A new-build home with elevated views required a frameless glass balustrade for a raised entertainment area, allowing the owners to enjoy the beautiful views across the Wiltshire countryside. The requirement was for a clear glass balustrade that provided fall protection while preserving the panoramic scenery in which the home was nestled.
There are a few good practical ways to build a frameless glass balustrade, and one of the more secure options is to use a frameless glass balustrade channel.
The channel holds the glass in place using a clamping system involving the rail, guide seats or packers, and a wedge system. This secures the glass tightly, and the entire system can be installed from the inside—eliminating the need for external access or scaffolding.
The glass used for frameless glass balustrades is specified to suit building regulations and must be made up of atleast 2 x glass panels sandwiched together with a interlayer. in this instance the glass was 17.5mm in thickness
The measuring and installation was just under 3 days with a lead time of glass of around 3 weeks for supply
This property was just outside of Chippenham, Wiltshire
