Paris balconies enhance urban spaces
Connecting indoor and outdoor spaces seamlessly is said to have become a crucial requirement of modern architecture.
The Paris Balcony system by CRL is designed not only to enhance natural light but also to prioritise safety and enhance aesthetic appeal.
At the heart of the Paris Balcony system is its frameless design, which creates a sleek and streamlined finish. Suitable for use with toughened laminated glass in thicknesses of 13.52mm, 17.52mm, and 21.52mm, the system is said to offer ‘unparalleled’ clarity and durability. The 1,200mm long profiles can be seamlessly integrated into various architectural structures, whether face fixed or reveal fixed to brickwork, concrete, or steel.
Options are available in both grey and white finishes. The system is also tested to comply with stringent building and safety regulations, including BS6180:2011.
Unlike traditional balcony designs that rely on railings, the Paris Balcony system opts for a minimalist approach, designed to offer an uninterrupted view while ensuring the utmost security.
With no top cap rail required, the toughened laminated glass provides an additional layer of protection, assuring peace of mind for inhabitants.
Two recent installations by Bespoke Glass Services highlight the versatility and efficiency of the CRL Paris Balcony system. In the picturesque setting of Upper Cumberworth, a large barn conversion was fitted with two Paris Balconies, chosen for their minimalist design and integration with existing aesthetics.
Similarly, in Lower Cumberworth, a large semi-detached house used the Paris Balcony system to maintain uninterrupted rural views. Opting for a white finish ensured a cohesive look with the PVC windows, while the smooth reveal facilitated a hassle-free installation process.
In both instances, the CRL Paris Balcony system is said to have exceeded expectations, delivering not only on functionality but also on ease of installation. Compared to traditional methods involving point fixings, the Paris Balcony system offered a straightforward and swift installation process.
