Glass balustrades can be used for staircases, balconies or decking.
They help to let in more light and create a sense of openness, making living spaces feel more connected. Wherever it’s installed, your glass balustrade will give you a clean, modern look without compromising on safety or durability.
A glass balustrade can be a more effective replacement for hallway and landing balustrades, as well as an efficient way to partition a workspace. Wherever they are used, glass balustrades help to open up a space in a warm and welcoming way – plus they’re easy to clean and simple to integrate into an existing design.
If you like the idea of achieving a more contemporary style but you’re unsure how to achieve it, get in touch with our team.
Glass balustrades work brilliantly around swimming pools, garden ponds, decking and patios, maximising light while shielding against wind.
For glass balustrades around pools, we use patterned toughened safety glass to enhance privacy, but patterned glass can also be used in any other location you choose.

We use toughened (tempered) glass and toughened laminated glass. Toughened glass is strong and designed to shatter into small, less harmful pieces if broken. Laminated glass has an interlayer that holds it together even if the glass is broken, providing extra safety in high-traffic areas. Both types meet safety standards and offer durability for indoor and outdoor use.
Fitting requires precision and expertise. Panels are securely attached using fittings such as clamps, channels or standoffs and can be fitted with frames for added structure or frameless for a seamless look. Whatever option you choose, our professional installers will make sure it’s fitted for quality and safety.

The area should be clean and free of obstacles. If structural work is needed, such as adding fixing points, this must be completed beforehand.
