Paul Smith, Marketing Manager of F.H. Brundle, asks whether installers are missing a trick in not offering one of the fastest-growing home improvement products \u2013 balustrades.<\/em><\/p>\n

Of the thousands of installers at work up and down the country, the majority are specialists \u2013 they do windows, doors, and maybe conservatories.<\/p>\n

But in focusing their attention on just those three core fenestration products, are they actually missing out on big opportunities a little outside that comfort zone?<\/p>\n

A fast-growing trend<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take glass balustrades as an example. They\u2019re one of the fastest-growing glazing products in Europe, offering high-margins, stylish aesthetics and a sure-fire way of appealing to discerning and aspirational homeowners.<\/p>\n

Really, they\u2019re just a natural evolution of the trends we\u2019ve been seeing in architecture and interior design since the early 2000s.<\/p>\n

Homeowners, architects and product designers have striven to introduce as much transparent space to houses and gardens as possible.<\/p>\n

That fuelled the incredible rise of bi-folds, for instance \u2013 and more recently, has seen a surge in the popularity of wide-span sliding doors, that can make virtually a whole wall see-through.<\/p>\n

Now, glass balustrades are taking things a step further \u2013 by turning barriers that have traditionally often been opaque, like balconies and banisters, into ones that are transparent.<\/p>\n

Lighter, brighter homes \u2013 and easier installations<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s an extremely effective way of bringing more light, a greater sense of spaciousness, and minimalistic style to a property \u2013 which goes a long way to explaining why the demand for them has risen considerably over the last decade.<\/p>\n

But from an installer\u2019s perspective, the best thing about them is if you can already fit something as complicated as a bifold or even a conservatory, then you can easily turn your hand to glass balustrades. There are rules and regulations you\u2019ll need to know to follow, but once you\u2019ve grasped those, you\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\n

And at F.H. Brundle, we\u2019ve got an extensive range of quality, installer-friendly glass balustrade products<\/a> to help you quickly get started in this lucrative, growing market.<\/p>\n

Best-in-class balustrades<\/strong><\/p>\n

Take the Slim Channel<\/a> for example \u2013 a great value system that\u2019s quick and easy to install thanks to its pre-drilled channel fixing holes, and offers a satin anodised finish. What\u2019s more, stainless steel cladding isn\u2019t required.<\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s PanelGrip<\/a>, with its patented expanded grip technology which allows for significantly reduced installation times and labour costs. \u00a0The only tool you\u2019ll need to align the glass is an Allen key!<\/p>\n

But whichever model you choose, customising one to fit you and your customers\u2019 requirements is a breeze thanks to the F.H. Brundle Liveconfigurator\u2122<\/a> online configuration tool.<\/p>\n

It will save you hours of drawing time and costly mistakes \u2013 and best of all, you get a set of CAD drawings totally free.<\/p>\n
