Transparency and security at its best: French balcony made of glass

In modern houses and residential areas, large, room-high glass facades and tilt-turn doors not only maximize the amount of light and wide views to the outside, but also provide pleasant ventilation. Even on the upper floors. If there is no balcony with cantilever in the facade here, a French balcony can provide optimum security. Lyon hereby combines the best of both worlds. The innovative French balcony system from Bohle Benelux BV has a transparent glass filling, which guarantees maximum visibility and optimal safety, even with large widths. Glass widths up to 4,000 mm are no problem at all!

Thanks to the patented 1-2-3 click system, assembly is also extremely easy, says Frank Bouwman, General Manager of Bohle Benelux BV. "Special tools are not required. Installation can be carried out either from the front or inside the facade. Moreover, combinations of both variants are possible." 

With that, there are no limits to the application. "Even those who want to mount Lyon directly on the frame can do so without any problems. This is because our balcony system is suitable for mounting on concrete, stone, plastic, wood and aluminum. Thus, frame manufacturers can already mount the profiles on the frames in their factory, after which on site it is just a matter of mounting the glass panel, clicking it on and ready! With only four attachment points on each side, our French balcony guarantees tested AbP safety and saves time during installation."

Wide range of colors and heights

Lyon is available directly from stock in aluminum, white and anthracite color finishes. With this, Bohle Benelux BV meets the largest demand of trend colors in the construction industry. 

"Other profile colors are also available, of course, but on request," Bouwman said. "The profile sets are available as standard in heights of 900, 1,000 and 1,100 mm."

Complete set

The Lyon French balcony system comes as a complete set and includes two base profiles, two click profiles, a sealing set and end caps. Here, customers have a choice of front or side mounting. "The applicable glass thicknesses range from 12.76 to 20 mm laminated glass. Thus, we offer a suitable solution for every situation. A self-adhesive glass edge protection made of stainless steel is optionally available."
