Creating safe spaces with our glass balustrades

SHS Blog  Creating safe spaces with our glass balustrades

Yes, our glass balustrades are aesthetically pleasing and yes, they can make any project look stunning. But our glass balustrades are most importantly an essential safety solution for hazardous areas.

The UK building regulation states that balustrades must be installed in all areas where people could be at risk of falling. Professionally installed glass balustrades are compliant with building regulations and incredibly safe, long-lasting, durable and prevent accidents.

Enhancing outdoor safety

The enhancement of added safety is priceless, especially in outdoor spaces that can pose several safety risks, such as raised patios, slippery pathways, pools or jacuzzies and hard-to-access steps. Our glass balustrades provide a strong safety solution for your home, garden, terrace, balcony or raised decking. Here’s how:

Maintaining clear views

Adding glass balustrades anywhere around your outdoor space enhances safety without obstructing the view. Our glass railings seamlessly blend into your outdoor environment, offering protection while maintaining the beauty of your surroundings.

Safe Pool Areas

A glass pool fence will make your pool area safer while also providing your outdoor space with a luxurious touch. Balustrades or handrails can be installed to help with entering and exiting the hot tub or moving around the wet floor safely.

Glass gates can also be installed to keep the pool area even safer by limiting access to children and pets.

Zoning out and protecting your space

Glass balustrade gates can also be used to zone out areas of your garden for extra protection, whether you want to keep the dining space protected from pets or want to make sure kids stay within sight, our balustrades offer a practical solution for any requirement.

Ease of access for all ages

Glass balustrades can make it easier and safer for elderly family members to navigate your garden or front entrance. Adding railings along your steps will instantly help with mobility and provide much-needed safety and clear views so you can keep an eye on when children are running up and down.

Securing raised decking

Raised decking requires sufficient safety measures due to its elevation. Installing balustrades around the entire deck is crucial to ensure the safety of children, guests and friends. Our glass railings provide the necessary protection to ensure everyone can enjoy the outdoor space safely.

 

Enhancing indoor safety

Glass banisters

Our glass balustrades are a very popular product for staircase banisters because of their durability and stylish look. The use of glass balustrades for staircases enhances safety and offers the very essential benefit of visual transparency, as also mentioned above, which means that you can easily keep an eye between the floor levels.

Mezzanine floor protection

Mezzanine floors require protection on all exposed edges for safety purposes. Our glass balustrades are frequently used for mezzanine floor balconies, adding safety and increasing existing floor space.

Extra add-ons

For extra stability, consider adding extra handrails to offer support on both sides of your staircase, for garden steps or pathways.

 

Our glass balustrades provide essential protection for various settings, ensuring compliance with safety regulations while enhancing your space.  Whether for outdoor or indoor use, our glass railings are a long-lasting investment for creating a safe environment.
