The Benefits of Using Spigots in Your Glass Balustrade Project

When planning a glass balustrade project, choosing the right fixing system makes all the difference to both the finished look and long-term performance. Spigot fixings are one of the most popular choices for homeowners and builders across Ireland — and for good reason.

What Are Spigots?

Spigots are discrete, point-fixed clamps that hold each glass panel firmly in place from below, rather than running along the full length of the balustrade like a post or channel system. The result is one of the cleanest, most minimal looks available in frameless glass balustrade design.

Key Benefits of Spigot Fixings

Minimal Visual Impact — With spigots, there's no continuous post line or channel breaking up the view. This makes them perfect for balconies, decking and patios where an uninterrupted view is the priority.

Cost Effective — Spigot systems are often more economical than full post or channel systems, particularly for shorter runs or budget-conscious projects, while still delivering a premium frameless finish.

Quick and Simple Installation — With fewer components than post systems, spigots are straightforward to install, helping keep project timelines on track.

Versatile Applications — Available in stainless steel, black stainless steel and aluminium finishes, spigots suit a wide range of settings from modern decking to traditional patio walls.

Strong and Durable — Manufactured to high specifications, spigot fixings provide reliable, long-lasting support for toughened glass panels in all weather conditions.
