Glass Balustrade Wortley
Bespoke Balustrade Excellence: Dio-Met Delivers a Stunning Glass System in Wortley
We're thrilled to showcase one of our most recent and rewarding projects: the design, manufacture, and professional installation of a custom glass balustrade system for our client, Gary, in the beautiful area of Wortley. This project perfectly illustrates Dio-Met's commitment to bespoke quality, safety, and superior craftsmanship. Our goal was to provide Gary with a modern, durable safety barrier that complemented his outdoor living space, featuring a gorgeous stone patio and surrounding landscape.
Project Highlights: Custom System 2 Design
This system was a custom variation of our popular System 2 balustrade, which focuses on a sleek, post-supported glass design. The core components included:
-
Stainless Steel Upright Baluster Posts: These posts provide the structure and strength required for a safe system, finished with elegant base cover roses for a seamless look. The photos show both systems featuring stainless steel posts with clear glass infills, a robust and attractive combination.
-
Clear Toughened Glass Infill Panels: We utilized toughened glass, which is expertly crafted for strength and safety, ideal for balustrade systems. Glass panels were used to offer unobstructed views of the scenery around the patio.
-
Matching Framed Glass Gate: A framed glass gate was custom-manufactured to match the balustrade, ensuring a coherent design and secure access point- perfect for dogs and children.
The Dio-Met Advantage: Stability and Professional Installation
While many DIY kits or other installers might rely on simpler mechanical fixings, our approach prioritizes long-term stability and safety. For Gary's installation, we ensured a professional and rock-solid result:
-
Core-Drill Fixing: Unlike simply relying on fixings into a paving slab or the top course of stone, we employed a core-drill fixing method. This involves drilling deeper into the wall structure below the surface paving.
-
Superior Safety: This technique creates a secure, structural foundation for the baluster posts, guaranteeing a safe and professional system that can withstand the elements and use over many years. This method ensures the system does not rely on the structural integrity of a thin paving slab, which is crucial for a safety barrier.
