We have over 25 years of experience in designing and fitting balustrades of all materials across the UK. SHS have an unrivalled knowledge of the specifications of balustrade building regulations and can help with getting your project approved.
The five key elements to remember when it comes to balustrade building regulations are:
We can offer balustrade building regulation guidance, as well as advice on the best safety solutions for your home or commercial building. Contact us today to talk through your requirements.
SHS balustrade systems are manufactured with both internal and external use in mind and crafted for both domestic and commercial buildings. Our glass balustrades complement exterior and interior design and are made from durable materials that can handle British weather and can withstand any weather condition.
Living near the coast can affect your property and outdoor structures. The high winds, rain, and high levels of corrosion due to the salt is something to keep in mind when choosing your balustrade supplier.
Glass does not corrode which is why glass balustrades are the better option over the more traditional railing styles. They are more resilient to sea salt and cannot be permanently affected by salt or the weather.
Our team also always suggests we used a mirror finish; the smoother surface of the Mirror Finish has a higher resistance to the salt particles in the air and prevents corrosion for longer.
UK building regulations specify that toughened or toughened laminated glass are the two types of glass that are suitable for constructing balustrades and it&#;s what SHS products offers.
The company is the world’s best shoe railing system supplier. We are your one-stop shop for all needs. Our staff are highly-specialized and will help you find the product you need.
Laminated glass consists of two pieces of toughened glass held together by an extremely strong interlayer. Toughened glass goes through a process called tempering where the glass is heated and quenched &#; cooled quickly. Quenching locks tension into the core of the glass resulting in a stronger glass.
Both glass and stainless steel are durable materials that can handle British weather whether it&#;s sunshine, rain, snow, or low temperatures. Compared to other materials that need more maintenance to withstand the weather extremes.
Safety glasses that we use for our glass balustrades are essentially weatherproof without needing any special treatment. They are low maintenance and do not fracture at minus zero degrees or crack under pressure or extreme heat.
Compliant with building regulations our glass balustrades are extremely strong and aesthetically pleasing, and a long-term investment for both domestic and commercial buildings.
We supply only, we can supply and survey, and we can also supply, survey, and install our balustrade systems. Our approved installers can install our balustrades whatever your location, in every corner of the UK.

I am rebuilding a set of steps, and have decided that I need to replace the handrail at the base of the steps. This is one of the exposed handrails, with ballisters and a newel at the end. This is a straight run - no curves and no angle changes. From what I understand, there are basically 4 different parts - the shoe, the ballisters (the upright supports), the newel (the post at the end) and the handrail. In what order should I install the parts? Should I fit the Newel in before the shoe to ensure a tight miter cut?
