Sapphire Balustrades’ extensive experience of fast track retail environments has led the company to publish a brochure dedicated to the sectors specialist requirements. In addition to the need for completion within fixed deadlines, clients often seek a high degree of customisation to enhance their corporate branding. Sapphire’s service extends from site survey and design advice to project management, installation and aftercare.

Bespoke retail requirements include display guards, bump rails, access gates, merchandise walling, increased loading requirements and escalator abutments. As a result, an impressive client portfolio includes many of the high street’s best known department stores, supermarkets, banks and car showrooms.

Sapphire’s distinctive handrail and balustrade systems can be used internally or externally using a choice of stainless steel, powder-coated steel, hardwood, brass or aluminium. Structural glass balustrades with no vertical supports provide uninterrupted lines of sight around escalators and stairs to maximise the effects of in-store merchandising and create stylish, contemporary interiors.

For added peace of mind, products are offered with a 12-year warranty.
