Installation
Whether you’re a DIY customer, or not, installation isn’t something you need to worry about.
All of StairFurb’s Glass Balustrade Kits are designed and manufactured with DIY in mind.
Everything is cut to the required lengths and angles, with holes pre-drilled and fixing screws provided. All you need to do is cut and remove your existing balustrade, then fit our modular kit following our simple video guides.
To fit our balustrade kits you will need a hand drill, screwdriver, allen keys, saw and hammer. There are fixing kits available in our parts shop.
All kits are bespoke made, so the handrail and baserails are not only pre-cut to the required length and angle, but they also have any holes pre-drilled and clamps pre-fitted. This makes fitting easy in just a few steps:
- Remove the existing balustrade. This generally just requires a hand saw and a hammer or mini crowbar.
- Screw down baserail using the supplied screws, through the pre-drilled holes screw the glass clamps to the baserail. The screws should go all the way through the baserail and fix it in place.
- Fit handrail. Using the pre-supplied screws, fit the handrail to the newel posts. In the paperwork supplied with your order, you will see how hight to fit the handrail.
- Fix the Glass. Place the glass into the clamps and tighten the clamps to secure the glass in place.

Newel posts can be a little more complex to install, with the fitting method depending upon the setup of your existing posts and the style of post you choose. We would generally advise seeking the advise of a professional when installing newel posts.
