What Are Balustrades?

Some business owners or property managers may not even be aware of what glass balustrades are. Especially regarding the benefits they can offer various types of commercial properties.

Balustrades refer to the panels that provide barriers for spaces such as staircases, terraces, balconies, and decking areas. Both interior and exterior, glass balustrades are a great way to maintain safety throughout commercial premises without sacrificing a stylish and modern aesthetic.

Framed Glass Balustrades

All of our glass balustrade fixings are made from safety glass, which is toughened during the manufacturing process. Approved by Building Regulations Document K, our glass installers will assess any potential risks and create bespoke glass balustrades that fit all your technical requirements.

Glass balustrades also can offer a variety of uses for any type of building. For safety reasons, handrails and balustrades are essential to provide guidance and protection through commercial buildings. But, you shouldn’t have to lose your style. That’s why our custom glass balustrade panels are ideal to keep up a modern aesthetic, whilst also providing safety.

What our clients say about our glass balustrades

Josh and his team replaced an oak framed, 4 metre balcony this summer with modern safety glass and the effect was transformational. He replaced all of the old wood, installed the new glass and safety bar and fixed base all in one day at a very competitive rate. I can only rate his work as 5 star
