Using toughened glass panels fixed between stainless steel posts, these systems offer a more structured appearance than frameless designs while meeting current UK safety requirements.

Stainless Steel Post Balustrade Options
Stainless steel posts with frameless glass infill
A handrail-free option creates a cleaner, more minimal appearance. Where the fall height does not exceed 600mm, 10mm toughened glass can be used, offering a cost-effective solution without the need for a handrail.
If the fall height exceeds 600mm, thicker 11.5mm toughened glass is required to meet building regulations, allowing the system to remain handrail-free while maintaining full compliance.
Stainless steel posts, handrail & 10mm toughened glass
Where a handrail is installed, this system can use 10mm toughened glass while fully complying with UK building regulations. The handrail provides the required structural support, making this a popular option for staircases, balconies, and raised areas where guidance and reassurance are needed.
We assess every installation individually and specify the correct glass thickness and configuration to ensure full compliance with UK safety standards.
When This System Is the Right Choice
Stainless steel post and handrail glass balustrades are ideal where a clearly defined barrier and visible handrail are required. This system is commonly chosen for commercial buildings, apartment blocks, staircases and exposed external areas where durability, guidance and long-term performance are important.
Compliance & Safety
All stainless steel post balustrade systems are specified and installed to meet current UK building regulations. Glass thickness, handrail requirements and fixing methods are assessed based on fall height, location and use, ensuring each installation is safe, compliant and fit for purpose.
Our team regularly installs stainless steel glass balustrades throughout Nottinghamshire and the East Midlands.
Cost Considerations
Costs vary depending on whether a handrail is required, the height of the installation and the glass thickness specified. Handrail-free systems at lower heights can be a more cost-effective option, while higher or commercial installations typically require additional components to meet compliance requirements. We provide clear guidance and transparent pricing following a site assessment.
