All our glass products are manufactured to meet strict British Standards for safety and durability.
What are the UK building regulations for glass balustrades?
In the UK, glass balustrades must comply with specific building regulations to ensure safety and structural integrity. Key requirements include:
Height Requirements: For residential properties, internal balustrades should have a minimum height of 900mm, while external balustrades, such as those on balconies, should be at least 1100mm high.
Load-Bearing Standards: Balustrades must withstand certain horizontal loads to ensure they can resist pressure from people leaning against them. The required load capacity varies depending on the building type and usage.
Glass Specifications: The glass used should be toughened or laminated to prevent shattering upon impact, enhancing safety.
For comprehensive details on these regulations, you can refer to the UK government’s Approved Document K.
How much does a glass balustrade installation cost?
The cost of a glass balustrade installation depends on several factors, including the size of the area, the type of glass and fittings chosen, and whether any custom features such as LED lighting are included.

How long does it take to install a glass balustrade?
Installation times can vary depending on the complexity and size of the project. A typical residential glass balustrade can usually be installed within 1–2 days following the site survey and production of custom components. Our team will provide a clear timeline at the quotation stage.
What maintenance is required for glass balustrades?
Glass balustrades are low-maintenance and easy to care for. Regular cleaning with a non-abrasive glass cleaner will keep the panels looking their best.
