Balcony Doors
ENCRAFT Balcony Doors are designed with a slimmer overall frame sightline, allowing greater glass coverage and creating a bright, modern appearance. They are available in both single and double-door configurations (French doors) and can be designed to open either inward or outward.
The doors are supplied with a single operating handle positioned on the inside as standard. For convenient temporary closure from the outside, a specially designed handle along with a concealed snap-in mechanism can be incorporated.
ENCRAFT Balcony Doors can be installed as stand-alone units or configured with fanlights and sidelights. They can also be integrated into complete curtain walling screens, offering greater flexibility for different architectural applications.

Frequently asked questions
uPVC insulates far better and costs less for ordinary residential openings. Thermally broken aluminium is stronger, so it carries larger panels with slimmer frames.

An acoustic laminated inner pane inside a double-glazed unit, with the two panes at different thicknesses and a wide cavity. Just as important, choose a casement or tilt-and-turn window rather than a slider, because the sash needs to compress onto its gaskets to seal.
Yes. We bend profile on a heated forming table from a site template, so semi-circular, segmental and elliptical heads are all possible, fixed or with an operable lower sash.
