Installing Juliet Balconies

When requesting a quote / ordering

We are always being asked:

  • How do I measure the opening for a Juliet Balcony?
  • On the day of installation what requirements/access will Sunrock need

Image A shows where to measure on your window opening – it is the distance shown by the green bar, from wall to wall.

Installation guidelines

On the day of installation, we will require you to meet with the engineers and provide access to the house and a power supply.
For installation, we will require an area the size shown in picture B to position lifting equipment. This area must be clear, level hard ground, while central to the juliet being installed.

In addition, we will require clear access to a suitable parking space for the safe movement of the glass.
If you have any concerns regading any of this information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Infinity Glass Balustrades for Parapet Walls

Glass Balustrades for Parapet Walls

The Infinity Glass UP

Sunrock are introducing the ‘Infinity Glass Up’– a new Glass Railing System specifically for topping low parapet walls. Therefore providing unobstructed views from patios, terraces and balconies with a minimal base giving maximum viewing.

The Infinity Glass Up base that holds the glass is only 80 mm high, and can accommodate glass up to 800 mm tall. As a result, this makes it very unobtrusive, as a way of fixing infinity glass balustrades on parapet walls.

The almost invisible base shoe creates an effect that is airy and light, although the glass railing system is actually extremely robust. It can resist linear line loads of up to 0.74 kN/m and has approval according to BS 6180.

Easy Installation

The design of Infinity Glass Up makes it a straightforward installation. The lightweight base profile is easy to position, and Q-railing’s ingenious Safety Wedge system makes for rapid mounting of the glass balustrades. In fact, we can carry out the entire installation process from inside the parapet – no scaffolding required!

The Infinity Glass Up includes the top-mount base shoe, matching end caps, and rubber sets for different glass thicknesses. Sunrock will install your glass railing project with ease – with suitable anchors for fixing, glass panels and if desired a U-profile caprail for a refined top finish. The base is currently powder coated to RAL9006 (white aluminium effect) so no additional cladding is required.

Ullswater Boathouse Balcony update with Sunrock Infinity Glass Balustrades

Ullswater Boathouse Balcony update with Sunrock Infinity Glass Balustrades

On Ullswater, in the Lake District, Sunrock Balconies install Infinity Glass Balustrades on the balcony of a stunning stone Boathouse.  The balcony sits directly above the water and the boathouse actually stands in the lake.

Due to the challenge of the existing decking being so high we use 21.5mm rather than 17.5mm laminate toughened glass. Like all glass from Sunrock, it has a 10 year guarantee.

existing balcony decking sitting above frame

The update to the Boathouse balcony gives the occupants amazing views over Ullswater. This is because the infinity glass balustrades are completely frameless, beautifully engineered and ultra-modern.  As a result, they deliver a feeling of space, while at the same time providing a safety barrier compliant with regulations.

Furthermore from inside the Boathouse the view is just as good!

In order to make the glass balustrade fit snuggly under the eaves of the boathouse roof, it is cut to fit.
