Fire-rated glass balustrades

For residential projects over 11 M

The first systems in the market

To achieve BS EN13501 class A2-s1,d0

Want to add glass balustrades to a residential project over 11 meters? Well with Q-Railing’s new glass you can! Here are the first laminated frameless glass balustrade and glass Juliet balcony systems to satisfy the amendments made to the Approved Document B in December 2018, and the further changes made in 2022. Both work with an innovative laminated glass that achieves the required EN13501:A2-s1,d0 rating.

Helping you
cope with challenges

In December 2018 changes were made to the Building Regulations 2010: Approved Document B, causing laminated glass as a barrier to be banned from residential buildings with habitable floors above 11 metres.

With safety being our first priority, of course, but meeting strict wind mitigation and sight line requirements is quite a challenge, if not impossible, without glass balustrades. So, we got going. Thorough research and testing of compliant glass alternatives resulted in a strong partnership with the safety glass expert team at Pyroguard and not one but two compliant glass balustrade systems were born.
