Replacing a broken panel
This is what most people come here for, and it is usually simpler than it looks. Take the broken panel out, measure the opening it came from, and order glass to those sizes. If the panel is already smashed, measure the aperture between the clamps or the channel and allow the clearance the system was built with, or send us a photograph of the balustrade and we will tell you what to order.
Toughened glass cannot be cut or drilled once it has been through the furnace. Every edge, hole and notch is done beforehand, so a panel 5mm too big is scrap rather than something to trim. Measure the opening in three places and work to the smallest. It is worth ten minutes.
Getting the glass right
Thickness and type are not interchangeable. 10mm toughened is the standard infill for a framed balustrade, where posts and a handrail carry the load and hold the panel. A frameless run with no handrail needs laminated glass, so that a broken pane is held together by the interlayer and the barrier keeps working, which is what BS 6180 expects. If you are not certain which your balustrade is, ask before you order.
Frosted privacy glass and tinted glass are available in the same thicknesses, and are worth considering on a screen or where a balustrade overlooks a neighbour.
Clamps, posts and fixings
The clamps we sell are the ones we use on our own installations rather than a cheaper parallel range. Clamp choice depends on the glass thickness and on what you are fixing to: flat back clamps for a flat post or wall, curved back for round tube, and the right screw for steel, timber or masonry, which are three different things. Getting the screw wrong is the most common reason a clamp will not pull up square.
Building from scratch
If you are making your own balustrade rather than repairing ours, be clear about what it has to do. A barrier guarding a drop of more than 600mm has to meet the loadings in BS 6180, and that is a function of the posts, the fixings and the substrate as much as the glass. Components bought individually carry no system certification. Where the balustrade is guarding a fall, a complete tested system is the safer route, and our building regulations guide explains why.
Not a standard size?
This is made to order in our own Sheffield workshop, so it can just as easily be made to your dimensions instead. Send a photo and rough sizes and we will price it.
