COMMERCIAL
BALUSTRADE

Commercial balustrade can be used in a variety of environments, the lower force protection domestic to commercial crossover products (ORIGIN-R and POSIglaze) are suitable for glass partitions and glass staircases that you might find in public buildings and office spaces, as well as for a garden or terrace windbreak in a bar or restaurant, where exposure to high wind isn’t an issue. The higher force loading MEGAgrip is suitable for areas where high winds or crowding may be an additional consideration, for example, coastal bars and restaurants, stadiums, music venues, shopping centers and transport hubs as windbreaks, defined walkways, crowd control barriers and partition walls.

Glass balustrade building regulations come into play when there is a change in floor level or drop, and they vary according to the specific application. For example, in commercial situations, a balustrade is required to protect against a floor level change of 380 mm. There are further regulations that govern how high the balustrade needs to be relative to the drop that it is protecting against, as well as regulations around the impact force that the balustrade needs to be able to withstand. More information can be found on our building regulations page and on the ‘force loading capabilities’ section of each individual product page.

Our balustrade channels are very affordable, with prices starting from £55 per meter of channel, including the required fixtures and fittings, the glass needs to be bought separately. Our channel-based balustrade systems come in 3-metre lengths (although 1.5 and 6-metre are sometimes available).
