Balcony Glazing - Improving Balcony Space and Building Facade

Description

Balcony Façade Design with Glazing: Enhancing Space, Safety and Sustainability

This CPD explores how glazed balcony systems can be integrated into contemporary balcony façade design, offering architects smart solutions for both new-build and refurbishment projects.

You will learn how glazed balconies — often referred to as wintergardens — can:

• Provide additional usable living space
• Improve acoustic and thermal performance
• Reduce building maintenance requirements
• Add architectural value and visual coherence
• Contribute to fire safety compliance with tested and certified systems

Real-life case studies illustrate the design possibilities and technical performance of glazed balconies used as fully integrated façade elements, transforming the way outdoor space is perceived and used year-round.
