FAQs

What height should a balustrade be in the UK?

In the UK, internal balustrades such as staircases must be a minimum of 900mm high, while external balconies, decking, and raised platforms must be at least 1100mm high. All installations are completed in line with current UK Building Regulations.

Are glass banisters and glass railings safe for balconies?

Yes. Glass balustrades are extremely safe when manufactured and installed correctly. We use toughened or laminated safety glass designed to meet structural loading and impact requirements for both residential and commercial settings.

Do glass balustrades need a handrail?

Not always. Some frameless and channel-mounted systems do not require a handrail, while others include one for added rigidity and comfort. The requirement depends on system design and location.

What thickness of glass is used for balustrades?

Glass thickness varies based on application and system type. Frameless and point-fixing systems typically use laminated safety glass, while framed systems may use toughened glass infill panels.

Do balustrades have to meet building regulations?

Yes. All balustrades must comply with UK Building Regulations covering height, strength, load resistance, and fixing methods. Compliance is assessed for every project before installation.

Can glass balustrades be fitted to existing balconies or decking?

Yes. Glass balustrades can often be retrofitted to existing structures following a site survey to confirm fixing suitability and structural integrity.

How long does balustrade installation take?

Most residential installations are completed within one to two days, depending on system type and site conditions.

Do you cover Rochdale and surrounding areas?

Yes. We are based in Rochdale and provide balustrade installation across Greater Manchester and surrounding locations.
