Aluminum Balcony Enclosure Windows for Extra Living Space
t405-21

Aluminum balcony enclosure windows close in an open balcony with sliding or folding glass panels, creating an extra room that is protected from wind, rain and dust. Because they are made to measure in our Tel Aviv factory, they fit your existing balcony opening exactly. The result is usable floor space you can use year-round.
What Balcony Enclosure Windows Do for Your Home
Enclosing a balcony turns an exposed strip of floor into a room you can use all year. Once the glass panels are closed, the space is protected from wind, rain and dust, so you can use it as a reading corner, a home office, a children's play area or an extra sitting room.
The enclosed balcony also helps the apartment stay more comfortable. The glass acts as an additional layer between the outside air and your living space, which can make the adjacent rooms feel calmer and more sheltered.
Choosing the Right Aluminum Window System
Most balcony enclosures use one of a few window types, and the right choice depends on the width of the opening and how you want to move through the space.
- Sliding systems save floor space and suit long, narrow balconies.
- Folding systems open the balcony almost completely in good weather.
- Fixed panels give the most solid enclosure for a small opening.
We will recommend the system that suits your balcony layout after reviewing your photos and taking measurements on site.
Measuring and Planning Your Enclosure
Accurate measurement is the foundation of a good balcony enclosure. Our team visits your home to measure the opening, check the balcony floor and railing, and note any obstacles such as pipes, air conditioning units or uneven edges.
From these measurements we prepare a drawing and a written specification showing the window layout, frame profiles and opening direction. You review and approve the plan before any production begins, so there are no surprises later.
Frame, Glass and Finish Options
Our aluminum frames are manufactured to your exact dimensions. You can choose the glass type, from clear single glazing to double glazing for better insulation and noise reduction, and select a powder-coated color that matches your building or your interior.
Powder coating gives the frame a durable, even finish that resists the weather. Together with the right glazing, it keeps the enclosed balcony comfortable across the seasons.
Safety and Building Considerations
Before enclosing a balcony, check with your building committee and the relevant authorities, since rules on changes to exterior facades vary. Balcony railings and glass infill must also meet the Israeli railing standard SI 1142, and we confirm the requirements for your specific structure with the engineer.
Good installation matters too. Frames must be fixed securely to the existing structure and sealed correctly against water infiltration.
From Inquiry to Installation
The process is straightforward. You send us photos of your balcony, we arrange an on-site measurement, and we provide a drawing and written specification for your approval. Once approved, the windows are manufactured in our factory, finished and then installed at your home.
Throughout the process you have a clear point of contact, so you always know where your project stands.
Frequently asked questions
Can every balcony be enclosed with aluminum windows?
Most balconies can be enclosed, but the structure, railing and local building rules determine what is possible. A site visit and measurement will show whether your balcony is suitable.
Are sliding or folding windows better for a balcony?
Sliding windows are better for narrow balconies because they take up no floor space when open. Folding windows open more fully, which suits wider balconies where you want a strong connection to the outdoors.
Do I need approval before enclosing my balcony?
In most cases you should check with your building committee and the local authorities before changing the exterior of the building. We can advise on what is typically required for your situation.
How do I start a balcony enclosure project?
Send us photos of your balcony and a short description of what you want. We will then arrange an on-site measurement and prepare a drawing and specification for your approval.
Common mistakes to avoid
Many homeowners order windows before measuring carefully or checking the building rules, which can lead to wrong sizes or delays. Always measure on site and confirm approvals before production begins.
Our recommendation
Choose the window system based on how you will use the space and how much floor area you can spare, and consider double glazing if the room will be used as a permanent living area. Ask for a written drawing before approving the order.
Summary
Aluminum balcony enclosure windows create extra living space that is protected from the weather. Measure carefully, choose the right system and confirm approvals to get a result you will enjoy for years.
