How Much Do Frameless Glass Balustrades Cost in the UK?
If you’re planning to install frameless glass balustrades in your home or business, one of the first questions you’ll ask is: how much will it cost? This guide will help you understand the typical price ranges, what influences the cost, and how to get the best value for your investment.

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.

Typical Cost Breakdown
Type of Balustrade / Price per Linear Meter (Supply & Installation)
Basic Frameless Glass Panels: £200 - £250
Frameless with Handrail: £250 - £320
Semi-Frameless (Glass with Top Rail): £250 - £350
Note that smaller projects may have additional setup fees, and prices vary by region and complexity.
