7. OPENING

When choosing opening, it is important to think about how the glazed-in balcony needs to work. Do you want the balcony to open fully? From floor to ceiling? Or is the ability to shut out wind and rain the most attractive feature? Do the windows need to be cleanable from inside? Answering these few questions will make choosing the windows easier. And if you want everything in one package – choose Balco Twin®!
A. INCLUDED BALCO TWIN®

With our unique Balco Twin® opening, you get two systems in one for maximum flexibility and the option of opening up the whole balcony.

The elegantly designed window can be opened like a normal sliding window or folded in.
Balco Twin® is simple and straightforward to operate, without any need for a strong grip or special tools. All it takes is a light grip on the window frame to slide the window to the side and when you want to fold it in, simply use the handle concealed discreetly in the window frame (optional accessory). Another unique function is the ability to fold in an individual pane at any point along the track, which is great when you want to clean your windows or chat to your neighbours.

B. OPTION FOLDING GLASS WITH FRAME

The frames ensure that the system has considerably more stability and protection. Otherwise, the same functions as with the folding glass without frame.

From outside: The discreet frames make the façade look very smart.

From inside: You get a more tightly sealed balcony and so increased protection from traffic noise and other disturbing sounds outside. You are also protected from wind and weather, which gives a cosier feel.
 
 
C. OPTION FOLDING GLASS WITHOUT FRAME

Has no vertical frame, so the system cannot offer the same level of protection from the elements and stability as a window with a full frame.

From outside: Gives the impression of a single expanse of glass.

From inside: The balcony is completely open when you push the panes to the side and fold them in. Window cleaning is easy.
