Frameless or Post-and-Rail? Choosing Your Perfect Stileglass Look

At Stileglass, we understand that every Northern Ireland home has its own unique style. That's why we offer a variety of glass balustrade systems, ensuring you find the perfect match for your interior staircase, decking, or balcony.

The two most popular styles we install are Frameless and Post-and-Rail.

1. The Frameless System: Maximum Luxury

• The Look: This is the ultimate in sleek, minimalist design. The glass panels are secured directly into the floor or edge using stylish metal clamps (spigots) or a continuous channel at the base, with no vertical posts in sight.

• The Advantage: It offers the clearest, most unobstructed view possible, creating a breathtaking 'floating' glass effect. Ideal for modern, high-end homes and areas with spectacular scenery.

2. The Post-and-Rail System: Classic Clarity

• The Look: This design uses vertical metal posts (typically high-grade stainless steel) to support the glass panels, often featuring a handrail along the top.

• The Advantage: It provides a slightly more traditional and robust feel, while still maintaining exceptional transparency. It’s an excellent, cost-effective option that’s highly adaptable for complex shapes and staircases.

No matter which style you choose, Stileglass guarantees the use of toughened, safety-compliant glass and durable, weather-resistant fittings. We work across Northern Ireland to bring your vision to life with precision and expertise.
