Glass Balustrade Thickness
The thickness of glass used in balustrades is crucial for both safety and performance. It varies depending on where and how the balustrade is installed.
Common Glass Thicknesses
10mm toughened glass
Typically used for internal balustrades with additional support (e.g. posts or handrails)
12mm toughened glass
A popular choice for both internal and some external systems, offering extra strength
15mm–21.5mm laminated glass
Used for frameless or structural balustrades, especially where no handrail is present
Toughened vs Laminated Glass
Toughened glass
Heat-treated for strength — if broken, it shatters into small, less harmful pieces
Laminated glass
Two layers of glass bonded with a plastic interlayer — holds together if broken (safer for height/external use)
Glass Balustrade Measurements Accurate measurements are essential to ensure your glass balustrade fits perfectly and meets safety standards. Every installation is made to measure, based on the specific layout of your space.
Width (Length)
The total distance the balustrade will cover
Measured along staircases, balconies, or edges
Height
Internal balustrades: typically 900mm–1100mm
External/balconies: usually 1100mm minimum (UK regulations)
Stair Angles
For staircases, the angle and rise of the stairs must be measured
Ensures glass panels fit neatly along the slope
Fixing Points
Where the glass will be secured (floor, side mount, posts)
Important for structural strength and positioning
Important Considerations
Measurements must comply with UK building regulations
Allow space for fittings, brackets, or channels
Glass is manufactured precisely — even small errors can affect installation
