Product Description

Our 3000mm aluminium glass balustrade channel system delivers a robust, dependable, and precision-engineered solution for frameless glass balustrades. Designed for both concrete and steel base fix applications, the system has been independently tested to UK standards, providing verified performance while maintaining a clean, minimal finish suitable for modern architectural projects.

Key Benefits

  • Proven performance on both concrete and steel substrates, achieving line load resistance up to 1.5kN/m, subject to glass thickness
  • Designed for 17mm–21mm glass with exact deduction allowances for a secure, accurate fit.
  • Adjustable wedges and snap-on bead strips with integrated gaskets simplify alignment and ensure a tight seal.
  • Manufactured from high-grade aluminium, offering long-term corrosion resistance in both internal and external environments.
  • The frameless finish preserves clear sightlines, ideal for balconies, terraces, stairwells, and commercial applications.

This 3 metre base-fix channel is engineered to provide structural integrity for frameless balustrade systems. Supplied in 3000mm lengths, each channel supports multiple glass panels and can be joined seamlessly with connector pins or adapted for corner installations.

Channels should be secured to the substrate using M12 anchor bolts at 200mm centres to achieve optimal load distribution. Installation is aided by an adjustable wedge system, allowing for fine alignment, while the removable bead strips and rubber gaskets hold panels firmly in place.

Extensive testing with toughened and toughened laminated glass in thicknesses of 17.52mm, 19mm, and 21.52mm confirmed full compliance under line loads up to 1.5kN/m, meeting performance criteria for domestic, commercial, and public use.

Each system is supplied with 2 end caps, a drill bit, and a wedge kit. Integrated drainage holes within the channel help maintain reliable performance in exposed outdoor environments.

    What Our Customers Say

    Andrew Cooke

    Superb customer service from the Express Toughening team – when I made a mistake on my order online, they dealt with the issue quickly organising partial refund immediately. My order arrived quickly and their courier messaged me before delivery to check I was in. Quality product at the best price I found online.

    A massive Thankyou to Helen from Express Toughening for being so patient, co-operative and helpful with my orders. She resolved a re-make without any fuss and in an extremely timely manner. If you want glass – go to Express Toughening and ask for Helen!

    Andy Beviere

    Extremely easy company to deal with, glass ordered weeks ago and asked for a specific delivery date due to glass testing and no one being onsite. Delivered on time and when asked for other types glass stated they couldn’t help but recommended an equally helpful company!!

    Wouldn’t hesitate to use again.

    I’ve used Express Toughening twice now and have been very impressed with the glass they have supplied and also the helpfulness of the staff. The first job was a couple of years ago when they supplied me with a 6mm satin frosted toughened glass door for our shower room. From my measurements they supplied a fabulous door which had the hinge and lock holes cut out and also took into account the out of square measurement of the door frame. It fitted a treat and is stunning to look at.

    More recently (late last year) they supplied me with painted toughened glass splash backs (7 items altogether in 6mm glass with the biggest being 2.1 metres long), all cut to my sizes and with numerous switch and socket cut-outs. My local glass supplier said they could not cut out the close together sockets and switches, but Express did and got it spot on!

    As with the glass door, the splash backs were delivered to me by Expresses’ own transport and without any problems and quality issues.

    After the scary bit of fitting them all the result is faultless and stunning. Thanks go to Alex who helped me with the ordering process and technical aspects of glass splash backs.

    4mm toughened glass for greenhouse. Although slightly dubious about ordering from a company I’ve never heard of and not local (300mile away) I’m so glad I took the plunge. A great customer service from Helen and the team from start to finish, clearly there was nothing for me to worry about.

    Their website is easy to use and made ordering online a doddle and for those shapes, they don’t have on their website a quick email and rough diagram sorted any issues there. All glass arrived on time well packed and with no breakages.

    It’s a company I wouldn’t hesitate to use again and I’d definitely recommend it to others who need quality glass cut to size.

    Fantastic service, fantastic prices and fantastic products – I could not recommend Express Toughening highly enough – I got an immediate response to my request for a quotation, and Helen was so helpful in answering my questions. Order placement was easy and everything arrived exactly on time and as promised. I won’t look anywhere else for my next order – great prices (way cheaper than other quotes) and great service!

    Thank you!
