Glass Balustrades in Mansfield
Premier Glass Balustrades design and install bespoke external glass balustrades for domestic properties in Mansfield. Whether installed on balconies, raised decking, or garden retaining areas, glass balustrades provide a safe, modern barrier without blocking views or natural light.
Where Glass Balustrades Are Used
External glass balustrades are commonly used to protect changes in level around the home. In Mansfield, this often includes first-floor balconies, raised decking areas, terraces, and garden retaining walls.
Glass provides a continuous safety barrier while maintaining open views, making it ideal for outdoor spaces designed to be enjoyed year-round.
Fixing Methods for Glass Balustrades
External balustrades require fixing systems suitable for outdoor conditions. Depending on the structure, glass panels may be surface mounted, side fixed, or installed into a base channel system.
Each fixing method is selected based on the supporting structure to ensure long-term stability and a clean visual finish.
Safety and Glass Specification
Safety is the primary function of any external glass balustrade. Glass types and thicknesses are specified to suit external use, taking into account height, span, fixing method, and exposure.
Laminated glass is commonly specified for frameless balustrades to provide additional reassurance and ensure the barrier remains intact even if damaged.
Balancing Safety with Views and Design
One of the main advantages of glass balustrades is their ability to provide protection without visually enclosing the space. This makes them particularly effective for balconies and elevated outdoor areas.
Design options range from frameless glass systems to balustrades incorporating a discreet handrail, allowing the balustrade to suit both modern and traditional homes in Mansfield.
Design, Supply and Installation
Every external glass balustrade installed by Premier Glass Balustrades follows a clear process. This includes a site assessment, accurate measurements, glass manufactured to specification, and professional installation.
