Juliet Balcony System
Juliet Balcony
A Juliet balcony is a shallow, decorative balcony that typically does not provide space for standing or sitting. Instead of projecting outward, it consists of a railing installed in front of a floor-to-ceiling door or window, usually on the upper floors of a building.
Its name comes from the famous scene in Romeo and Juliet, where Juliet appears on such a balcony.
