Why Choose 17.5mm Laminated Glass?
Safety-First Design
The laminated construction ensures the glass remains bonded even when shattered, offering a significantly higher level of protection than monolithic options such as 13.5mm Laminated Glass.
Compliance with Building Regulations
17.5mm laminated glass is widely specified for compliant residential balustrades and guarding, making it a reliable choice for both domestic and commercial projects.
Optical Clarity
Despite its thickness and strength, this glass delivers excellent clarity, preserving light flow and maintaining a clean, contemporary appearance.
Limitations
Not Suitable For
-
Fully frameless structural balustrades that exceed recommended height limits without additional engineering or support.
-
Long-span floor glass or walk-on glass applications.
Quick Rule of Thumb
For residential frameless balustrades and framed glass staircases, 17.5mm laminated glass is an excellent and widely compliant choice. If your project involves higher loads, wider spans, or more demanding environments, stepping up to 21.5mm Laminated Glass may be required.
