A glass balustrade does two jobs at once: it keeps a staircase, landing or balcony safe, and it disappears while doing it — letting light pour through the house and leaving views wide open. We design, make and fit toughened and laminated glass balustrades for homes and businesses across Chichester and West Sussex.

Choose fully frameless glass in a discreet base channel, elegant stainless-steel posts and handrails, or glass infill panels within an existing timber staircase. Every system is specified to meet Building Regulations for barrier loading, using 10mm–21.5mm toughened or toughened-laminated glass depending on the design.

Security

Engineered to protect

Balustrades are safety-critical: ours are engineered to meet Building Regulations barrier loads, using toughened-laminated glass where a handrail-free frameless look is wanted — so even a broken panel stays safely in place. Coastal balconies get marine-grade stainless fittings that shrug off salt air.

Customisation

Tailored to you

Frameless minimalism, classic stainless posts, or new glass in the staircase you already have — with low-iron glass, tints and frosting to fine-tune the look. We survey and design around your structure and the loads it needs to carry.

Ideal for

Who this suits

Staircases and landings, mezzanines, balconies and roof terraces — from barn conversions near Midhurst to seafront balconies in Bognor Regis and Selsey where a view deserves better than timber rails.

Our process

How we do it

We survey the structure, design the system and confirm fixings, then manufacture and fit — glass aligned, fittings torqued and the whole balustrade tested before handover.

Common questions

Frequently asked

Is a glass balustrade safe with children? +
Yes — arguably safer than spindles. The glass is toughened (and laminated for frameless designs), there are no gaps to squeeze through and nothing to climb, and every system we fit is specified to meet Building Regulations barrier-loading requirements.
Does a frameless balustrade need a handrail? +
It depends on the location and the glass specification. With toughened-laminated glass a truly frameless, handrail-free look is achievable in many domestic settings — we'll design the system to comply with Building Regulations for your specific staircase or balcony.
Do you offer a supply-only service? +
Yes. Plenty of our customers are trade fitters, kitchen and bathroom installers, joiners and confident DIYers. We cut and process glass at our Chichester workshop for you to collect — often while you wait for simple cuts — or we can deliver locally. Bring your sizes or a template and we'll do the rest.
Are your quotes really free? +
Completely. Tell us what you need — sizes, photos or just a rough idea — and we'll give you a clear, no-obligation price. No pressure and no hard sell, ever. Call 01243 530 520 or use the contact form.
Who does the fitting? +
Our own team. TRP Glazing is a family-run business with over 40 years of experience — the people who measure and make your glass are the same friendly faces who fit it, so nothing gets lost between survey and installation.
Which areas do you cover? +
We're based at 89 Oving Road in Chichester and work right across the area — Bognor Regis, Selsey, the Witterings, Emsworth, Havant, Portsmouth, Arundel, Littlehampton, Midhurst, Petworth, Worthing and the surrounding towns and villages. For larger projects we regularly travel further across Sussex, Hampshire and Surrey.
