In a commercial or public environment, different building regulations apply to the force loading that protective barriers need to meet. This is why commercial balustrade solutions usually stand apart from domestic balustrade products.

Pure Vista take great pride in bringing the latest glass adjustable balustrade systems to you, competitively priced with comprehensive technical support.

Where can glass balustrades be used?
Commercial balustrade can be used in a variety of environments, the lower force protection domestic to commercial crossover products (R-LOCK and POSIglaze) are suitable for glass partitions and glass staircases that you might find in public buildings and office spaces, as well as for a garden or terrace windbreak in a bar or restaurant, where exposure to high wind isn’t an issue. The higher force loading MEGAgrip is suitable for areas where high winds or crowding may be an additional consideration, for example, coastal bars and restaurants, stadiums, music venues, shopping centres and transport hubs as windbreaks, defined walkways, crowd control barriers and partition walls.

When is it needed?
Glass balustrade building regulations come into play when there is a change in floor level or drop, and they vary according to the specific application. For example, in commercial situations, a balustrade is required to protect against a floor level change of 380 mm. There are further regulations that govern how high the balustrade needs to be relative to the drop that it is protecting against, as well as regulations around the impact force that the balustrade needs to be able to withstand. More information can be found on our building regulations page and on the ‘force loading capabilities’ section of each individual product page.

R-LOCK One-Side-Fit Frameless Glass Balustrade
R-LOCK is the ideal balustrade solution for a situation when you can only access one side of the glass. Using our patented contained resin system, the glass can be installed and uninstalled easily. The de-glazing element had been greatly thought through, mainly to reduce the cost when a glass panel does need replacing. Saving costs on scaffolding or other specialist equipment that is required when working at heights. Resin can often come with bad connotations, however, though our clever design the resin is contained and can simply be knocked off if the glass panel is removed. Pure Vista have detailed installation and de-glazing information available.

R-LOCK is newly available in 3 fittings, base-drill, side-drill and Edge74. Depending on the build and design required each R-LOCK style provides a different look. Each one is anodised in graphite grey, which suits most projects. In a rare case, when required the channel can be provided raw to be powder coated a specific colour by the customer. R-LOCK is also available to be custom fabricated, removing the need for cutting channel on site and allowing a quicker installation.
