Layout the posts for each section next to the handrail, on the floor. Fix the posts to the handrail using the supplied bolts, through the pre-drilled and riv-nutted holes in the handrail.
Carefully lift the balustrade up, one section at a time (with one person on each post to avoid any twisting) and place it in position.
Use a suitable pen or pencil to mark the holes on the base fixing plate for each post, then carefully move the balustrade to one side and drill the holes with a suitable drill bit.
Place the balustrade back in position and bolt the posts the floor, using a spirit level and any necessary shims to ensure the posts are plumb vertical. Once securely fastened, connect each wire and tension one at a time.

Lay the base channel in position and mark the bolt-hole locations using a pen or pencil. Drill the holes with a suitable drill bit, then fix the base channel in position using M12 bolts.
Place the isolators into the channel (3 per meter) and attach the rigid adjustment bead to the outer edge. Place the slider into the channel with the wings on the inside edge and the slider positioned to the right of the isolator.
Insert glass into the channel, put the clamps within the slider wings, and lower to the clip.
With the glass angled towards the installer, insert the wedge tools and maneuver the glass into the desired position by hand, using a spirit level.
Slide the clamps to the right, so that the slider is tight. Press the clip onto the clamps and push down into the channel.
Insert the clamp bars and bolts, and tighten them against the channel by unwinding the bolt. Then remove the wedge tool.
Repeat this process for each panel, one at a time.
Apply the trim to the top of the base channel and the end caps to either end of the channel.
Starting at the bottom of the stairs and working your way up, place the bespoke glass panels into position (using the spacer block provided to set the correct gap either side of the glass) in the clamps and tighten the clamps with an 8mm Allen Key.
