Glass Balustrade suppliers

[BotusBuild]

We're looking for reasonably priced versions of this style of balustrade (clear, not frosted).

 

It will be fitted to the glulam beam in the following pic

Anyone know of anyone, preferably in the South West, but willing to source elsewhere if delivery is reasonable.

for completeness it was supply only. We fitted all our balustrades ourselves.

I think it is these https://www.fhbrundle.co.uk/products/1806455M__Glass_Connector_-_O/D_50mm_x_20mm_With_M10_Threads_-_Grade_316_Mirror you want.

I would try Cornwall glass for making the glass panels as I think are quite local to you. You can template the hole positions before you get them made.

I bought glass as well as hardware from F.H. Brundle for a balustrade. Their glass was a good price.

I can't recommend FH Brundle highly enough. From order to delivery their people are absolutely top-notch, the prices are extremely keen and they keep you very well informed

 

I wanted the standouts but didn't have enough vertical space on the return to make it work as you need (IIRC) 100mm below the low standout in the glass. Getting it exactly straight was a process but using their inserts and four post-it notes (a new construction unit) made it perfectly vertical

Yes. Only problem is have with that is having to remove the ceiling the other side of the glulam beam to put the M10 nut and a washer into 🙂

 

Now looking for M10 tube inserts of a suitable length ((50mm?) for the glulam beam.

Things masively depend on the glulam beam construction and what's behind it but it looks like you have two options:

 

Either some HD through bolts like these:

Or some M10/12 screws straight into the glulam - are there any load recommendations

FYI - the glulam beam is wood, of course, 300 x 150 mm, 6m long.

 

On the now hidden side are some web joist every 400mm. And various wires, vent ducting and insulation.

 

Murphy will have placed a joist in the way of at ones set of screws, nuts etc 😁

I just messaged a mate who had the glass balustrades to Gulam like you want. He used these https://www.tcfixings.co.uk/category/wood-to-metal-dowels/945 but could not remember the size. You would then need the glass clamps.
