Framed Glass Balustrades
From £270 per linear metre
Supply & installation incl. VAT
Post-and-rail systems with or without handrail. Classic look, strong, and suitable for most indoor and outdoor applications. The most cost-effective glass balustrade option.
Frameless Channel Systems
From £450 per linear metre
Supply & installation incl. VAT
Continuous base channel system: glass panels slot into the channel with no visible posts or rails above the glass line. Clean contemporary look for terraces, decking, and balconies.
Frameless Spigot Systems

Supply & installation incl. VAT
Individual spigot clamps hold each glass panel independently. Popular on decking and raised platforms; spigots can be fixed to the deck frame and allow drainage to continue unimpeded.

What Affects the Cost of a Glass Balustrade?
Several factors influence the final price of a glass balustrade installation:
- Run length and height: longer or taller runs require more glass panels and fixings
- Glass specification: toughened vs laminated, glass thickness, and any special treatments such as frosting or tinting
- System type: frameless channel and spigot systems cost more than framed or semi-frameless post systems
- Fixing surface: fixings into masonry or timber are straightforward; porcelain, granite, or composite surfaces require diamond drilling at additional cost
- Internal vs external: external installations require weatherproof-rated components and in some cases higher-spec laminated glass
- Access and complexity: height of work, restricted access, and L- or U-shaped configurations
- Powder coating: bespoke RAL colour coating is available on metal components at an additional cost per linear metre; see our guide to powder coated glass systems for colour and finish options
