Pre-Assembled Glass Balustrade Posts are supplied as ready-to-install vertical supports for post-based glass balustrade systems. Designed to reduce on-site assembly and improve installation consistency, these posts are pre-configured to retain glass infill panels while transferring applied loads into the supporting structure.
By supplying posts pre-assembled, IMS supports predictable installation outcomes across single or multi-post balustrade runs, particularly where alignment control, repeatability and programme efficiency are critical.
Typically used:
- Consistent glass alignment is required across long runs,
- Installation time on site must be minimised,
- Tolerance build-up needs to be controlled,
- A post-based system is preferred over base-channel solutions.
Pre-assembly helps ensure fixing interfaces and glass retention components are positioned accurately before installation begins.
Performance Characteristics
- Dimensional consistency: Factory-set component positions support uniform spacing and alignment.
- Structural reliability: Posts are designed to resist lateral loads applied through the glass.
- Installation control: Reduced component count limits on-site variability.
- System compatibility: Designed to work with defined glass thicknesses and fixing methods.
- Durability: Stainless steel posts for glass balustrade systems are suited to internal and exposed environments when specified correctly.
Typical Applications
Pre-assembled glass balustrade posts are commonly used in:
- Balconies and terraces
- Stair landings and guardian
- Mezzanine floors and internal walkways
- Commercial interiors and public buildings
- Refurbishment projects replacing existing balustrade systems
They are suitable for applications where post-supported glass balustrades are specified in preference to channel-mounted systems.
