How our glass balustrades are fixed

Choose the fixing that suits the structure, look and budget.

Base channel (frameless)

The glass sits in a continuous aluminium channel set into or onto the floor. This is the cleanest look, and the strongest for balconies.

Spigots (frameless)

Stainless steel posts clamp each panel at the base. They suit pool decks and terraces where the floor can't be channelled.

Standoff pins (side-fixed)

The glass is bolted to the face of the stair or slab, leaving the treads clear. A favourite for floating staircases.

Posts and clamps (semi-framed)

Slim posts hold the glass with clamps. The most budget-friendly option.

Glass staircase balustrades and handrails in Dubai

On a staircase, the glass follows the rake of the stair. Each panel is cut to the exact angle in our workshop, so the top edge runs in one clean line. Add a stainless steel, brass or wooden glass handrail on top for grip, or a slim cap rail for a frameless look. We also fit wall-mounted handrails to match.

Handrails and finishes

Stainless steel, brass or wooden glass handrails on top for grip, slim cap rails for a frameless look, or wall-mounted handrails to match the stair.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Are glass balustrades completely safe for homes with young children?

Absolutely. We prioritize safety by utilizing incredibly strong tempered or laminated safety glass. For added security, our integrated Children Safety Glass Doors feature reinforced edges and secure, childproof locking mechanisms to keep your little ones safe.

Are your glass balustrades compliant with UAE safety and building regulations?

Yes. All Burhani Glass balustrades, staircases, and safety doors are engineered to strictly meet or exceed local UAE municipal building codes regarding glass thickness, height, and structural load-bearing requirements.

What is the best type of glass for an outdoor balcony in the UAE?

For outdoor high-rise balconies or terraces, we highly recommend Laminated Glass. It provides exceptional structural strength, protects against harsh UV rays, and remains intact even in the rare event of a severe impact, ensuring maximum safety.

Can the handrails and metal posts be customized to match my interior?

Yes, we offer fully customizable hardware. Whether your aesthetic calls for industrial matte black, classic brushed aluminum, or luxurious electroplated gold, we tailor the finishes to complement your existing architecture perfectly.

How do I clean and maintain my glass staircases and balustrades?

Our glass solutions are remarkably low-maintenance. Occasional cleaning with standard glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth, along with a quick wipe-down of the metal fittings with mild soapy water, is all that is needed to keep them looking pristine.

Do you provide professional measurement and installation?

Yes, we provide end-to-end service. Our expert technicians will visit your property for precise laser measurements, custom-fabricate the glass at our facility, and execute a flawless installation anywhere in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, or the wider UAE.

What is the difference between a glass balustrade and a glass railing?

Same thing. "Balustrade" is the UK and UAE term, "railing" is more American. Both mean a safety barrier made of glass panels, with or without a handrail.

Do I need a handrail on top of a glass balustrade?

On stairs a handrail is usually required for grip. On balconies, laminated glass can often be used without a top rail; we'll check what your building requires.

Can you install a glass balustrade on an existing balcony?

Yes. We usually use a surface-mounted channel or side fixing, so there's no need to break the floor. Some towers require NOC approval first.

Which areas do you cover?

We measure and install across Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain and Ras Al Khaimah. Our workshop is in Sharjah.
