and glass balustrades are one of the leading products in our offer.
Glass – the most popular infill used in balustrades. A wide range of colours and the option to choose translucency make selection easy and allow universal use. The thickness and type of glass are selected depending on the balustrade type.
Aluminium profiles – the infill may be made from our 20 × 38 mm system profiles for balustrades with balusters installed vertically, or from standard aluminium profiles, such as 20 × 20 × 2 mm rectangular tube, when the profiles are to be installed horizontally.
There are two installation variants of QUASPE Juliet balcony balustrades. The first is installation in a window reveal, which allows you to create a balustrade that does not extend beyond the face of the building. This is a very aesthetic solution because the fasteners are almost invisible. Please remember that it is necessary to plan such an installation before the façade is constructed. The fasteners attached to the wall are covered with a layer of insulation at a later stage. The second way is to install it on the façade. It can be performed even when the façade is already finished. Anchoring to the wall is done through the insulation layer using a spacer sleeve.
Installing Juliet balcony balustrades directly to the window frame does not guarantee sufficient strength and may result in the loss of the manufacturer's warranty on the installed windows. The advantage of our solutions is the versatility of the mountings, thanks to which they do not require installation to the window frame.
