Common questions about domestic balustrade

WHERE CAN I USE IT?

Domestic glass balustrade can be installed in a variety of locations around the home and garden, so long as it can be fixed to a concrete or steel substrate. Popular uses include interior or exterior staircases, balcony privacy screening and windbreaks, swimming pool fencing, protection from floor-level changes, to define walkways and also Juliet balconies.

WHEN IS IT NEEDED?

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 domestic situations, a balustrade is required to protect against a difference in floor level that is greater than 600mm. 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.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

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 1.5 or 3-metre lengths (although 6-metre are sometimes available).
