Glass Balustrading – Frameless Elegance, Certified Safety
NSG supplies and installs glass balustrading systems for both internal and external applications, combining safety, structural integrity, and modern design. Whether you’re upgrading a staircase or securing a rooftop terrace, our tested systems deliver a clean, frameless finish without compromising on performance.
Internal Glass Balustrading
We offer two main frameless systems for internal use:
Bolt-On Glass Panels
- Glass panels are face-fixed to the side of the stair stringer or landing using stainless steel standoff bolts.
- Ideal for retrofits or minimalist designs where floor space is limited.
- Clean, floating appearance with no visible base track.
Base Track System
- Glass panels are secured into a continuous aluminium base track fixed to the floor.
- Offers a sleek, uninterrupted line of glass.
- Requires M10 or M12 fixings into concrete or steel substrates only.
- Not suitable for timber floors without structural reinforcement.


Traditional Infill Panels
- Glass panels are installed between timber newel posts and handrails.
- Fixed using wooden beading or stainless steel glass clamps.
- Typically uses 10mm toughened glass.
- A popular choice for domestic staircases and landings where a classic look is preferred.
External Glass Balustrading
All external balustrading installations are frameless systems, designed to withstand weather and wind loads while maintaining a modern aesthetic.
Key Features:
- Always installed using toughened laminated glass for safety and compliance.
- No handrail is fitted on top of the glass – maintaining a clean, open view.
- Panel connectors are used between glass panes to provide additional lateral support.
- Suitable for:
- Roof edges
- Patios and balconies
- Parapet walls
- Any area with a drop requiring fall protection
Important Note:
- The base track system is only certified for use with concrete or steel substrates.
- External installations must not use traditional timber-based methods.
