What exactly is a French balcony made of hot-dip galvanized steel
French galvanized steel balcony railings have a great look and are installed on the outside of windows or doors. Unlike conventional balconies, they do not provide an area for walking or lingering, but are primarily intended for safety and aesthetics. These balustrades allow floor-to-ceiling windows or doors to be opened without posing a safety risk, as they provide reliable protection against falls.
Fire galvanization with optional powder coating
The main advantage of hot-dip galvanizing is that the metal, in this case steel, is coated with a layer of zinc using a special process. This zinc coating forms a protective barrier that protects the material from harmful environmental influences and reliably protects the railing from corrosion. Hot-dip galvanized balconies are therefore durable and easy to maintain. In combination with a professional powder coating, you get the benefits of galvanization without having to sacrifice an attractive appearance.
Appearance of hot-dip galvanizing
First of all, galvanizing has a shiny metallic surface. Due to weathering and other environmental influences, the zinc coating quickly forms a gray, matt surface that rarely meets aesthetic requirements. For this reason, we recommend an additional powder coating, which allows you to visually enhance the railing and match the overall appearance of your façade. However, the coating is not required for corrosion protection.
In addition, the technically necessary galvanizing holes are positioned in such a way that they are no longer visible after installation. Galvanizing holes are openings in the tubes that allow pressure equalization when immersed in the hot zinc bath and enable the inside of the profile to be coated.
Appearance of the powder coating
The powder coating forms an even, smooth surface on the galvanized railing. It ensures that the railing retains a consistent appearance in the long term.
Powder coating is created by applying electrostatically charged powder to the workpiece and then heating it in an oven. This causes the powder to liquefy and fuse into a plastic-like coating that is highly resistant to weathering. We offer the powder coating in the colors black, anthracite and grey, which you can easily select in the upper area by clicking on the button
Safety
Our top priority is your safety. The French balcony railing made of galvanized steel not only impresses with its attractive design, but also reliably protects against falling out - an important safety measure, especially for children, pets or elderly people. The made-to-measure galvanized French balcony provides effective protection thanks to the vertically arranged bars, which prevent residents from climbing up. In addition, the spacing between the bars is narrow enough that no head can fit through. As the railing is fully welded, there are no loose parts, which significantly increases the safety standard
Dimensions
Here you will find all the important dimensions of the balcony. Some data, such as the number of infill bars or the total width of the grille, depend on the dimensions selected. For this reason, we explain in this section how you can calculate these values.
Jamb dimension: 500mm to 1900mm (50cm to 190cm)
Bracket projection: The holes in the wall brackets are 130mm from the reveal.
To obtain the hole dimension, i.e. the distance between the anchor points, add 260mm to the reveal dimension.
Edge projection: The grille protrudes 150mm beyond the reveal on both sides.
To determine the total width of the French balcony, add 380mm to the reveal dimension.
Height: 300mm to 1200mm (30cm to 120cm)
Hole diameter (wall brackets): Ø11mm
Profile tube crossbar: 40x40x2mm
Steel profile filler bars: 12x12mm (solid material)
Filler rod spacing: 120mm
Number of filler bars: 5 to 16 pieces.
The number of filler bars depends on the reveal dimensions. The filler bars are centered and arranged at a clear distance of 120mm from each other and cover the entire width of the wall opening.
Easy installation - even on insulating materials
Installing a French balcony has never been easier. The anchor plate is recessed 10 mm into the wall bracket and therefore enables easy installation on insulating materials using a lock nut.
