Glass balcony price calculator

It depends on your building. A glass balcony may be subject to your building’s management plan and a decision of the owners’ board; some complexes prescribe profile colour and system type to keep the facade uniform. We recommend checking your management plan and talking to your building manager before installation. During the survey we can prepare technical details and visuals you can present to the management. For a legal assessment, please consult a professional.

Standard single-glazed systems block wind, rain and dust and make the balcony usable in shoulder seasons, but they do not provide true thermal insulation. If you need real insulation, choose a double-glazed glass balcony: the air or gas gap between the panes and an optional Low-E coating significantly reduce heat loss. Seal and gasket quality and installation workmanship also have a direct effect on the result.

A folding system stacks all panes to one side and opens the balcony almost completely in summer, ideal if you want a wide opening. A sliding system moves panes over each other on tracks; it is more economical and practical on narrow balconies, but part of the opening always stays glazed. Balcony size, how you use the space and your budget decide. See our folding or sliding article for a detailed comparison.

After measurement, the profiles and glass are made to your dimensions; production usually takes 7–15 business days depending on the system and glass type. Installation on a standard apartment balcony is mostly completed in one day. Corner or very wide balconies, double-glazed systems and high floors requiring scaffolding can take longer. On installation day our team protects the work area and cleans up afterwards.

A guillotine system opens panes vertically, usually with a motor. It suits large terraces, restaurants, cafés and homeowners who want an uninterrupted view, as there are no vertical sash profiles in the line of sight. It can be operated by remote control or integrated with smart home systems. The load-bearing capacity of the ceiling and floor must be checked during the survey.

We accept cash, bank transfer/EFT and credit card. Credit card instalment options depend on your bank; we will tell you the current options at the quote stage. For insured glass replacements you pay nothing for the amount covered by the insurer; you only pay an excess if your policy has one.

Estimates shown by the price calculator on our site include VAT. The written quote you receive after the survey states the VAT status and every line item separately. The calculator gives an estimated range only; factors such as floor height, number of corners, profile colour and scaffolding determine the final price.

For made-to-measure work such as glass balconies, winter gardens and pergolas, part of the total is taken as a deposit when the quote is approved so production can start; the balance is paid when installation is complete. The deposit rate and payment plan are stated clearly in the written quote and agreement. No deposit is taken for car glass work; payment is made when the job is done.
