Balconies
Glass guards for balconies on houses and condos, Juliet balconies, and replacement glass for the balcony you have.
Glass held in an aluminium channel fixed to the face of the balcony slab. Nothing stands on the floor, so the full depth of the balcony stays usable.
The channel is set into the slab, so the glass rises straight out of the floor with no hardware in sight. Best planned before the slab is poured or the floor is finished.
A single glass guard across a door or window that opens above the ground, fixed to the wall on each side. Open the doors for air, with no balcony needed.
Broken balcony glass replaced panel by panel, or an aluminium picket railing converted to glass in the same frame. For houses, and for condos through the property manager.
Most balconies are more than 1800 mm (5′ 10 7/8″) above the ground, so the guard is at least 1070 mm (42 1/8″) high. We confirm the height at the measure.
On condo and apartment buildings, the glass is selected and designed to the Building Code standard for glass in guards, SB-13.
For a straight balcony, the run layout shows the panels it takes.

Yes. We replace broken balcony glass panel by panel, matched to the existing system. In a condo, start with your property manager: we work through them.
Often, yes. The pickets come out and glass goes into the same frame. The first step is a free measure and a look at the railing.

Most balconies are more than 1800 mm (5′ 10 7/8″) above the ground, so the guard is at least 1070 mm (42 1/8″) high. At a house, a balcony no more than 1800 mm up can have a 900 mm (35 7/16″) guard. We confirm the height at the measure.
On condo and apartment buildings, SB-13, the Building Code standard for glass in guards, sets the glass by how close it sits to the slab edge. At the edge or within 50 mm (1 15/16″) of it, the glass is heat-strengthened laminated. Further in, it can be heat-strengthened laminated or heat-soaked tempered.
Before the slab is poured or the floor is finished, because the channel is set into the slab. For a new build or a full renovation, send the drawings early.
No. The channel is fixed to the face of the slab and nothing stands on the floor, so the full depth of the balcony stays usable.
