We are now launching a long-awaited feature in our configurator: the ability to design and order a low balustrade for installation on top of a wall or an existing fence. This feature is designed for those who want to complement their current privacy screen with a stylish windbreak, without having to completely rebuild their outdoor space from scratch.
Maximise your patio with a custom-fit glass balustrade
Many homeowners already have a beautiful stone wall or a classic timber fence that provides good privacy, but may not be enough to block out the chilly winds. By adding a lower glass balustrade on top of your existing structure, you can create a taller barrier that protects against draughts while maintaining natural light and an open feel.
This option is available for our popular Forma (aluminium) and Prime (stainless steel) series. You can easily find this option in our design tool under the "Balustrade Height" section when you start your project.
Benefits of Installing a Railing on a Wall or Fence
Based on the most common questions we receive, we have compiled the key benefits of this solution:
- Effective wind protection: A lower glass balustrade allows you to use your patio well into the season.
- Keep the view: Since you're choosing glass as the infill, you get the protection you need without blocking the view of the garden.
- Easy installation: the systems are designed to be fixed securely to stone, concrete and timber.
- Aesthetic Upgrade: The combination of a solid wall and a modern balustrade creates an exclusive and well-thought-out look.
How to Choose the Right One: Forma or Prime?
When customising your balustrade to fit a wall, the choice of material is important.
- Forma: Our aluminium balustrade, which is very popular for its modern design and customisable colour options.
- Prime: The obvious choice if you're looking for a classic stainless steel balustrade with a high-quality finish and exceptional durability.
Both systems can be customized to the millimeter directly in our configurator. You have complete freedom to choose different height ranges to find the perfect balance between function and aesthetics for your specific garden or patio.
Functional balustrade solutions for all environments
Installing a balustrade on a wall is a smart solution often used to create distinct zones in the garden or to safely bridge level differences in an unobtrusive way. Whether you have a modern retaining wall or an older fence, adding a glass balustrade creates a seamless integration that enhances both the value and usability of your property.
By using our proven Forma and Prime systems, you get a design built to withstand harsh weather. The materials require minimal maintenance; a simple wash with water and a mild detergent is usually enough to keep the balustrade looking like new year after year.
Here's how to get started with the design tool:
- Enter your measurements: Measure your wall or fence carefully and enter the exact measurements.
- Select balustrade height: Adjust the height so that it complements your existing screening.
- Choose a glass type: Clear glass for visibility, or perhaps frosted glass for extra privacy?
- See the price right away: The configurator updates the price in real time based on your selections.
Try it out for yourself in our configurator and see how a low balustrade can transform your patio into a wind-protected and inviting oasis.
