00 / The brief

Safety comes first — the look follows from getting that right.

How much force the barrier needs to resist — a quiet balcony, a busy hotel corridor, a crowded public space — decides the glass thickness, the frame and the fixings. Choose the look first and the safety spec afterwards and you either overspend on glass or install a guard that doesn't do its one job properly.

2–4 wks

A balustrade is a safety barrier that happens to be transparent. It's engineered like one, not chosen like furniture.

We work the other way round: safety requirement and your building's structure first, then the system that satisfies them, then the finish. Panels are cut after we measure your site, not off a drawing, and delivered with full certification — in marine-grade stainless or aluminium wherever salt air is part of the picture.

01 / Why through us

We import the glass, railings & balustrades. The agent runs the project.

Glass, frame, handrail and fixings are engineered and supplied as one certified system, cut to the exact measurements of your building.

01 / 04

Engineered to the line load

0.5, 1.0 or 3.0 kN/m changes the glass thickness and the channel. We specify from the load case, not from a catalogue picture.

The same material, specified differently per space.

Balconies & terraces
01

Balconies & terraces

Frameless glass panels remove the visual clutter of uprights entirely, which is why they're so popular on coastal homes — sized correctly for the height and location of your balcony.

Clean frameless look with no uprights
Staircases
02

Staircases

Glass stair panels combine with a continuous handrail at the right height, all cut and finished before the glass is toughened — never after.

Continuous handrail included
Hotels & public buildings
03

Hotels & public buildings

Public areas need a stronger specification — thicker glass with a tougher interlayer and a linking handrail. Certification for each panel is handed over at completion.

Offices & retail

Mezzanines, reception stairs and open-plan landings get a balustrade specified for higher footfall than a home would ever see, in a frame finish matched to the rest of the fit-out, with the certificate pack filed alongside your building's safety documentation, ready for any inspection well before the fit-out is signed off.

04 / How to specify it

The decisions that decide the result.

01 / 05

We start from the safety requirement

Whether it's a private balcony or a crowded public space decides everything downstream — glass, frame, fixings.

02 / 05

We always specify laminated glass on a fall

It holds together if it ever breaks, staying in place instead of falling away — this is non-negotiable near a drop.

03 / 05

We check your structure before choosing the system

Your slab and its reinforcement decide how the barrier can be fixed — we check this before quoting.

04 / 05

We measure before we cut

Glass can't be trimmed once it's toughened, so we measure the real site, not just the drawing.

05 / 05

We match fixings to the exposure

Marine-grade stainless close to the sea, standard grade inland — the extra cost is trivial against replacement.

Common mistakes

Choosing thickness from a photo

A balustrade in a reference photo was engineered for its own site — copying the look without the calculation is a risk on a safety item.

Drilling toughened glass on site

Any hole must exist before toughening — doing it afterwards destroys the panel and its certification.

Using standard stainless at the seafront

It stains within months near the sea — entirely avoidable by choosing the right grade at order stage.

06 / The long read

Glass, Railings & Balustrades, from first quote
to a finished room.

Glass, frame, handrail and fixings are engineered and supplied as one certified system, cut to the exact measurements of your building. This is the part most suppliers leave out: what we import, how glass, Railings & Balustrades should be specified before anyone prices it, where projects lose money, and what our 2–4 wks lead time actually covers.

01

What we import, and what lands on site

Tempered and laminated safety glass, frameless balustrade channels, spigots and clamps, stainless and aluminium handrails, and fabricated metal railings for stairs, balconies and terraces. Every system is specified against the imposed line load and the fall height, cut to your survey dimensions, and delivered with the glass certificates a building file needs.

Because we buy glass, Railings & Balustrades directly from the factories, the range you see is the range we can programme — not a catalogue we hope to source later. In practice that means frameless glass balustrades, laminated & tempered glass and stainless & aluminium railings, each with its own price band and availability, so a specification can be tuned to a budget instead of abandoned.

Engineered to the line load: 0.5, 1.0 or 3.0 kN/m changes the glass thickness and the channel. We specify from the load case, not from a catalogue picture.

02

How glass, Railings & Balustrades should be specified before it is priced

Specifying glass, Railings & Balustrades well comes down to a short list of decisions taken in the right order — we start from the safety requirement, we always specify laminated glass on a fall, we check your structure before choosing the system and we measure before we cut. Taken on paper, these cost nothing. Taken on site, each one is a change order.

We write the specification with you before anything is quoted, so the number you get is for the material that will actually be installed. That means confirmed dimensions and finishes, the right performance class for the space, and quantities that include the waste factor rather than discovering it mid-installation.

The same reference behaves differently depending on where it goes — balconies and terraces, staircases, hotels and public buildings and pool and roof edges each carry their own requirements, and we specify against the space rather than against a mood image.

Heat-treated glass that's far stronger than standard glass and breaks into small, blunt pieces if it ever fails.

03

Where glass, Railings & Balustrades projects lose time and money

Almost every delay we are called in to rescue traces back to the same handful of causes: choosing thickness from a photo, drilling toughened glass on site, using standard stainless at the seafront and skipping the certificates. None of them are exotic, and all of them are avoidable at specification stage.

Choosing thickness from a photo is the most expensive one, because a balustrade in a reference photo was engineered for its own site — copying the look without the calculation is a risk on a safety item.

We have supplied glass, Railings & Balustrades into balconies & terraces, staircases and hotels & public buildings, and the pattern is consistent: the projects that run smoothly are the ones where the material was locked before the trades were booked.

Drilling toughened glass on site — checked once on paper, never again on site.

Skipping the certificates

We hand these over at order, not chase them after handover when it's much harder.

04

Lead times, pricing and what we handle

Standard lead time on glass, Railings & Balustrades is 2–4 wks from confirmed specification, and that window covers the whole chain — factory programming, consolidation, transport, customs where applicable and delivery to site or to your warehouse. We quote the landed number, not an ex-works price that grows later.

Pricing is per project rather than per line. Because we import directly and consolidate glass, Railings & Balustrades with the rest of the materials for the same room, you get one quote, one delivery window and one point of contact — and the savings show up on the total, not just on a headline reference.

If you already have drawings, send them and we will come back with a specification and a landed price. If you do not, we will build the specification with you first. Either way, nothing is ordered until the quantities, finishes and dates are agreed in writing.

07 / Questions

Frequently asked

How thick does balustrade glass need to be?+

For a residential balcony at 1.0 kN/m, frameless laminated glass is typically 17.5–21.5 mm depending on height and fixing. Public buildings at 3.0 kN/m go thicker or use a top rail. The load case decides it, not the aesthetic.

Frameless or post-and-glass — what's the difference in cost?+

Frameless is the more expensive system because the glass carries the load and must be thicker and certified. Post-and-infill uses thinner glass and costs less, at the price of visible uprights.

Do I need laminated glass or is tempered enough?+

Anywhere there is a fall, use laminated. Tempered alone can fail and vanish; laminated stays in the frame on the interlayer. For showers and interior screens, tempered is standard.

Can you cut the panels to my measurements?+

Yes — every panel is cut and processed to order, including cut-outs and polished edges. That's why glass runs on a 2–4 week lead time rather than shipping from stock.

Will the hardware corrode near the sea?+

Not if it is 316 stainless or marine-grade anodised aluminium. 304 stainless is fine inland but will show tea-staining on a seafront elevation.

Do you supply the railings for a full building?+

Yes. Balcony balustrades, stair railings, roof guarding and glass screens can be specified as one project package with a common finish and one delivery programme.
