Benefits

The case for side fixing points

Designed, fabricated and installed by one team from our Wembley workshop — so the detail you sign off is the detail that gets fitted.

Frees up the floor

Fixing from the side of the structure leaves the deck or landing clear and keeps the balustrade above the floor line.

Minimalist by design

A handful of discreet stainless fittings is all you see — the glass does the work.

Works inside and out

Suited to domestic balconies and stairs as well as offices, function rooms and showrooms.

Safety glass throughout

Clear or obscured toughened laminated glass, so the panel holds together if it's ever damaged.

Compliant heights

1100mm outdoors and 900mm indoors from finished floor level.

Top rail if you want one

Add a top rail for a hand-hold, or leave the glass edge exposed for the cleanest look.
