Glass button balustrades are installed using stainless steel button fixings, anchoring the glass panels to the surface. This creates a sleek, floating effect for a minimalist finish and offers uninterrupted views.

Our glass button balustrades are made of toughened or laminated glass. Each choice is influenced by the type of application and the customer's preference. Toughened glass undergoes a tempering process, which makes it up to 5x stronger than annealed glass. Laminated glass consists of two or more glass layers bonded with a PVB or SGP interlayer. This interlayer holds the glass together when broken to prevent shards from falling.

Yes! All of our glass button balustrades are completely safe for public installation. We use toughened or laminated glass, which has no sharp edges and breaks into small, unharmful shards when shattered. All of our glass button balustrades undergo rigorous testing to meet BS 6180:2011 UK building regulations. We also use high-grade 316 stainless steel for corrosion resistance and long-term stability.

At WPS Handrails, compliance with building codes and regulations is our main priority. Our balustrades act as a barrier where the fall risk exceeds 600 mm, preventing the risk of injury. All of our balustrades are supplied at a minimum height of 1100mm to ensure safety for external or commercial applications.

To keep your glass button balustrade in great condition, we suggest wiping it down often with a dry microfibre cloth and mild glass cleaner to prevent stains and smudges. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, as these can scratch or damage the glass surface. Use a stainless steel cleaning spray to keep the steel free from grime and rust, especially external balustrades.

Yes, all of our glass button balustrades come with self-installation kits and an installation guide to help you install our balustrades safely at home. If you’re not familiar with balustrades and don’t feel confident installing the balustrade yourself, we offer a professional fitting service.
