Clean Design Without a Handrail
Our post and glass balustrade system without a handrail is designed to maximise openness and maintain clear sightlines. It is commonly supplied for outdoor areas where customers want a safety barrier that looks modern and feels light, without compromising strength.
The system uses glass balustrade posts (balustrade posts) fixed securely to the base using base plates and bolts. Glass panels are held between posts using glass clamps, creating a clean, structured look that suits a wide range of projects.
Stainless Steel Posts, Glass Panels and Components
This system is manufactured using stainless steel posts and safety glass panels designed for long-term use. Our stainless steel grade options are suited to outdoor environments and can be supplied in brushed finishes for a modern appearance.
Glass balustrade panels are supplied in toughened glass or toughened safety glass, depending on the project. Panels are cut to size and can be supplied with polished edges for a clean finish. Clear glass is the most popular choice for post and glass balustrades, but we can also advise on other suitable options based on the application.
All fixings, clamps, posts, and key components are supplied to help ensure compatibility and good communication between specification and fitting.

Glass Balustrade Systems for Different Types of Projects
Post and glass balustrades work well for different types of projects where you need a safe barrier but want to keep a sense of space. This is one of the most versatile glass balustrade systems because it suits both indoor and outdoor areas and can be adapted for different applications.
Common projects include:
-
Patios and terraces
-
Decking in gardens
-
Indoor areas such as landings
-
Straight runs and corner layouts
If your project includes stairs or you need handrails for additional support, there may be other systems in our range better suited. We can advise on which solution matches your layout, safety needs, and budget.
Building Regulations and Structural Requirements
Building regulations and local building regulations can affect the glass specification and the total height required for your balustrade. If the balustrade is protecting a raised area, safety regulations may require laminated safety glass or an alternative option, particularly where no handrail is fitted.
Structural requirements also matter. Posts must be fixed into a solid base such as concrete, steel, or suitable timber, using the correct base plates, bolts, and fixings. The surface must be stable and built to take the load safely and in accordance with guidance.
If you’re unsure what glass or fixing method is suitable, contact our team, and we’ll advise based on your project details.

What You’ll Need
To install post glass balustrades, you’ll typically require:
-
Stainless steel posts with base plates
-
Glass clamps and suitable fixings
-
Toughened glass panels (or alternative safety glass as required)
-
Drill, spirit level and tape measure
-
Suction cups for handling glass
-
String line or laser level for alignment
-
Suitable bolts for concrete, timber, or steel
Exact tools and methods can vary depending on the environment and base type.
Planning and Post Spacing
Measure the full length of the run and confirm the surface is level and suitable. Post spacing is typically 1000mm to 1200mm. Your spacing and glass thickness should match the total height and intended use, especially for outdoor areas or balconies.
Installing Posts and Glass Panels
Posts should be installed first using the correct fixings for your base. Once installed, measure for glass panels and then fit the glass into the clamps. Tighten clamps evenly and check alignment across the run.
