A broken or damaged glass barrier or balustrade is a significant safety hazard and needs to be fixed immediately.
Not sure of what could work? Ask our expert glaziers what is possible in your home or commercial space and rest easy knowing they will provide professional, compliant and hassle-free replacements or upgrades.
In most cases, yes — but not always. Requirements depend on the height of the fall and using the correct structural glass. Where a glass barrier protects a fall of more than 1 metre, you are required to have either a handrail or to use specially designed and engineered structural glass that can perform safely without a handrail. Because every site and application is different, O’Brien® recommends speaking with our experts to assess your specific requirements and ensure the solution is compliant.
