Balustrade Project in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire

A grand balustrade project was completed in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire.

We’ve supplied a truly exceptional glass balustrade for a project in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire. The frameless channel system fits so harmoniously within the customer’s project. The balustrade project was designed and supplied by ourselves.

STAGE 1 – DESIGN OF THE BALUSTRADE SYSTEM

Our client engaged us early on in their project to get a price from us based on various glass balustrade solutions. The client wanted a balustrade solution that was frameless and safe, complying with all the required build control regulations. As the glass balustrade was to be installed into steel – we knew that a frameless channel system was a safe option.

STAGE 2 – CHOOSING THE RIGHT GLASS BALUSTRADE SYSTEM

Not all glass balustrades are equal and choosing the right balustrade system is very important here are some of the important points you need to be aware of are:

Single Occupancy Residential – External glass balustrade system – loading required is 0.74KN UDL (uniform distributed load). This is a very important loading factor as it means the glass balustrade must be of a particular strength to pass building regulations (search more about BS6180) or call our team on 0113 277 4316 to discuss which line load will be applicable to your application.

STAGE 3 – MANUFACTURE

The manufacturing process is very important as it impacts the final product. With our wealth of experience in metal and glass – our manufacturing team get busy processing!

STAGE 4 – INSTALLING A FRAMELESS BALUSTRADE CHANNEL AND GLASS

Installing a glass balustrade generally takes a day or two depending on the size of the project. The most important part of installing a frameless glass balustrade is using the appropriate tools and following the required safety procedures. Always seek help from a professional during your installation.

Handling glass for a frameless balustrade will always be challenging. You need to think this through carefully as access can be a major issue and also bear in mind that frameless balustrade glass is certainly not light!
