Outdoor Glass Balustrades Sevenoaks

A raised terrace or patio that drops more than 600mm to the ground below requires guarding under Building Regulations Part K. Glass is the most unobtrusive option. It provides the required protection without blocking light into the house or interrupting the view from the terrace.

We install frameless channel-fixed systems and post-spigot systems depending on the substrate and the customer’s preference. For ground-level terraces used as social space, glass creates a defined boundary without the enclosed feel of a solid wall.

Raised timber and composite decks are one of the most common outdoor balustrade projects we carry out across Sevenoaks. When a deck sits more than 600mm above ground, guarding is a requirement. Glass balustrades sit cleanly on composite decking and leave the surface finish undisturbed.

Properties in Seal and Sevenoaks Weald with sloped rear gardens frequently have multi-level decking with height changes that need guarding. Glass handles these transitions cleanly.

Glass balustrades around pools and hot tubs combine safety guarding with minimal visual disruption. A frameless glass surround allows supervision from any angle. For households with children, this is important.

Pool surrounds present a specific challenge for hardware: pool chemicals are corrosive in combination with weather exposure. We specify hardware appropriately for the combined environment. See our dedicated glass pool fence page for full detail.

External stairs from a raised terrace or deck down to the garden need guarding on at least one side. Glass guarding on external staircases follows the same structural principles as internal staircases: fully weatherproof hardware and fully toughened glass.

Rain provides a self-cleaning effect outdoors. For the full range of staircase glass balustrades including internal applications, see our dedicated page.
