A glass balcony is the most practical way to make your balcony usable all year round. But to choose the right system, there are a few things to keep in mind.
1. Double or single glazing?
If you plan to use your balcony as a sitting area in winter, choose a double-glazed system. If you only want protection from wind and rain, single glazing is enough.
2. Glass quality
Tempered safety glass is a must. If it breaks, it shatters into small, blunt fragments.
3. Track and bearing system
A quality bearing and aluminium track system is essential for the panels to glide smoothly for years.
4. Management approval
In apartment buildings and residential complexes, approval from the building management may be needed due to the facade’s appearance.
5. Installation and waterproofing
Even the best system won’t perform well if it’s installed poorly. Work with an experienced team that pays attention to drainage and sealing details.
