Glass panels with top rail support. Combines structural strength with clean sightlines. Ideal for staircases and higher balconies requiring additional reinforcement.
Framed Glass Balustrading

Safety & Building Regulations Compliance
All glass balustrading we install complies with BS 6180 (structural safety) and BS 6206 (safety glass standards). We coordinate directly with Swansea Council Building Control to ensure your installation meets all regulatory requirements.
We use toughened and laminated glass specified for the application — whether that's a staircase, decking balustrade, or Juliet balcony.
Our structural assessments calculate load-bearing requirements and identify suitable fixing points before installation begins.
For coastal properties in Mumbles, Langland and Caswell, we specify marine-grade stainless steel (316 grade) to resist salt air corrosion and maintain long-term performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need planning permission for a glass balustrade?
Most internal and replacement balustrades don't require planning permission.
New external balustrades may need approval, especially in conservation areas or on listed buildings.
What affects the cost of a glass balustrade?
System type (frameless costs more than framed), glass specifications, height and length, structural complexity, and finish choices all influence pricing.
How long does manufacture and installation take?
Manufacturing typically takes 3-4 weeks for toughened glass.
Installation usually takes 1-2 days depending on project size and complexity.
Can you work with listed buildings?
Yes. We have experience working with listed properties in Uplands and coordinating with conservation requirements.
We'll advise on what's permitted for your specific building.
What glass thickness do I need?
This depends on the application.
Staircase balustrades typically use 10-12mm toughened glass.
External decking and higher balustrades often require 15mm laminated glass for additional strength.
How do I clean and maintain glass balustrades?
Clean with warm water and a soft cloth.
Avoid abrasive cleaners on glass and stainless steel.
