A range of high-quality balustrade systems at Pear Stairs

Here at Pear Stairs, we're proud to supply a huge range of glass balustrade options for landings and stairs.

Our range of glass balustrades is tailored to suit various project requirements, enabling you to create the desired finish that you're looking for.

Some of our popular modern balustrade styles incorporate balustrade glass between the handrail and baserail in place of standard spindles, which can be combined with both metal and timber parts to create your desired finish – be it ultra-modern and minimal or warm and traditional.

All of the glass balustrades that we design, manufacture, and supply at Pear Stairs encompass beauty and transparency to maximise the natural elegance of glass. Creating the illusion of extra space and allowing more natural light to flow through, making them the perfect option if you're dealing with dark hallways and limited square footage.

Not only do glass balustrade systems visually enhance your space, but they also maximise safety.

Made from toughened laminated glass, glass balustrade systems are much stronger than typical everyday glass, highly resistant to impact, and installed in accordance with all current building regulations. So, you can be confident that it's one of the safest options for your home.

A range of glass balustrade options

Balustrade glass is incredibly versatile, meaning there are a range of design possibilities to suit your needs and preferences.

Some of our most popular designs here at Pear Stairs include:

Glass and Metal Balustrade

Some of our balustrading is made entirely out of metal and glass for an ultra-modern look, with highly versatile parts from Q-Railing, an innovative brand in the field of railing systems.

These parts offer complete solutions that are immediately recognisable due to their unique design, exceptional performance, and fine quality.

The Q-Railing ranges are ideal for residential and commercial properties – and we have the parts to build their baluster railing systems, so we can help you construct the perfect premium glass balustrade.

These systems are designed to be easy to construct. However, some are not recommended to fit on a staircase due to the nature in which the base channel needs to be anchored to the ground. Consult our team for information or see the bottom of the page for details on some of our Q-Railing parts designed to work with round profile handrails.

Although we only have a limited selection of these railing parts currently listed on our website, we can supply the full range of parts from Q-Railings that allow you to build internal and external glass balustrades – simply discuss your options with our design team!

Glass and Timber Balustrade

Here at Pear Stairs, we are an official supplier of Richard Burbidge stair and handrail parts and we have been working closely with them for many years. Richard Burbidge has adapted a few of their ranges to incorporate glass panel balustrades with their more classic timber parts. The Fusion residential and commercial ranges have glass options, as well as the Elements and Immix ranges. This means we can offer plenty of choices when replacing or renewing a stair or landing balustrade with something fresh and modern looking.

Parts from Q-Railing glass and metal railings

We currently only have a limited range of Q-Railing parts to view online, contact us to discuss other options, including external handrail and barrier systems.

Stainless Steel Handrail

The Stainless Steel handrail is 42.4mm in diameter and is suitable for indoor use only. A rubber profile (see below) is used to fit the handrail to the 15mm glass panel.

Rubber Interface

The rubber interface is designed to fit snugly inside the handrail and to "pinch" the top of the 15mm glass panel. No silicon is required as the handrail, rubber and glass will be a good tight fit.

Horizontal Corner Piece

The Corner piece is used to join two handrails at a perpendicular angle to each other.The application of small amounts of adhesive (available in our shop) is required to secure the fitting to the handrail.

Aluminium Profile Base

The aluminium profile base is the final connection point between the glass panel and the floor. It is a rigid design which holds the glass firmly in place, thanks to some rubber inserts (see below). The anchor bolts required for securing the base to the ground can also be purchased from our online store. The profile bases are available in lengths of 2.5m.

Rubber Inserts

These set of rubber inserts, when attached to the inside of the profile base in the correct order grips the glass panels securely

M12 Anchor Bolts

The M12 anchor bolts secure the base profile to the ground. 24 anchor bolts are required for each profile base length (2.5m).

Inner Corner Piece

The corner piece is used to join two aluminium profile bases perpendicularly.

Handrail End Cap

The end cap adds the finishing touches to the glass balustrade and is easy to fit.

Base Channel End Plate

The base channel end plates complete the finish of the balustrade.
