Frequently asked questions
What is a Juliet balcony?
Guarding fixed across a full-height opening, such as French doors, with no platform to step out onto. It must meet Approved Document K and BS 6180.
What fire rules apply to balconies on residential buildings?
On relevant buildings with a storey 18 m or more above ground, Regulation 7(2) requires balcony materials to be Class A1 or A2-s1,d0, subject to listed exemptions. The design team and fire engineer confirm the requirements for each scheme.
Can balconies be added to an existing building?
Often, yes, subject to planning, structural checks and Building Regulations approval. Bolt-on balconies with their own support are usually the most practical option.
