Frequently Asked Questions – Glass Balustrades
1. Are glass balustrades safe?
Absolutely. All of our glass balustrade systems are designed and installed in compliance with British Standards (BS 6180) and building regulations. We use toughened or laminated safety glass, which is engineered to resist impact, pressure, and weather conditions. Frameless systems can include laminated panels to ensure extra safety even if the glass breaks.
2. What type of glass is used for balustrades?
We use toughened glass (10mm–21.5mm) or laminated toughened glass, depending on the application and required safety level. Laminated glass includes a protective interlayer that holds the panel together in case of breakage, making it ideal for balconies and elevated areas.
3. Can glass balustrades be installed without a handrail?
Yes, especially with frameless systems. In many residential settings, handrails are optional as long as the glass is thick and strong enough to meet safety regulations. However, commercial or elevated applications may require handrails for compliance.
4. Are glass balustrades suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. All our systems are made using weather-resistant materials such as marine-grade stainless steel and powder-coated aluminium. The glass itself is toughened to handle wind, temperature changes, and moisture, making it ideal for balconies, terraces, and gardens.
5. Do glass balustrades require a lot of maintenance?
Not at all. Glass balustrades are very low-maintenance. Occasional cleaning with glass cleaner or mild soap is usually enough. Stainless steel or aluminium components may require occasional wiping to maintain their finish, especially in coastal areas.
6. How long does installation take?
Installation time depends on the size and complexity of the project, but most domestic balustrades are completed in 1–3 days. We always provide clear timelines before starting and work efficiently with minimal disruption.
7. Can you replace broken or scratched glass panels?
Yes. We offer glass replacement services for damaged or worn panels. We can match the existing system or upgrade it if needed. Replacement is quick and cost-effective with minimal disturbance.
8. Do you offer custom designs or only standard models?
We provide made-to-measure solutions tailored to your space and preferences. From glass type and thickness to frame colour and fixing method, we customise every detail to suit your project.
