What is a balcony glazing system?
Lumon frameless retractable balcony glazing systems have been developed to create a specific space protected form wind, rain, noise and other disturbing elements while leaving the view outside unobstructed.
Lumon balcony glazing consists of two horizontal aluminum profiles mounted on the ceiling, balustrade, or floor structures of the balcony. Frameless tempered glass panes are fastened to the profiles. These 6, 8, 10, or 12 mm thick panes are extremely resistant but very easy to slide and fold.
Retractable glass panes
Retractable glass means that our frameless retractable glass panes can be fully opened. They slide easily and fold against the wall.
The first glass pane opens easily just lifting the handle. Once the first has been opened, it’s easy to slide the other panes and fold them against the wall as well.
All panes can be opened, or some can be left unopened for partial protection. Both inner and outer surfaces of the sliding and folding Lumon balcony glazing panes are easy to clean safely from inside without a need to reach out from the balcony.
The Lumon systems are extremely resistant to wind and impacts. Lumon was the first company in Europe to get the CE-marking for its balcony glass systems.

Types of balcony glazing systems
Our Lumon balcony glass systems can be customized for almost any balcony, and there are several options for you to choose from. Most common applications are:
Railing-to-soffit
Elegant aluminum profiles are mounted onto the soffit and the top of balcony railing. Toughened glass panes measuring 6, 8, or 10mm thick are fastened to small glazing beads top and bottom. These panes can withstand extremely strong winds, yet they are lightweight and easy to slide and fold.
Floor-to-soffit
Extending the glass system from floor to ceiling inside the railing. Aluminum profiles are mounted onto the floor and the soffit. Toughened glass panes measuring 8, 10, or 12mm thick are fastened to small glazing beads top and bottom. Yet they remain lightweight and easy to fold.
Adding living comfort
We believe that a balcony is essentially a separate living space, and that this is a fundamental part of its appeal. We would not try to replicate the same conditions as the interior and simply turn it into an additional room - the balcony will always have its own rules and characteristics, advantages and disadvantages. Once we understand this, the possibilities are endless; the balcony becomes a new opportunity, and its potential is only limited by the boundaries of our imagination and our desire to explore new everyday opportunities.
A balcony always in use, 7 days a week, 365 days a year; a comfortable and functional space for relaxation and enjoyment, either alone or in company, a place to unwind and seek inspiration.
A place to go without the need to abandon your home comforts. Experience the sensation of being outside, but with all the security and comfort of feeling totally at home, enjoying the light and warmth and sitting back on those cold winter days in cozy surroundings.

And, of course, because the glass in our balcony enclosures is fully retractable, you can slide and fold the glass open at any time for fresh air and sunshine.
Protection against weather and noise, lower energy consumption
Our frameless balcony glazing keeps rain, snow, wind, dust, and birds away from your balcony without reducing the amount of light that you receive. This protection also means less time and money spent on maintenance and repairs to the balcony’s inner surfaces and structures.
Our balcony enclosures reduce noise levels by up to 50%, so you can relax inside your home and sleep more comfortably. You can also sleep easy knowing that our retractable glass is secure, meaning increased safety for those on lower floors.
Savings on energy bills are also achieved. Multiple studies on balconies with Lumon balcony glazing (wintergardens) have shown that consumption of heating energy is reduced significantly.
