What is a balustrade?
Our bespoke glass and stainless steel balustrades are installations that surround a balcony, patio, or staircase to support the handrail. The purpose of a balustrade is to provide protection and safety for those occupying the space. While they have been made from other materials, balustrades made from glass and steel are becoming increasingly popular as they offer modern and contemporary designs.
What types of balustrades are there?
Our glass and stainless-steel balustradescome in several design options. We can offer a base fixed frameless system or post and handrail with glass clamps. Our glass options are available in a variety of finishes and thicknesses. We provide a post and rail system using grade 316 stainless steel and 10mm toughened glass as standard, but other options are available..We provide this system tested to 0.74kn loading as standard to meet standard building regulations but load testing up to 3kn is available on request.
Are balustrades worth it?
We have seen our clients benefit from our bespoke balustrades first-hand. Here’s why they are such a popular choice…
All the materials that we use to manufacture our balustradescan withstand the elements and resist wear and tear. Steel and glass are known to be robust materials that can withstand all weather types and can support heavy loads.
Steel is designed to last a long time as it doesn’t degrade or expand and is resistant to pests. Furthermore, steel is known to be corrosion-resistant and isn’t susceptible to rust. This makes it a great choice for external balustrades as well as internal ones.
Our balustrades are incredibly easy to maintain and won’t succumb to rust, damage, peeling or flaking. All you may need to do is wipe them down from time to time to remove any debris or grime that has been collected on them.
Balustrades provide additional security to your balcony, patio and staircase. Balustrades work to stop individuals from falling over the edge. This means that you can have the peace of mind that those within your property are protected and secure.
One of the most common questions we are asked is: Do balustrades add value to a house? You’ll be pleased to know that the answer is yes! Homeowners can add up to 10% to the value of their homes by installing secure, high-quality balustrades.
