This system can meet UK Building Regulations (Approved Document K) — but the absence of a top rail requires careful design:
For fall heights over 600mm, the glass must be structurally capable of absorbing line loads (no deflection beyond safe limits).
Domestic settings: typically 10mm to 12mm toughened glass can be compliant if the area has low foot traffic and post spacing is correct.
For higher-load or public spaces, a top rail or capping rail may be required to meet safety standards.
All glass used should meet BS 6180:2011 and EN 12600 standards for structural and impact performance.
🛑 Note: Always consult with a local building inspector prior to ordering. We do not provide regulatory certification.

"Best purchase ever!"
"We chose the post and glass balustrade without a handrail for our patio to keep the view open and modern — and it was the perfect decision. The design is sleek and lets in so much light, making the space feel much larger. The posts are solid and the glass looks amazing with no bulky handrail to interrupt the view.
