Glass Balustrades

Glass balustrades from Trent Glass are structural safety-glass barrier systems for staircases, balconies, mezzanines, terraces, and Juliet windows. Manufactured from toughened laminated glass (typically 21.5 mm or 25.5 mm) with our choice of channel-set frameless, spigot-fixed, or top-rail systems, our balustrades are engineered to BS 6180 and CWCT TN 66 UK load requirements.

Each balustrade is delivered with structural calculations and independent testing certificates when required for building control sign-off. Bespoke shapes, curved panels, and integrated LED options available.
