Types of Glass Balustrades We Design and Install

We design and install balustrading for residential and commercial properties across Sevenoaks. Each system is designed around your property’s structure, your aesthetic preferences, and British Standard safety requirements.

Frameless Glass Balustrades

Seamless glass panels with minimal visible fixings. Popular for staircase upgrades in period properties on Granville Road and for garden terraces on elevated plots in Kippington.

See our dedicated frameless glass balustrades guide for full system detail.

Semi-Frameless Systems

Glass panels with a top handrail and posts spaced at intervals. Combines structural strength with clean sightlines. Ideal for staircases where a continuous handrail is preferred and for family homes with young children.

Framed Glass Balustrading

Full framework in stainless steel or powder-coated aluminium. Offers maximum structural support. Works well on traditional architecture and inter-war properties common in Sevenoaks Weald.

Application Types

We install staircase glass balustrades (our most requested application), outdoor terraces and raised gardens, balconies and Juliet balconies, and glass pool fences.

Call 01732 444478 to discuss which system suits your property best.

Safety and Building Regulations Compliance

All glass balustrading we install complies with BS 6180 (structural safety) and BS 6206 (safety glass standards). We coordinate directly with Sevenoaks District Council Building Control to ensure your installation meets all regulatory requirements.

Toughened and Laminated Glass

We use toughened and laminated glass specified for the application. Whether that is a staircase, garden terrace balustrade, or Juliet balcony, glass thickness is calculated for the position.

Typical specifications are 10 to 12mm toughened for internal staircases, and 17.5mm to 21.5mm toughened laminated for frameless channel-fixed systems and balconies.

Structural Assessments

Our structural assessments calculate load-bearing requirements and identify suitable fixing points before installation begins. This ensures your balustrade is safe, secure, and compliant with British Standards.

Conservation Areas

Parts of Sevenoaks town centre and several surrounding villages sit within conservation areas. Glass balustrades are generally well received by conservation officers because they are reversible and far less visually intrusive than timber or metal alternatives.

We will advise on any consent requirements at survey stage.

Glass Balustrade FAQs

How much does a glass balustrade cost in Sevenoaks?

Costs vary by system type, length, and glass specification. A typical internal staircase in a Sevenoaks property runs from approximately £1,800 to £3,500 for a frameless system covering 3 to 4 metres. Outdoor terrace guarding costs roughly £200 to £400 per linear metre. We provide a precise quote after a free site survey. Call 01732 444478 to arrange one.

Do I need Building Control approval for a glass balustrade?

For a straightforward staircase spindle replacement, Building Control notification is generally not required. If your project forms part of a loft conversion, extension, or structural alteration, approval is needed. We advise at survey stage and coordinate all paperwork where required.

Do glass balustrades suit period properties?

Yes. Frameless and semi-frameless glass systems work extremely well in Victorian and Edwardian properties across The Vine and Kippington. Glass preserves the sense of space and height typical of these homes. It is also far more sympathetic to original features than heavy framed alternatives.

How long does installation take?

A single staircase flight typically takes 4 to 6 hours to install. A garden terrace with 8 to 10 metres of guarding takes 2 to 3 days. Manufacturing your glass panels typically takes 3 to 4 weeks from confirmed order. We will give you a project-specific timeline at the design stage.

Do you work in conservation areas?

Yes. Glass balustrades are usually acceptable to conservation officers because they are reversible and low-impact visually. Properties in certain parts of Sevenoaks town and the surrounding AONB villages may have additional requirements. We will check this with you at survey stage.

Can you fit glass over an existing timber staircase?

Yes. We retrofit glass balustrades onto most existing timber staircases by removing old spindles and working around original posts. No structural changes to the staircase are needed.

Are glass balustrades safe with children?

Yes. All installations meet child safety gap requirements under Building Regulations. Laminated glass (21.5mm) is recommended for families with young children. It holds together if broken rather than shattering. A continuous top handrail provides reliable grip for children on stairs.
