FULLY BESPOKE SYSTEMS
BUILT TO endure
ALL TYPES OF Balustrades & Balconies
Our capabilities include non-penetrative glass balustrades for roof terraces, extra-large Juliet balconies exceeding 4 metres, glass floor balconies, curved glass balustrades, and complex architectural installations. Every project is supported by structural calculations and technical reports, ensuring compliance with LABC approval and British Standards regulations including BS6180 and BS8579. From standalone balustrades to complete balcony packages incorporating steel subframe fabrication and integrated decking, we provide a fully coordinated service from design through to installation – built around safety, performance, and long-term reliability.
FRAMELESS BALUSTRADES
Frameless glass systems are ideal where uninterrupted views and clean architectural lines are a priority. By removing visible framework, the focus stays on the space, the light, and the surrounding environment.
We design and install fully bespoke frameless balustrades for balconies and terraces, engineered to meet structural requirements without compromising the visual outcome. Each system is tailored to the building, with carefully considered fixing methods, glass specification, and load performance.
- Base-fixed, side-fixed, and concealed fixing options
- Laminated and toughened safety glass for strength and compliance
- Suitable for Juliet balconies, walk-out systems, and roof terraces
- Designed to meet BS6180 and BS8579 with LABC approval
Every installation is supported by structural calculations and detailed surveying, ensuring a precise fit and long-term reliability. The result is a system that appears minimal, but performs exactly as it should.
STEEL POST BALUSTRADES
Steel post systems provide a defined, structured look while offering excellent strength and flexibility across a wide range of projects. They are often specified where additional support is required or where a more architectural frame is preferred.
We design and install bespoke steel post balustrades for balconies and terraces, combining high-quality glass with precisely fabricated steelwork. Each system is engineered to suit the structure, ensuring correct load performance, secure fixing, and long-term durability.
- Powder-coated or finished steel posts in a range of colours
- Toughened and laminated glass infill panels
- Top rail or frameless-style configurations available
- Suitable for balconies, terraces, staircases, and commercial settings
All systems are supported by structural calculations and detailed site surveying, ensuring compliance with BS standards and LABC requirements. The result is a robust, well-resolved solution that balances strength with a clean, considered finish.
WALK-OUT GLASS BALCONIES & TERRACES
Walk-out balconies and terraces create usable external space while maintaining a clean, open architectural feel. These systems require far more than just glass installation – structural performance, waterproofing, and fixing methods all need to be considered from the outset.
We design and install fully bespoke walk-out balcony and terrace systems, tailored to the specific structure and intended use of the space. From steel subframe fabrication to glass balustrades and integrated decking, every element is engineered to work as a complete, compliant system.
- Frameless and steel post balustrade options
- Non-penetrative systems available for roof terraces
- Integrated steelwork and subframe fabrication
- Toughened and laminated safety glass
- Durable composite decking
- Designed to meet BS6180 and BS8579 with LABC approval
Every installation is supported by structural calculations and detailed surveying, ensuring long-term reliability and a finish that feels considered from every angle.
Non-Penetrative Glass Balustrade & Balcony Systems
Non-penetrative systems are designed to protect waterproof membranes and preserve the integrity of the structure without compromising stability or increasing the risk of thermal bridging.
We design, fabricate, and install fully bespoke non-penetrative glass balustrade and balcony systems for roof terraces, podium decks, balconies, and elevated external spaces – engineered for compliance, thermal efficiency, and long-term performance.
- Designed to protect waterproofing systems
- Mitigate thermal bridging
- Ideal for roof terraces and podium areas
- Frameless and steel post configurations available
- Engineered load distribution and secure fixing methods
- Toughened and laminated safety glass
All systems are supported by structural calculations and technical reports, ensuring compliance with BS6180 and BS8579 alongside LABC approval. The result is a structurally sound solution that protects both the performance and integrity of the building envelope.
jULIET bALCONIES
Juliet balconies provide safety without projecting structure, making them ideal for upper-floor openings where uninterrupted light and clean sightlines are a priority. While many systems are limited to standard sizes and visible external fixings, we deliver fully bespoke solutions engineered around the property itself.
Alongside standard installations, 360 GSS specialises in extra-large Juliet balconies exceeding 4 metres in width. These systems are supported by bespoke steel framework integrated within the wall cavity, allowing the glass to remain securely fixed with minimal visible hardware and a far cleaner architectural finish.
- Extra-large Juliet balconies exceeding 4 metres
- Bespoke concealed steel support systems
- Minimal visible fixings for uninterrupted sightlines
- Toughened and laminated safety glass
- Designed to meet BS6180 and BS8579 with LABC approval
Every system is structurally calculated based on the unique composition and location of the property, including factors such as coastal exposure, high winds, and environmental conditions. The result is a compliant, high-performance solution engineered specifically for the building it is installed onto.
Cantilevered Glass Balconies
Cantilevered balconies create the appearance of a floating structure, extending outward without visible support beneath. Commonly used in large-scale residential developments and high-end architectural projects, they maximise external space while maintaining a clean, minimal appearance.
We design, fabricate, and install fully bespoke cantilevered balcony systems engineered around the structure of the building itself, ensuring compliance, stability, and long-term performance
- Structurally engineered cantilevered balcony systems
- Concealed steel framework and connection detailing
- Frameless and minimal-fix glass balustrade options
- Toughened and laminated safety glass
- Designed to meet BS6180 and BS8579 with LABC approval
All systems are supported by structural calculations and technical reports, delivering a balcony that feels visually lightweight while performing to the highest structural standards.
Free-Standing Glass Balconies
Free-standing glass balconies provide a practical solution where the existing structure cannot support a traditionally fixed system. Often used on extensions, renovations, and large outdoor spaces, these systems create usable external areas without relying entirely on the building itself for support.
We design, fabricate, and install fully bespoke free-standing balcony systems, including the structural steel framework the balcony sits upon. Every system is engineered around the project requirements, ensuring stability, compliance, and a cohesive finish from the steel structure through to the glass balustrades.
- Bespoke fabricated steel support frameworks
- Frameless and steel post glass balustrade options
- Toughened and laminated safety glass
- Suitable for terraces, raised platforms, and extensions
- Designed to meet BS6180 and BS8579 with LABC approval
All installations are supported by structural calculations and technical reports, delivering a robust balcony system engineered for long-term performance and everyday use.

Built to Perform, Not Just Look Good
Balconies and balustrades must do more than enhance the appearance of a building. Every system needs to perform structurally, remain compliant, and withstand long-term exposure to external conditions.
At 360 GSS, every installation is engineered around the specific structure, environment, and loading requirements of the project – from coastal properties exposed to salt air and high winds through to large-scale residential developments.
- Every system we install is designed to:
- Withstand structural load requirements
- Meet LABC approval and BS regulations
- Perform reliably in external environments
- Help protect waterproofing integrity
- Maintain long-term structural stability and finish
This is where structural understanding, detailed calculations, and installation experience make the difference.
