Glass Balconies & Balustrades in Southeast England

Q: Do you design and install bespoke glass balconies across London & the South East?

Yes. We survey, design, supply and install glass balconies and balustrades throughout London, Surrey, Hertfordshire, Kent, East & West Sussex, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire — including Juliet balconies, terrace balustrades and stair balustrades.

Q: What types of glass balcony systems do you offer (Juliet, frameless, post & rail)?

Juliet (balconette) for full-height doors, frameless channel/track systems for uninterrupted views, and post & handrail systems for terraces, patios and staircases. Corner, fascia-mount and top-mount options are available.

Q: Is the glass toughened and laminated for safety and compliance?

Yes. We specify toughened laminated safety glass (usually 13.5–21.5 mm depending on spans and loads) so panes remain bonded and retained if broken — essential for guarding and fall protection.

Q: Do your glass balconies meet UK building standards and load requirements (e.g. BS 6180)?

Our systems are designed to meet relevant UK barrier loading and guarding requirements and typical best-practice guidance such as BS 6180. We can provide specification details for Building Control.

Q: Which finishes and hardware options are available for frames and handrails?

316 stainless steel (brushed or mirror), aluminium channels (anodised or powder-coated RAL), and minimal or full handrails (stainless, timber or capping profiles). Coastal-grade options available.

Q: Can I choose tinted, frosted or privacy glass for my balustrade or Juliet balcony?

Yes. Clear, low-iron (extra clear), grey/bronze tinted, frosted/etched, plus privacy bands to screen lower sections while keeping views at eye level.

Q: How are frameless glass balustrades fixed — top-mount or fascia-mount channels?

Both options are available. We use structural base channels top-mounted to the slab or fascia-mounted to the edge, with appropriate anchors, chemical fixings and on-site adjustment for line and level.

Q: Do you handle surveys, structural checks and Building Control documentation if needed?

Yes. We survey, confirm substrate suitability and liaise with your contractor, architect or Building Control. Manufacturer data, load tables and install details can be provided for sign-off.

Q: What maintenance is required and how do I keep glass balustrades clean outdoors?

Wash periodically with mild detergent and a soft cloth. Optional hydrophobic coatings reduce water marks. Rinse hardware in coastal locations and inspect fixings routinely.

Q: What are typical lead times from survey to installation for glass balconies?

After survey and approvals, manufacture typically takes 3–5 weeks depending on system, finish and glass specification. Installation time varies by access and run length.

Energy-efficient homes cost
less to run Get the most out of your investment with
Instant Glass upgrades

Single-glazed windows on older or period properties are not made using
low-emissivity coated glass and do not offer energy-saving benefits; the
same goes for the old-style double-glazed units. Save money on monthly
bills and increase thermal insulation with double or triple-glazed
windows that prevent heat from escaping your home. Depending on
your requirements, we will advise you on the best way forward in
upgrading your windows and doors.
