Outdoor Applications Covered
Garden Terraces and Raised Patios
The applicable guarding requirements depend on the levels and proposed use. Ask the installer or designer to identify them for the proposed terrace.
Harborne, Moseley and Sutton Coldfield are within the stated service area. Each terrace or patio is reviewed against its levels, support and proposed use.
Raised Decking
A glass system can be considered for composite decking after the supporting subframe and fixing design have been reviewed. See decking balustrades for related information.
Flat-Roof Extension Terraces
A flat roof should not be treated as a terrace unless the responsible designer or engineer confirms it is suitable for the intended use and guarding loads.
External Staircases
An external-stair proposal requires a review of geometry, support, loads, exposure, glass, hardware and handrail requirements. See staircase balustrade installers for related information.

Glass Specification
Glass type and thickness depend on the assessed system, panel dimensions, support, loads, exposure and design evidence.
Stainless Hardware
The written specification should identify the proposed hardware grade and any cleaning requirements for the site.

Ask for product-specific cleaning and inspection instructions at handover.
