Glass Balcony Systems
A panoramic view that never limits your scenery, Şişecam 8mm tempered safety glass, 316-grade stainless 8-bearing mechanism, and a 10-year rust-proof warranty.
Turn Your Balcony Into a Room You Can Live In All Four Seasons
Real Folding Glass Balcony Systems protect your home's balcony from the harsh wind, noise, dust, and rain of the outdoors while letting you enjoy your view without interruption. Our patented Pro Gold aluminum profile architecture, with a heavy-duty 3.5mm wall thickness, does not sway or shake even in stormy weather. Heat-treated Şişecam tempered glass panels offer 5 times higher resistance to outside impact, creating a fully safe living space for your family.
The glass panels used in our systems are manufactured either as high-security 8mm impact-resistant tempered glass or in 31mm Comfort Double Glazing combinations that provide maximum heat insulation. All panels slide inward along corner exit guides and fold at a 90-degree angle; this means the outside glass can be cleaned 100% safely, effortlessly, and practically even on high floors. Thanks to our flexible architectural compatibility, millimeter-precise installation is possible on flat, angled, L-shaped, or oval balconies of every form.
Instead of plastic gaskets that yellow and crack in the sun, the aluminum gasket technology with PVC seals we use cuts off wind like a barrier at the glass joints. The stainless steel 8-bearing ball-wheel assembly offers years of smooth sliding comfort. The self-draining profile structure with built-in water channels expels any water that enters the profile during heavy rain, keeping your balcony dry and hygienic.

Real Pro Gold Double-Glazed Glass Balcony System With Aesthetic and Comfortable Living Spaces
Pro Gold Solution to Bursa Mudanya Seaside Residence's Wind and Noise Problem
Project Need: The owner of a 7th-floor residence on the Bursa Mudanya coastline could not use their balcony in winter due to harsh northeasterly winds and was disturbed by road noise.
Real's Solution: Our engineering team completed high-floor wind load analyses and installed a Real Pro Gold Folding Glass Balcony with an anthracite frame, aluminum gasket, and espagnolette handle on the balcony.
Result: Seaside wind and noise were cut by 85%. The owner gained a new room where they can enjoy the sea view even in winter without heat loss.
Frequently Asked Questions
The 20 most commonly asked technical and installation details about our Folding Glass Balcony systems:
1. Do the panels sag over time in folding glass balcony systems? ▼
Yes, if installed incorrectly and without steel-bodied stainless bearings. In the Real Pro Gold series, adjustable top/bottom stopper mechanisms and dual-ball stainless bearings are used, reducing the sagging risk to zero.
2. Should I choose 8mm or 31mm double-glazing for a folding glass balcony? ▼
For standard seasonal protection and blocking wind and dust, 8mm Şişecam tempered glass is sufficient. If you want to use the balcony like a fully warm room of the house in winter, the 31mm Comfort Double-Glazed model should be chosen.
3. Is a folding glass balcony resistant to stormy winds? ▼
Yes. Real Pro Gold frame profiles are made of heavy-duty extruded aluminum with a 3.5mm wall thickness. Thanks to panel-fixing stoppers, it doesn't sway in stormy weather.
4. Can a folding glass balcony be installed on oval, L-shaped, or U-shaped angled balconies? ▼
Yes. Our folding glass balcony systems are manufactured with millimeter precision, 100% compatible with any balcony architecture — angled, L-shaped, U-shaped, oval (curved), or round.
5. Should a folding glass balcony use a transparent gasket or an aluminum gasket? ▼
Transparent plastic gaskets yellow and crack over time from UV rays. At Real, we use aluminum gaskets with insulation brushes in our systems, which offer lifetime use, don't yellow, and block wind.
6. Does a folding glass balcony let rainwater in? ▼
Real Pro Gold frames include a built-in water drainage channel and a drip-edge profile. In heavy rain, any water that enters the profile is expelled through the drip channels, preventing water from getting inside.
7. Does a folding glass balcony provide heat insulation? ▼
Standard 8mm single-glazed systems block wind, dust, and rain. If high heat insulation and room-comfort use in winter is desired, our double-glazed Real Pro Gold 31mm Comfort Double-Glazing model should be chosen.
8. Can pleated curtains be installed on a folding glass balcony? ▼
Yes. Thanks to our "Curtain-Track Profile" option, special pleated curtains or accordion insect-screen systems can be easily integrated onto the panels.
9. How is a folding glass balcony cleaned on high floors? ▼
In the folding system, all glass panels slide in turn and fold inward at 90 degrees via the corner exit guide. This means the outer surface of the glass can be wiped 100% safely from inside your home, even on high floors.
10. Are folding glass balcony systems secure against break-ins? ▼
The impact-resistant tempered safety glass used in our systems, combined with top and bottom press-lock safety locks, forms a deterrent and secure barrier against break-ins.
11. Do the wheels and bearings of a folding glass balcony rust? ▼
No. Real Folding Glass Balcony systems use a total of 8 stainless steel ball bearings per panel — 4 at the bottom and 4 at the top. They come with a 10-year warranty against rust.
12. What determines the per-square-meter price of a folding glass balcony? ▼
Folding glass balcony prices are determined by the selected glass type (8mm single glass vs. 31mm double-glazing), profile series (Pro Gold Standard or Curtain-Track), aluminum color option, and the balcony's architectural dimensions.
13. What is the difference between a double-glazed folding glass balcony and single glass? ▼
Single-glazed (8mm) systems act as a shield against wind, dust, and rain. Double-glazed (31mm) systems block 50% of heat loss thanks to the argon gas insulation barrier between the two glass panes.
14. Does a folding glass balcony require a permit or municipal approval? ▼
Since folding glass balcony systems do not create a fixed reinforced-concrete structure and are lightweight architectural elements that can be removed and reinstalled, they do not require a permit, in line with Supreme Court precedent rulings.
15. Can the glass of a folding glass balcony shatter or break on impact? ▼
Our patented Şişecam tempered glass undergoes heat treatment, making it 5 times more impact-resistant compared to standard glass. Even if it breaks, it prevents the risk of injury.
16. What glass colors can be chosen for a folding glass balcony? ▼
In addition to clear, smoke (black), bronze, green, and blue color options, we also offer reflective (mirrored) tempered glass options for customers seeking privacy.
17. What is the patented advantage of the Real Pro Gold folding glass balcony system? ▼
Real Pro Gold is patented for wind and water insulation, with an increased-thickness aluminum frame structure, patented lock and vent designs, drip-edge water drainage channels, and adjustable bristle-brush housings.
18. How long does the installation of a folding glass balcony take? ▼
After millimeter-precise measurements are taken at your address and factory production is completed, the installation of a standard balcony is finished by our certified expert teams in an average of 3 to 5 hours.
19. How does the lock mechanism of a folding glass balcony work? ▼
The first panel is opened with top and bottom press-lock safety locks or a chain lock. The other panels slide on their wheels to the exit guide and fold inward in sequence.
20. What is the warranty period for Real Cam Balkon's folding glass systems? ▼
Our Pro Gold Folding Glass Balcony systems have a 2-year system warranty against manufacturing and installation defects, and the wheel bearings and profiles carry a 10-year parts warranty against rust.
