French balcony with custom-made stainless steel handle
Are you looking for a stylish solution for fall-out protection or fall protection for your windows and doors? Then you've come to the right place. Floor-to-ceiling windows and doors on higher floors are very popular, as they allow plenty of light into the room and invite you to relax and enjoy the view while standing at the window. To minimize or completely prevent the risk of falling, it is necessary to install safety measures in front of floor-to-ceiling windows and doors, such as this French stainless steel balcony railing with grab rail.
We offer a height of 400-1300mm and a length of 500-2300mm, you can easily configure these dimensions yourself. Simply enter the reveal width, i.e. the dimension of the wall opening, and the desired height in our configurator. There is also a permanently welded handrail for support on the upper crossbar. The handrail has a distance of 100 mm to the crossbar and is pre-assembled with at least 2 handrail brackets; from a reveal dimension of 1189 mm, 3 handrail brackets are available.
Application areas of the French balustrade railing
Of course, the areas of application for the French balustrade are extremely diverse. Below we offer you a compact overview of some possible applications:
-
Residential buildings and apartments: French balconies are popular in residential buildings and apartments. They give facades an elegant, modern look and offer security and comfort. On higher floors, especially in apartment buildings or public buildings, French balconies can serve as an additional safety measure to minimize the risk of falls.
Commercial and business premises: French balconies can also be used in office buildings or other commercial facilities to increase safety and improve the external appearance at the same time.
-
Hotels: French balconies can be installed in hotel rooms to provide guests with a safe way to open the windows and enjoy the view.
-
Vacation homes: One benefit of a French balcony in a vacation home could be that it provides safety-conscious and aesthetic access to fresh air and a beautiful view without requiring a full outdoor deck. This can be an attractive option for vacationers who appreciate the ability to open their windows but still want the safety and comfort of a railing.
Popular in urban environments: In densely built-up urban areas where balconies are not possible with limited space, French balconies offer a safe way to open up the space and enjoy the view.
What is the exact definition of a French balcony?
French balconies are characterized by their elegance and safety and are installed on the outside of windows or doors, allowing the window or door to be opened fully without danger. Schmiedekult offers an exclusive selection of precisely crafted French balconies, carefully made by hand from V2A stainless steel. Our products are characterized by outstanding quality and craftsmanship to provide a sophisticated and aesthetically pleasing solution for your requirements, significantly enhancing the façade both visually and in terms of safety.
Resistant to corrosion thanks to the use of stainless steel
Stainless steel is a particularly popular material for French window grilles, not least because of its outstanding properties, which are also very popular for outdoor use. The grilles are characterized by their stability, durability and resistance to corrosion. This means that, with appropriate care, they can withstand the effects of the environment and retain their aesthetic appeal over a long period of time. In addition, stainless steel allows for a variety of surface finishes to suit different design preferences. In this case, we opt for a polished finish for the railing. The railing kit consists of an upper handrail with fixed handrail brackets, two crossbars with pre-assembled filler rod brackets, wall fixings and stainless steel filler rods. Assembly is simple and straightforward.
Security
Your safety is our top priority. The custom-made stainless steel French balcony is the perfect safety device for your home or wherever it is needed. This railing has an additional pre-assembled handrail above the upper crossbar. It not only impresses with its attractive design, but also offers a reliable safety solution against falling out - particularly important for children, pets or older people. The stainless steel railing, which is also equipped with a handrail, is a quickly assembled kit and offers effective protection thanks to vertically arranged bars that prevent small residents from climbing up. In addition, the maximum spacing between the bars of 120 mm is designed so that no head can fit through. The perfect protective device in many areas.
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.
Allowance dimension: 500mm to 2300mm (50cm to 230cm)
Handrail holder reveal dimension: 3 handrail holders are available from a reveal dimension of 1189mm
Handrail holders: The handrail holders have a maximum distance of 1200mm from each other
Distance between handrail holder and top crossbar: 100mm
Holder projection: The holes in the wall brackets are 130mm away 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 190mm beyond the reveal on both sides.
To determine the total width of the French balcony, add 380mm to the reveal dimension.
Height: 400mm to 1300mm (40cm to 130cm)
Wall clearance: 50mm
This is the clear dimension, i.e. the distance from the inside of the pipe to the wall.
Diameter (wall brackets): Ø100mm
Hole dimension (wall brackets): 70mm
Hole diameter (wall brackets): Ø10.5mm
Panel thickness (wall brackets): 6mm
Tube diameter (crossbar): Ø42.4mm (2mm wall thickness)
Filling rod diameter: Ø12mm
Filling rod spacing: 120mm
Number of filler rods: 5 to 19 pieces.
The number of filler rods 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.
Uncomplicated construction kit
The French balcony is supplied as a kit and is easy to assemble. We provide the two crossbars with filler rod holders and wall brackets so that you only need to insert the filler rods. In addition, the top crossbar is already equipped with a pre-assembled handrail/handle.
The filler rods can be easily pushed into the holders and then secured with grub screws. The grub screw is already pre-assembled in the filler rod holders and has a hexagon socket drive with a wrench size of 2.5.
Once all the filler rods have been inserted, the railing can simply be anchored in the wall. The ends of the handrail are firmly closed with slightly curved end caps.
