What Are Frameless Glass Balustrades?

Frameless glass balustrades use toughened safety glass panels secured with minimal fixings to create a sleek, modern appearance. Unlike traditional balustrades with bulky frames, these designs maximize natural light and offer an unobstructed view, making them popular for staircases, balconies, terraces, and pool surrounds.

Factors Affecting Price

  • Glass Type & Thickness: Toughened glass (10-12mm) is standard; laminated or coated glass costs more.

  • Installation Complexity: Curved staircases or multiple corners increase labor time.

  • Location: Remote or urban areas may affect travel and labor costs.

  • Size & Height: Larger panels or multi-story installations require specialized fixings.

  • Additional Features: Handrails, decorative fixings, or coatings add to cost.
