The Crucial Checklist for Balustrade Installation Success

One of the biggest hurdles in any balustrade project—whether you're a professional fitter or tackling a DIY job—is making sure you have all the right parts before you start. Nothing slows down a build or frustrates a client more than discovering a missing bracket or the wrong size clamp mid-installation!

At Glass Balustrades Ireland, we don't just sell parts; we provide solutions. To help you eliminate costly delays and errors, here is your essential pre-installation checklist, focusing on the specialized fittings you'll find on our site:

Your Balustrade Parts Checklist:

  1. Glass Clamps or Spigots: Do you have the correct number? Remember, we recommend at least four clamps/spigots per standard panel to meet safety requirements.

  2. Stainless Steel Grade: Are they 316 Marine Grade? For any outdoor or coastal project, this is non-negotiable for longevity and rust prevention.

  3. Mounting Type: Do your fittings match your surface? Ensure you have flat-back fittings for square posts/walls or radius-back fittings if you are mounting to a round handrail.

  4. Glass Thickness Match: Have you ordered the clamps/spigots rated specifically for your glass thickness (e.g., 10mm or 12mm)? Our fittings are designed to grip perfectly for maximum security.

  5. Fixings: Do you have the correct heavy-duty anchor bolts or screws required for your specific sub-base (concrete, timber, or steel)?

We make planning simpler by offering Ready-to-Fit Kits and clear product specifications, ensuring you order the right components the first time.
