Balustrades for Decking
Do you have an outdoor deck, patio, terrace, or veranda in need of a safety barrier that doesn’t compromise the view beyond?
Our glass balustrades for decking are ideal for this setting – made to your bespoke measurements and choice of glass finish.
At Express Toughening, we make it easy to order toughened glass cut to size for decking balustrades with our simple ordering tool.
All you need to do is select your preferred glass type and shape, provide the required dimensions, specify any additional amendments, then choose the appropriate thickness.*
When these steps are completed, you’ll be given a quote for your custom glass decking balustrades. If you proceed to check out and pay, once our team processes your order, you should receive it within the next 10–25 working days.
GLASS BALUSTRADES FOR DECKING
Whether you have a ground level patio you want to separate from the rest of your garden or an al fresco dining area on a deck or terrace, you’ll need to choose suitable decking & outdoor balustrades to form a safety barrier around the perimeter.
If you have raised decking with a potential fall height of more than 600mm, then it’s a legal requirement to make sure there are secure barriers in place.
Toughened glass (especially toughened laminated glass) is more than up to the job of protecting people against falls and withstanding the outside elements – all without obscuring the view of the scenery or blocking natural light from brightening up the area.
With a selection of glass finishes and thicknesses starting from 10mm up to 20.8mm, plus a wide range of glass balustrade fittings (sold separately) to suit your preferred installation style, you can find everything you need for balustrades for decking in our online shop.
Should you be interested in deck flooring in addition to glass decking balustrades, we also supply walk-on laminated glass.
If you have an enquiry about our outdoor decking balustrades or the fixings available, or you need help with your bespoke order, please contact us.

Balustrades for Stairs
Stair balustrades are essential safety features to prevent people from accidentally tripping and falling between different floor levels.
However, they’re also key decorative features, so they should be both aesthetically pleasing and durable – like toughened glass panels.
Here at Express Toughening, you can order bespoke glass balustrades for stairs from a selection of glass finishes and thicknesses, cut to size according to your specific measurements.
Use the order form below to fill out your specifications, including any extras you might require, and we’ll generate a quote for your custom glass stair balustrades.*
Depending on the product requirements and your location, your staircase glass balustrades should be delivered within 10–25 working days of our team processing your order.
GLASS BALUSTRADES FOR STAIRS
If you’re looking for a sophisticated stair balustrade design that doesn’t completely close off your staircase, keeping sightlines open and allowing light to flow through the area, then our toughened glass balustrades for stairs could be just the solution.
Your internal or external staircase area will not only look modern and elegant with glass stair panels, but it will also feel brighter and more open thanks to the increased amount of light passing through the clear or translucent glass.
Our options include standard clear glass, low-iron glass, satin frosted glass, or grey or bronze tinted glass to suit your preferences for clarity and privacy.
If you would prefer a sleek frameless look, we offer toughened laminated glass, too – this type of thick safety glass is required for balustrades without posts or handrails. If you want to extend this stylish look to the actual steps, you can also order laminated walk-on glass for stairs.
You can have full confidence in the durability of our balustrades for stairs, which are suitable for installation both indoors and outdoors – along with our selection of glass balustrade fittings. These include channels, clamps, corners, end caps, posts, handrails, gate latches, soft-close hinges, and more.
If you have any questions about our balustrades for stairs and fixings or need assistance with making a bespoke order, get in touch with our team for help.

Glass Balustrade
From raised floors to staircases, balconies to mezzanines, terraces to patios, there are plenty of places that benefit from glass balustrades. Made with strong tempered glass, also known as toughened glass, this type of glass panel is very difficult to break.
Acting as both space dividers and safety barriers, glass balustrades are ideal for separating areas without disrupting views. They’re an essential safety feature where differences in floor levels could cause people to trip or fall, or for filtering large crowds of people into smaller queues.
Not only can toughened glass balustrades improve safety and organisation, but they also enhance the appearance and design flow of your indoor and outdoor spaces. Modern glass balustrades add an impressive sense of sophistication that also makes them a valuable decorative feature.
TOUGHENED GLASS BALUSTRADES
Our toughened and laminated glass balustrades are suitable for indoor or outdoor installation, in both residential and commercial buildings. Whether it’s a shopping centre or events venue, a leisure facility or private residence, glass balustrades make great additions to stairways, balconies, and seating areas alike.
The best part is that clear glass balustrades don’t compromise light levels or lines of sight. These partitions allow light to spread throughout the space evenly, so it still feels bright and open. Easy to install and even easier to maintain, your home or business is guaranteed to enjoy the versatility, durability, and aesthetic appeal they’ll bring.
Choose between traditional toughened glass or low-iron toughened glass for an extra-clear look. Whether you want a frameless style with a channel profile or a design with posts and handrails, the choice is completely yours when you order our bespoke glass balustrades.

Bath Screen with Brass Hinges
A glass shower screen for a bath is the ideal way to protect your bathroom floor and walls from accidental splashes. Bath screens are the twenty-first century version of shower curtains, an easy-clean upgrade from an annoyingly sticky plastic curtain that often drips water everywhere anyway.
Why settle for a flimsy shower curtain when you could benefit from the combined style and safety of over-bath shower screens from Express Toughening?
Whether you have a bath-shower combo or a traditional bathtub, full or partial bath shower screens can make a huge difference to your relaxation levels – no more stressing about drenching the floor, possibly leading to a build-up of damp or mould.
Thanks to the waterproof seal, your glass bath screen should fit snugly between the edge of your bath and the wall, enclosing the ‘splash zone’ securely. This sturdy solution is far more sophisticated than a plastic curtain, in terms of both practicality and appearance.
Select your required size of rectangular bath screen from our three standard options below, then choose either brushed brass hinges or polished brass hinges for the finishing touch.
HINGED BATH SHOWER SCREEN
While they may simply be toughened glass panels, they can also be a subtle decorative feature. Glass bath screens are an ideal finishing touch for any modern bathroom, and can even bring older bathroom décor up to date with their sleek look.
A hinged shower screen over the bath is also much more convenient than wrestling with a wet shower curtain. Our bath screen hinges allow 90 degrees of movement both ways, so the panel can easily swing left or right for easy access to the bath and/or shower.
The hinges also have the capability of holding in place, so you can keep the waterproof partition still when required. To help you create a luxury aesthetic for your bathroom, our brass bath screens are available with a choice of hinges – brushed for a subtle finish, or polished for an impressive shine.
Small touches like this can have a significant effect on the visual impact of a room, adding style and warmth as well as protection against wet floors. When you install a sturdy brass bath shower screen in your bathroom, it’s sure to refresh the entire space.
