A frameless glass balustrade system for balconies, decking, staircases and terraces, built from 10mm toughened safety glass and 316 marine-grade stainless steel posts. No handrail, no frame — just a clean, uninterrupted glass line that keeps the view open while meeting the strength and safety standard the job demands.
Every post is 316 grade, the same stainless specified for coastal and marine environments, so it resists corrosion where lower grades won't last. Suitable indoors or out, and rated for use within ten miles of the sea.
What you are ordering
Glass panels and posts are sold individually, not as a fixed kit — choose the panel widths and post types your specific run needs from the selector above. This means no bespoke cutting, no waiting on a made-to-measure order, and no paying for a fixed kit that doesn't quite fit your space.
Key features
-
10mm toughened safety glass — polished on all four edges with radiused corners, CE marked, and manufactured to final size before toughening for a guaranteed safe edge.
-
316 marine-grade stainless steel posts — brushed satin finish, rated for coastal sea-spray zones, built to outlast lower-grade 304 alternatives.
-
Flush glass line — 1100mm posts with 1000mm high glass, so the glass finishes level with the top of the post for a clean, contemporary sightline.
-
Four post types included — end posts (two clamps), centre posts (four clamps), corner posts (four clamps) and angle posts, so you can build straight runs, corners, and non-standard angles from one system.
-
Thirteen panel widths — from 300mm to 1500mm, covering most balcony, staircase and terrace runs without custom glass.
Sizing your run
Each post takes up 85mm of your total run. To work out how many posts and what panel widths you need:
Total run = (number of posts × 85mm) + (combined width of your glass panels)
Measure your full run first, then divide it into panels using the widths available. Where a run doesn't split evenly, it's usually better to vary one panel slightly than leave an awkward gap at either end.
A 4–15mm expansion gap is left between the glass edge and each clamp, and a 100mm gap is designed in at the base — both by design, to allow for thermal movement, drainage and easier cleaning underneath.

Installation notes
- Fix every post to a solid foundation through all base plate holes — base plates are 100mm diameter (42.4mm tube) or 120mm diameter (48.3mm tube). Fixings aren't supplied, since the right fixing depends on whether you're going into concrete, brick, timber or decking.
- Tighten glass clamps by hand only — never with power tools. Over-tightening is one of the most common causes of stress-related glass failure.
- Full step-by-step instructions, including fixing recommendations by substrate, are in the free installation guide above — read it before you order if you're unsure what your site needs.
Before you order
This is the no-handrail system. Our handrail system uses 980mm posts, 900mm glass and different clamp fittings — the two ranges are not interchangeable, so check you're ordering from the right listing if a handrail is part of your plan.
It's the installer's and client's responsibility to ensure the finished installation meets the Building Regulations and British Standards that apply to your project — requirements vary with the height of the drop and whether the building is domestic, commercial or public. Large, fragile items are delivered by specialist freight courier to mainland UK addresses.
