ASB works with homeowners, builders, remodelers, and property teams across Nicholasville, Lexington, and surrounding Central Kentucky communities.
A balcony look without a walk-out platform
A Juliet balcony creates the protective barrier and architectural appearance of a balcony at a tall exterior opening, but it does not include a floor people step onto. The scope centers on the iron guard, its proportions, and its attachment to the building.
Made to fit the opening and architecture
The width, height, mounting surface, trim, door swing, façade depth, and desired projection all affect the layout. Designs can stay clean and minimal or include ornamental pickets, scrollwork, shaped top rails, or details coordinated with existing gates and railings.
Plan the attachment before fabrication
Send exterior and interior photos, opening dimensions, wall construction if known, and any architectural drawings. ASB confirms the fabrication scope around the available information and coordinates the metalwork with the responsible builder or design professional when the surrounding structure requires it.

Common questions
What is a mock or false balcony called?
The common term is Juliet balcony. False balcony, faux balcony, balconette, and mock balcony describe the same guard without a walk-out floor.
Does a Juliet balcony include a platform?
No. It is the exterior guard only. For a usable platform, use ASB's custom iron balcony service and identify any platform or structural work.
Can ASB make an ornamental Juliet balcony?
Yes. The design can use simple vertical lines or decorative iron details based on the opening, architecture, fabrication scope, and finish.
Can it match my existing gate or railing?
Often, yes. Send close photos so ASB can review the rail profile, pickets, scrolls, caps, and finish.
