Glass Balconies Are Making a Comeback – Fire-Rated and Architecturally Stunning.

At Wiltech Engineering, we’ve long recognised the appeal of frameless and semi-frameless glass balconies — a solution that enhances light, space, and architectural clarity. Today, with updated guidance under BS EN 13501-1 and modern materials meeting UK Building Safety and BSR Gateway requirements, these designs are making a confident return to residential and mixed-use developments.

Our new-generation glass balcony systems are fully compliant, fire-rated, and engineered for durability and structural integrity. Whether used as standalone features or integrated into larger façade schemes, they offer a refined, low-maintenance solution that meets both aesthetic expectations and technical standards.

This evolution in balcony design isn’t just about looks — it’s about delivering compliance, performance, and precision in equal measure. By specifying non-combustible glass, tested coatings, and structurally secure fixing systems, we help developers and architects reintroduce glass balconies without compromise.

As fabrication specialists, we design each system with installation efficiency, modular consistency, and regulatory clarity in mind — ensuring seamless delivery from concept to site. The result? A balcony solution that brings architectural transparency back into focus — safely, reliably, and with long-term value built in.
