Balconnette Systems — Designed for Minimum Posts, Maximum Views

Balconnette manufacture their glass balustrade systems at their UK facility in Surrey, engineering each product to span as far as possible without vertical posts. The result is a cleaner, more open installation — less interruption to the view from inside or outside, and fewer fixings into the structure below.

We are an official approved supplier and installer of the Balconnette range. That means a direct supply route to their products, correct specification from the outset, and a local East Midlands team that handles the full job — measurement, order, and installation — as a complete service.

Orbit & Aerofoil Systems

Balconnette offer two main balustrade system families. Each has a different structural approach and visual character — from a classic circular handrail to a sleek wing-profile aerofoil design.

Balconnette Orbit glass balustrade — circular 70mm handrail with minimal posts
System 1

Orbit System — Circular Handrail

The Orbit system uses a 70mm diameter circular aluminium handrail with an internal channel and bracing support — a classic round profile that provides excellent rigidity across long runs. Horizontal spans of up to 3,300mm are achievable without additional upright posts, and corners do not require posts either.

The familiar round handrail profile suits a wide range of settings — from traditional domestic terraces and decking areas to contemporary commercial balcony edges. Where posts are required, Balconnette offer 55mm circular post profiles to match the handrail, as well as square newel post options for staircase and privacy screen applications.

  • 70mm circular handrail — classic, comfortable profile
  • Runs up to 3,300mm without a post
  • Corners require no upright supports
  • 55mm circular post option for a matching profile
  • Available in all Balconnette colour options
  • Suitable for stairs, balconies, and terraces

System 2

Aerofoil System — Wing-Shaped Handrail

The Aerofoil system uses a wing-shaped (aerofoil profile) aluminium handrail — the shape is engineered specifically to maximise rigidity across wide spans while providing a comfortable, flat surface to lean on. The result is a system that achieves greater spans than the Orbit, with a more contemporary and architectural character.

The aerofoil profile resists bending and twisting along its full length, allowing very long runs between posts. This makes it particularly suitable for large terrace edges, roof gardens, and commercial balcony installations where a clean, low-post result is essential.

  • Wing-shaped handrail — comfortable and highly rigid
  • Greater spans than the Orbit system
  • Contemporary, architectural profile
  • Anodised aluminium — superior corrosion resistance
  • Available in Anthracite Grey, Jet Black, Silver, Royal Chrome
  • Suits commercial and high-end residential

Key Advantages

What Makes Balconnette Systems Different

Supplied Cut to Size

Every Balconnette system is supplied cut to your exact measurements and fully fabricated — no on-site cutting or fabrication required. Components arrive ready to assemble and install, which reduces installation time and the risk of errors on site.

UK Manufactured

All systems are designed and manufactured at Balconnette's own UK facility — not imported. This means consistent product quality, reliable lead times, and full accountability at every stage from design to delivery.

Anodised Aluminium Rails

Handrails are anodised aluminium — a material that is more corrosion-resistant than marine-grade stainless steel and significantly lighter. No rust, no pitting, no ongoing maintenance. The anodised finish does not degrade in external conditions.

Structural Calculations Included

Balconnette provide structural calculations and fire classification evidence packs for their systems — documentation that many Building Control applications require. We can provide this as part of your project if needed.

Colour Options

Available in Royal Chrome (anodised), Silver (anodised), RAL 7016 Anthracite Grey (powder coated), and RAL 9005 Jet Black (powder coated). Most standard door frame and architectural metalwork colour schemes are covered.

Full East Midlands Coverage

We cover Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, South Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, and surrounding areas. Survey, order management, and installation are all handled by our own team — not subcontracted.

Frequently Asked Questions

Both the Orbit and Aerofoil systems use posts where the span requires them, but they are engineered to minimise post frequency and maximise clear views. Structural calculations are available from Balconnette for both systems to support Building Control applications.
Yes. Balconnette supply all systems cut to your exact dimensions and fully fabricated — no cutting or fabrication is required on site. We take the measurements, place the order with Balconnette, and install the finished system. Components arrive ready to assemble.
The Orbit system handles horizontal runs up to 3,300mm without a post. The Aerofoil system achieves greater spans than this. Importantly, corners do not require upright posts on either system — which is a significant advantage for L-shaped or wraparound balcony edges and terrace perimeters.
Yes. Balconnette produce specific staircase balustrade configurations, and the Orbit system's square newel post option is designed for use at the top and bottom of staircase runs. We can advise on the correct specification for your staircase.
We visit to take measurements and confirm the fixing specification, then place the order with Balconnette. Once the system arrives we carry out the installation — fixing the channel or posts, fitting the glass panels, and securing the handrail. Most residential balcony runs are completed in a single day. We provide a tidy handover and can provide documentation for Building Control if required.
Yes. We cover a 50-mile radius from our base in Mansfield, which includes Nottingham, Derby, Sheffield, Chesterfield, Lincoln, Newark, and surrounding areas. All installations are carried out by our own team.
