Glass Shop Online supplied 10mm clear toughened glass for a low-level external balustrade in Wales. The glass was installed into a post-and-rail system by the client’s contractor, delivering a clean, modern finish while meeting all safety requirements.
Project Overview
This external balustrade project was located in Wales and involved a low-level barrier around a raised terrace / garden area. The client wanted a simple, frameless-infill solution that would blend with the surrounding architecture while providing safe edge protection in an exposed outdoor setting.
Product Specification
- Type: Low-level external balustrade (infill panels)
- Glass: 10mm clear toughened glass
- System: Post and rail (installed by others)
- Finish: Polished edges, clear toughened
10mm clear toughened glass was chosen as the ideal balance of strength, clarity, and cost for this low-level application. All panels were supplied with polished edges for a premium look and safe handling.
Client Requirements
The client in Wales needed:
- A low-level external balustrade suitable for garden/terrace edge protection
- Maximum transparency to preserve views
- Full compliance with UK Building Regulations for external barriers
- Easy integration into a post-and-rail system being installed by their contractor
- Fast supply and reliable delivery to Wales
Solution Delivered
We recommended and supplied **10mm clear toughened glass** panels, precision-cut to the exact sizes provided. This thickness is more than adequate for low-level balustrade infills where the posts and rails provide the main structural support. The toughened glass offers excellent impact resistance and safety performance while maintaining a completely unobstructed view.
Delivery
All glass panels were carefully packaged with protective film and delivered directly to the site in Wales on the agreed date. The client’s installation team confirmed the panels arrived in perfect condition and fitted seamlessly into the post-and-rail system.
Outcome
The finished low-level balustrade provides safe, elegant edge protection while keeping the space light and open. The clear 10mm toughened glass integrates beautifully with the post-and-rail system, creating a modern, understated look that enhances the outdoor area.
