Project snapshot

Category: Balustrades · Location: Dubai Hills · Property type: Four-bedroom villa · Typical duration: 3–4 weeks

The challenge

  • Developer handover balustrade was compliant but visually heavy
  • Client wants an uninterrupted sightline up the stair
  • Stair substrate had to be opened up to confirm what fixings would land in
  • Family living in the property throughout

FixUp Fab solution

  • 13.52mm laminated toughened glass so a broken pane stays in the opening
  • Continuous base channel rather than spigots for a cleaner line
  • Substrate checked and made good before the channel was set
  • Slim capping rail to protect the exposed top edge
  • Panels sized to clear the stairwell without a crane

Scope of work

Substrate investigation Laminated glass fabrication Base channel installation Capping rail Making good and finishing

Results

  • An open sightline up the stair with no vertical posts breaking it
  • A barrier that stays standing if a pane is ever broken
  • Fixings landing in verified structure rather than screed
  • Panels delivered at sizes the stairwell could physically take
