Post & Saddle Glass Balustrade with Handrail
One of our most sought-after styles of glass balustrade systems, the post with saddle glass balustrades boasts an elegant contemporary design. Crafted from grade 316 stainless steel with a grit brushed satin finish, our post and saddle balustrade system meets the BS 6180 standard with a 0.74kN rating. Independent static calculations confirm that this system is suitable for installation in high wind load areas, provided the appropriate fixing data is adhered to (extreme wind loads may require additional consideration). For comprehensive test data, please visit /important-documents-and-certification/.
The maximum height for this glass balustrade is 1150mm, and the maximum glass span is 1200mm. The system can be customised to different heights for an additional charge, and it is versatile enough to accommodate designs with corner angles other than 90 degrees.
The post and saddle glass balustrades are ideal for both internal and external use, with the 0.74kN rating covering all domestic applications and light industrial uses with limited footfall traffic.
For all floor-mounted applications, we utilise 10mm toughened glass. For side-mounted options, we employ 13mm toughened laminated glass with holes for security pins in the clamps. This complies with building regulations and ensures that if side-mounted panels were to break, there would be no fall hazard for pedestrians below, as the security pins will keep the panels securely in place until they are replaced.
When navigating stairs, we recommend considering the fascia-mounted glass balustrade posts (side-mounted option) for this section. While floor-mounted options are feasible, they incur higher charges for shaped glass panels.
