Glass balustrade systems offer a sleek, modern, and open aesthetic that can transform both interior and exterior spaces. Beloved by interior designers and widely featured on TV shows such as Grand Designs, glass balustrades are an excellent way to introduce a touch of individuality to your home. Whether you’re looking to create a dramatic focal point in your interior or enhance the safety and style of your outdoor living area, glass balustrades from Dream Installations are a versatile and stylish choice for your design.
In this blog post, we’ll explore a variety of glass balustrade ideas and inspiration for both interiors and exteriors. From staircase railings to pool fencing, we’ll showcase how glass balustrades can add elegance and sophistication to your surroundings, at competitive prices.
Inspiration for Interior Glass Balustrades
Stunning staircases
A glass balustrade can utterly transform a staircase from a purely functional passageway into a truly high quality focal point. By replacing traditional spindles with modern glass, natural light can flood through and create an amazing sense of spaciousness with a strong aesthetic appeal. Hallways can often be a rather neglected, dark corner of our homes, but the clean lines afforded by using glass balustrades in the staircase will really open up the space to make the area feel much bigger, lighter and brighter. The use of glass balustrades in your staircase will give an impression of open plan living whilst boasting exceptional strength and durability to keep your family safe and secure, great for your peace of mind. For the real wow-factor you could even install LED strip lighting along the bottom of the glass panels for a dazzlingly dramatic look.
Transform your mezzanine
Glass railings can help define a loft or mezzanine space in a magnificently dramatic fashion without sacrificing natural light to that area. If privacy for the mezzanine is an issue, consider using glass from our range of textured or frosted glass to enable family and guests to move around on the upper level safely screened from those below. Constructed from Grade 316 stainless steel, our fixings and handrails will work in tandem with the toughened glass to provide an impressively strong barrier.
Juliet Balconies: a touch of elegance
To really bring the outside in, consider using glass balustrades for your upstairs French doors. You’ll be able to sit safely inside your wonderfully airy room whilst enjoying all the benefits of the summer breeze and unobstructed views.
Exterior Glass Balustrades
Elevate your patio
Glass balustrades can create a strikingly modern and stylish look for outdoor spaces. If you have a raised patio or deck area, consider bordering it with glass balustrades rather than wooden spindles or fencing. When hosting those summer get-togethers outside, you can be assured that your guests will be perfectly safe and secure whilst enjoying the full splendour of your garden. For evening gatherings, uplighting your glass balustrade will create a breathtaking effect.
Balconies
A glass balustrade on a balcony can enhance the view and make the space feel more open, making them ideal for seating areas, terraces, decking, the list goes on. If you’re lucky enough to enjoy a spectacular view from your balcony, the last thing you’ll want is anything obstructing it. With the option of a frameless glass balustrade, you’ll enjoy sensational sightlines with no compromise to your safety. They have the added advantage of being low maintenance too with no repainting issues to consider – perfect if you are above ground level.
Pool fencing: Glass balustrades can provide safety around a pool while maintaining a sleek and modern aesthetic. At Dream Installations, you can be assured of the safety of our glass balustrades too, with stray footballs or pool toys posing no threat at all to their structure – being durable is a key reason why they are a popular choice, with their appearance adding an elegant touch to any building.
Create a garden oasis
Imagine creating a tranquil oasis in your garden without blocking your light. Rather than choosing a fence or brick wall to partition your garden, consider how a frosted glass balustrade could work in your garden. Enabling you to section your garden so you can enjoy your space in peace, while still maintaining your privacy – and allowing that all important light through for your plants. And if you fear every winter storm warning for the toll it could take on your fence panels, glass balustrades could be the perfect solution as they are extremely strong and able to withstand a range of weather conditions.
