“We contacted Ian in Sligo Glass to discuss options for a glass balustrade around our patio which is in an exposed area. Ian explained the options in detail, provided a clear quote quickly, and talked to us and our builder so that we could prepare the walls to the correct specification to support the balustrade. We delayed for a few months then contacted Ian again, there was no drama, and Ian helped us change the design, provided a new quote then we decided to press ahead.
Ian was super helpful and easy to work with, professional in providing quotes which some suppliers are not great at, and then provided good communication throughout the process. Their team arrived on time to install the glass balustrade and did an excellent job, install was to a very high standard, very professional and it is a very impressive finish. We have received lots of compliments so far. Overall Sligo Glass and Ian, in particular, were excellent to work with, 10/10 for everything and I could not recommend them highly enough.” – Steve Breen, Renvyle

Crystal View is perfect for coastal areas

Glass balustrades are an excellent choice for coastal areas due to their aesthetic appeal, unobstructed views, safety features, durability, low maintenance requirements, and design versatility.

“I was concerned that being right beside the sea we would spend most of our time cleaning the Glass- but it is literally zero management. The best part, of course, is that the outdoor area works so well for us now. Without the breeze there is a real sense of comfort and privacy – my only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner” – Jane & Myles Lamberth, Shells Cafe, Strandhill

We can provide Toughened Laminated glass, which is both robust and safe to use either as a Balustrade or a Windshield.

This type of glass is essential if there is a fall of more than 1200mm (4ft) on the far side of the proposed railing. Another option to make the balustrade safe and to comply with Building Regulations is to add a handrail on top of the glass.
