With over thirty years’ track record in the glass industry, our team at Abbey Glass Chester can expertly craft and install glass balustrades to your specifications and requirements.

What’s the Beauty of the Glass Balustrade?

Glass balustrades have particular benefits, aside from protecting users of the space from accidental falls. Surprisingly affordable, a glass balustrade is a stylish addition that keeps the room or space looking clean, open and bright. It allows light to bounce around the building, rather than blocking it as other typical building materials such as chrome, metal or iron would do. Also, it’s unobtrusive, so it does not look out of place in any setting, whether modern, contemporary or even more traditional. The design possibilities are extensive – the glass used can be patterned, opaque or textured, and it can be complemented with wood, stone or metal fixtures and fittings such as handrails, risers or banisters.

Easy Maintenance and Durable

Glass is a durable and strong building material, and any accidental scratches can easily be polished out. It’s also very simple to keep clean, using a specialist glass cleaner and a soft, lint-free cloth. What’s more, the construction utilises toughened safety glass, making it secure and safe. This type of glass is thick and tempered, so it won’t break except under extreme pressures. If it does shatter, it breaks into harmless fragments that have no sharp edges.

In a domestic setting, customers often find that glass balustrades add value to the home for future buyers.

Abbey Glass Chester also produces made-to-measure glass partitions for use in offices and other business premises. These modern looking alternatives to walls preserve that open-plan, transparent feel while still allowing privacy during meetings and conversations.
