Glass balustrades are incredibly versatile and can be used anywhere in the home where you would use a traditional balustrade or railing system. The advantages are:
- No loss of view: whether it be your garden, pool, entertaining area or surroundings
- Versatility: as they are available in so many different framing and fixing options and in different colours and textures
- Safety: made from thick tempered glass, which is very difficult to break or crack, In the extremely rare occasion that it does break, it does not break into sharp shards. Their safety and durability makes them absolutely ideal for areas where children will be, and means that they can stand up to just about any conditions.
- Low Maintenance and Durability: posts or fittings that hold the glass panels in place are made from materials that won’t corrode, such as marine grade stainless steel or powder coated aluminium. All you need to do is to clean the balustrade occasionally using a mild detergent or stainless steel cleaner.

2) How do i maintain and look after my glass and stainless steel balustrades?
Glass Balustrades
- Clean regularly to remove dirt and contaminants from glass by washing them as well as the powder coated or steel fixings with a mild detergent and soft cloth. Rinse the detergent off afterwards with fresh water. If you want, you can use a soft cloth to dry the balustrade to a clear, streak free finish. Try to avoid using strong cleaning products, abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- You may wish to apply some form of protection to your glass balustrades. This will stop damage occurring, and also make it much easier to clean your glass. You can treat the glass with a special wax that reduces how often and how long it takes to clean the glass. Another option is to use a protective glass coating which you can enquire with us about.
- Regularly check your glass balustrades to identify any damaged areas, any loose fixings or areas of loose glass, to ensure that gates within the balustrades work properly and so on. We provide a 10 year guarantee, so please give us a call if repairs need to be undertaken.
Stainless Steel Balustrades
- Use a stainless steel cleaner or mild detergent with a soft cloth along the grain of the stainless steel.
