Deck Mount Glass Balustrade
Using Spigots With Top Mount Rail

 

Step 3. You're almost there

Now comes the fun part of choosing the shape of spigots, handrail profile and doing the calculations for the glass panels required.

Stainless Spigots

There are 3 spigot profiles available Square, Round and Glass Vice. Each spigot has 2 installation options. One for a timber substrate and another for masonry. Each spigot will hold glass 60mm off the ground and has been designed to not only be aesthetically appealing but with strength and safety in mind.

You will need to use 2 spigots for each glass panel between 300mm and 1650mm and 3 spigots for panels between 1700 and 1800mm.

Measurements and Layout Drawings

If you haven't already done so now would be a good time to take some measurements and do a layout drawing. It is important to indicate any existing posts, walls, steps as these will all influence your requirements.

You will first need to do the calculations for the panel sizes. Once you have determined these you will need to double the number of panels to calculate the number of spigots required. You will also need to calculate the lengths of top rail tube and rail connectors.

Step 3. Choose your top rail material

Your next choice is to decide on the top rail. You can either use Timber or Stainless Steel.

 

Timber

The posts are supplied with a flange welded to the top for the timber rail to be screwed to. As we do not supply timber you will need to source your own rail.

Step 2. Choose how to hold your glass

Your next decision to make is how you are going to hold/support your glass panels. The options available are:

Spigots

A spigot is installed onto your structure and the glass is then inserted into the spigot and held with friction. There are 3 spigots to choose from including:

  • Square Spigots
  • Round Spigots

Each different spigot can be installed directly to the deck using screws through a base plate or grouted into a core hole.

Posts

A post is installed onto the structure and holds the glass from the sides either using friction glass clamps or is inserted into a slot in the post. There are 3 types of posts to choose from including:

  • Round Posts with Glass Clamps
  • Round Slotted Posts
  • Square Posts with Glass Clamps.

Each post is available as an end, centre or corner. We can also make custom posts should you have an obscure angle or step.
