Patio Balustrades

A patio balustrade is a protective barrier installed around the edge of a patio. It is typically used where there’s a raised area, a level change, or a drop that needs to be safely enclosed. In addition to ensuring everyone’s safety, patio balustrades can also provide a luxurious touch to your outdoor space without obstructing views.

Yes, absolutely. Glass balustrades are a very popular choice for patio spaces, as they can provide a secure barrier without blocking out the surrounding view.

When installed correctly, patio glass balustrades are extremely safe. All our patio glass panels are made from toughened safety glass, which is significantly stronger than standard glass and is designed to withstand everyday knocks and impacts. In the rare event that the glass breaks, our toughened glass is designed to shatter into small, blunt pieces rather than sharp shards. This greatly minimises the risk of serious injury.

For a raised patio, we would highly recommend a frameless glass balustrade system. While it can provide you with strong and secure edge protection, one of its primary benefits is that it comes without a bulky frame, meaning you get uninterrupted views of your garden or surrounding landscape rather than having your outlook broken up by posts or rails.

Yes, they can. All our external glass balustrades are designed to be compatible with a wide range of surfaces, including timber and composite decking, so you can add a stylish and secure edge to your raised patio or decking area without a problem.

When installing glass balustrades on decking, it is still important to ensure the surface is structurally sound and able to support the fixings, as this will affect the stability and safety of your balustrade over time.

All our patio balustrades are manufactured using toughened safety glass, which is safe, durable, and designed to withstand the demands of everyday outdoor use. We also offer toughened and laminated glass options, both of which are available in four different thicknesses, including 12mm, 15mm, 17.5mm, and 21.5mm.

The cost of a glass balustrade for a patio can vary quite significantly depending on a couple of factors, including the length of the balustrade, the type of system you choose (such as frameless, post & rail, or spigot), the thickness of the glass required, and whether you opt for an off-the-shelf or a fully bespoke solution.
