Framed glass balustrades offer a practical way to define raised areas while retaining a sense of openness. Here are some of the key benefits and considerations when choosing a system for your property.
Glass panels provide a barrier without the solid appearance of brickwork or timber infill.
Frame finishes can be chosen to work with surrounding materials and existing features.
Define suitable raised areas without making the space feel unnecessarily enclosed.
Understand the key specification requirements before deciding on a system for your home.
The frame finish plays an important part in the overall appearance of your balustrade. Speak to our team about the available colours and finishes to help coordinate your chosen system with your property's windows, doors and surrounding materials.
The right glass specification depends on the balustrade's position, supporting structure and intended use. Safety glass must be selected to meet the relevant requirements for the installation. Our team can help you explore suitable options for your project and establish the specifications required before ordering.
Framed glass balustrades combine glass panels with a supporting frame to create a defined barrier without relying on solid infill. They can suit a range of settings, including balconies, staircases and raised terraces, depending on the system selected.
The frame contributes to the balustrade’s overall appearance and supports the glass panels as part of the complete installation.
A glass balustrade must be suitable for its location and the loads it is expected to withstand. The glass, frame, fixings and supporting structure all need to be considered together, particularly where the balustrade provides protection against a fall.
Our team can discuss your requirements and help establish the information needed to specify an appropriate system. By considering the installation location and intended use from the outset, you can make a more informed decision about the design and technical requirements for your project.
