Mezzanine Balustrade

Planning a Mezzanine Balustrade. Origin Architectural are specialists in made to measure glass balustrades at affordable prices.

Having a glass balustrade on any mezzanine floor is the perfect way to modernise your home. It adds space and light to any home to work space.

Choosing the right mezzanine balustrade for you

Our most popular solution is to have frameless glass. Easy to fit and completely transparent, it adds light and space to any interior. When fitting frameless balustrade to your interior you should think about the following:

• If the balustrade is in your home, then the height of the barrier should be 900mm. At 1100mm (which is the requirement for an outside balustrade) the balustrade will be too high and enclosed.
• If you are not having a handrail then you should use a laminate glass. For most domestic applications 13.5mm toughened laminate is sufficient.

Frameless Point Fixings

As an alternative to frameless channel,  you could use stainless steel bolts. Otherwise known as point fixings or stand offs they are another alterative to frameless channel. They give you the same frameless look, you just need to fix beneath finished floor level. 

When choosing the correct point fixing for you:

• The point fixing has a 50mm head and variety of thicknesses of back plate. They can be found here. https://www.originarchitectural.co.uk/category/glass-adapters/. You should make sure that the back plate is thick enough to clear any obstacles that you may have
• As standard they are supplied with an M10 thread to allow you to resin fix the point fixing. If you are fixing to another material such as timber we can supply duel threaded screws.
