CUSTOM GLASS BALCONy & BALUSTRADE Installers
COMPREHENSIVE STRUCTURAL CALCS & REPORTS
A custom glass balustrade balcony is more than just a design feature – it’s a safe, stylish, and durable addition to your home. At 360 GSS, we design, fabricate, and install bespoke glass balustrade balconies that combine modern aesthetics with engineering precision. Whether you’re looking for a frameless glass balcony, a framed balustrade system, or a Juliet balustrade balcony, every installation is supported by full structural reports, engineered fixings, and a 10-year guarantee for complete peace of mind.

FRAMED & FRAMELESS GLASS BALCONIES & BALUSTRADES
Frameless Glass Balustrade Balconies
For a clean, modern aesthetic, frameless glass balustrades provide uninterrupted views with recessed or hidden fixings. Perfect for terraces, Juliet balconies, and outdoor spaces where maximising light and outlook is essential.

Framed Balustrade Balconies
A robust yet stylish choice, framed glass balustrades use high-quality steel or aluminium posts with glass infills. This option delivers reliable safety while still allowing plenty of natural light and visibility.
Hybrid Balustrade Balconies
Blending the strength of steel with the elegance of glass, hybrid balustrades offer the best of both worlds. They’re an excellent solution for larger balconies or projects that require both durability and a refined finish.
JULIET BALUSTRADE BALCONIES
We design and install Juliet balustrade balconies ranging from standard sizes through to extra-wide spans of well over 4 metres. Our expertise in structural steel fabrication allows us to create safe, durable balcony systems that aren’t possible with off-the-shelf solutions.
Every installation includes a structural engineer’s report covering the glass, fixings, and supporting framework, giving you complete confidence in long-term strength and compliance.
To personalise your balcony, we also offer custom handrail options in stainless steel, aluminium, or powder-coated finishes to complement your property’s style.
Walk-out Glass Balustrade Balconies

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do You Offer a Full Glass Balustrade Installation Service?
Yes, 360 GSS provides a complete glass balustrade installation service across the South East and beyond. Our team of highly trained installers are experienced in fitting structural and frameless glass balustrades to the highest standards, ensuring full compliance with UK building regulations. Whether for balconies, staircases, patios or terraces, we manage everything from site preparation to final safety checks.
As part of our full-service offering, we also design, fabricate and install custom structural steel subframes and composite decking. This allows your balcony or terrace to be installed without penetrating the existing structure, removing the risk of water ingress and thermal bridging.
All our installations include full structural calculations and detailed engineering reports, meeting and often exceeding the requirements of building control. With 360 GSS, you benefit from a fully integrated service that is safe, compliant and visually outstanding.
Do You Carry Out Site Surveys for Glass Balustrades?
Absolutely. We offer professional site surveys for all our frameless and structural glass balustrade systems. A detailed survey ensures accurate measurements, identifies any potential challenges, and helps us design a system that perfectly complements your property. This service is particularly important for bespoke installations or where structural support is required.
Is Your Glass Balustrade System Supplied Cut to Size?
Yes, all glass panels and metalwork supplied by 360 GSS are cut to size based on the exact specifications from your survey or architectural drawings. Whether it’s curved glass, angled panels, or standard sizes, our glass balustrades are precision-engineered for a flawless fit, saving time on-site and improving overall safety and performance.
Do You Manufacture Custom Balcony Structures?
We do. As part of our full-service offering, 360 GSS fabricates custom balcony subframes using structural steel. This is especially beneficial for cantilevered or bolt-on balcony installations that require non-penetrative mounting or unique engineering solutions. Every structure is designed with compliance and longevity in mind.
Are Your Glass Balustrade Systems Structurally Approved?
Yes, our systems are designed and tested as structural glass balustrades. Whether using toughened and laminated glass with structural base channels or framed post systems, each setup meets or exceeds British Standards. We also provide structural engineer reports required for building control approval.
Can Water Drain Under the Glass Balustrade Bottom Rail?
Yes, our systems are designed with integrated water drainage solutions. Where bottom rails or channels are used, we ensure that weep holes or spacer systems allow for proper drainage, preventing water build-up and long-term damage to the decking or base structure. This is essential for outdoor balcony balustrades exposed to the elements.
Do Your Glass Balustrade Systems Comply with UK Building Regulations?
Yes. All 360 GSS glass balustrade systems are fully compliant with UK Building Regulations, including Part K and BS 6180. We use toughened or laminated safety glass and approved fixing methods. Our team also works closely with structural engineers to ensure every installation is safe, durable, and regulation-compliant.
What Glass Thickness Options Are Available for Balustrades?
We supply glass panels in thicknesses ranging from 10mm to 23.5mm, depending on the application. Frameless balustrades typically use 17.5mm or 23.5mm toughened and laminated glass, while post systems can accommodate 10mm or 12mm panels. The glass is processed to meet EN12150 and EN14449 standards for strength and safety.
Are Glass Balustrades Expensive?
Glass balustrades can be more expensive than timber or metal railings, but they offer unmatched durability, safety and contemporary design. The overall cost depends on factors such as glass type (toughened or laminated), system size, handrails, fixings and whether a structural subframe or decking is required.
At 360 GSS, we provide a complete service including design, fabrication, installation, and structural steel subframes where needed. While this represents a premium investment, it ensures full building regulation compliance, long-term performance and a flawless finish.
Importantly, a professionally installed glass balustrade can also add up to 12 percent to your property’s value, making it a smart choice for both style and return on investment.
Are Glass Balustrades Safe?
Yes, glass balustrades are very safe when designed, manufactured and installed correctly. At 360 GSS, we use toughened or toughened-laminated safety glass that meets British Standards (BS 6180), offering high impact resistance and ensuring the glass stays in place even if cracked.
Our systems are fully compliant with UK building regulations and include structural calculations and reports where required. We also design non-penetrative steel subframes and drainage solutions to prevent water ingress and thermal bridging, protecting both your property and the integrity of the installation.
When fitted by professionals, a glass balustrade is not only a stylish feature, but also a strong, safe and long-lasting barrier for balconies, staircases and terraces.
