Are Your Stairs or Landing Crying Out for a Glass Balustrade?

Do you need to brighten up a dark hallway, but worry a new balustrade will be a fiddly, drawn-out job? Maybe you’ve got an old timber spindle rail you want gone, a balcony that needs a safe edge, or you’ve seen frameless glass online and have no idea where to start.

  • Heavy, old-fashioned railings blocking the light
  • A balcony or landing that needs a safe, sturdy edge
  • Not knowing whether to go for clear, toughened or frameless glass
  • Worrying about getting the measurements and fixings right

We understand. A balustrade has to look right and be safe, and a botched fit shows. That’s why our surveyors measure properly, and our installers fit it cleanly the first time β€” so you’re not left with wobbly panels or a job that drags on.

Glass Balustrade FAQs

What is a glass balustrade?

A glass balustrade is a railing made from panels of toughened safety glass instead of traditional timber or metal spindles. It’s used along staircases, landings, balconies and terraces to provide a safe edge while keeping the view open and letting light through. Panels can be framed, fixed with posts, or frameless, depending on the look you’re after.

Is glass balustrade glass safe?

Yes. Balustrades are made from toughened safety glass, which is far stronger than ordinary glass and, if it ever does break, crumbles into small blunt pieces rather than sharp shards. We’ll talk you through the right glass spec for your staircase or balcony.

Can you fit a glass balustrade to an existing staircase?

In most cases, yes. Our surveyor will check your stairs, landing or balcony, take exact measurements and advise on the best fixing method for your setup before we fit anything.

Do you offer frameless glass balustrades?

We supply a range of styles, including framed, post-and-glass and frameless options. Tell us the look you’re after and we’ll recommend what works for your space and budget.
