Alu Sense – A Glass Balustrade Focused on Form, Function and Flow

Alu Sense elevates the concept of a glass balustrade by removing the visual clutter of external clamps. With its elegantly rounded aluminium posts and integrated glass channels, the design achieves a smooth, uninterrupted surface where every detail is considered. The result is a clean, cohesive expression – modern in its minimalism, timeless in its appeal.

By allowing the glass panels to slide directly into the post profiles, Alu Sense offers wide spans of up to 1500 mm between posts. This not only opens the view but creates a rhythm and lightness rarely seen in traditional railing systems. The posts themselves become part of the architecture – soft in shape, strong in performance.

Whether you’re designing a new build or upgrading an existing space, Alu Sense blends effortlessly into both modern and traditional environments.

Customise Your Glass Balustrade in Our Design Tool

Alu Sense is built to adapt. In our intuitive online design tool, you can tailor every detail of your glass balustrade – from post colour to glass type – while seeing the results in real time through 3D previews and technical drawings.

Choose between:

  • Glass type: Standard laminated safety glass (8.76 mm) or toughened laminated glass for exposed areas
  • Glass finish: Clear for transparency, grey tint for subtle filtering, or opal interlayer for privacy
  • Height: Choose between 800 and 1100 mm depending on the needs of your space
  • Post colour: Natural aluminium or any RAL colour to suit your project

Each selection is automatically priced and updated as you go. You can save your design, revisit it later, or share it with others – giving you full control and clarity before ordering.

Easy Glass Balustrade Installation with Step-by-Step Guides

Despite its high-end appearance, Alu Sense is easy to install without specialist tools. Each kit includes:

  • Pre-measured and pre-cut posts
  • Laminated glass panels
  • All screws, bits and fixings

  • Clear printed instructions
  • Step-by-step video guides

No welding, grinding or cutting is needed – making the installation process as seamless as the railing itself.

    Technical information

    Technical details

    Surface Layer 20 µm

    Our aluminium products are anodised. It’s the same principle as on the mast of a sailboat, which is wind and weather resistant.

    CE-Marked Posts

    The posts have been tested for top-down and lateral attachment to wooden base, and can withstand loads of 0.5-1.0 kN/m.

    8.76 mm Laminated Glass

    Two 4 millimetre glass panes with a plastic film between them. If the glass breaks, the plastic film ensures it stays together as one part. Comes with ground and polished edges.

    8.76 mm Toughened Laminated Glass

    Same construction as our standard laminated glass, but with two tempered glass panes instead of one. We recommend this glass for environments in which the barrier may be exposed to repeated external stress. Comes with ground and polished edges.

    Glass Options (colour)

    When designing your barrier, you can also choose the type of glass. You can choose between clear glass or colored lamellae in gray or opal (coloured or frosted foil between the glass panes).

    Glass Strip in Aluminium

    U-shaped aluminum profile (14×12 mm) was attached on top of the glass with glue. Surface layer 20 µ.

    Symmetrical Sections

    When entering your measurements into our configurator, always enter the outside measurements of the spot in which you wish to place your railing. Our configurator will then make the necessary adjustments. We then adjust the section measurements so that each section on each respective side is the same length. So we adapt your railing to your measurements, not the other way around.

    Customisable Railing Height

    In our configurator, you can choose a railing height between 800 mm and 1100 mm from the ground to the top of the railing.

    Millimetre Perfect

    When you enter your measurements, we ask you to do so in millimetres. We create your railing to the millimetre, so that it’s a perfect fit for where you want to place it.

    Everything is Included with Your Order

    The package you receive from us includes everything you need to assemble your barriers. This includes posts, glass and handrails, as well as all screws, drill bits and special tools. All you need is a screwdriver, wrench, ruler and spirit level.

    Assembly Videos and Instructions

    Our assembly videos help you by showing specific steps of the installation process. Our assembly tips and videos are adapted to each order. They’re not general descriptions, rather, they directly concern your particular order.

    Attachment on Top

    The foot is anchored with 4 screws in the floor.

    Screw for Wood Attachment

    If you choose attachment to a wooden substrate, screws are included for this purpose. The screw is made of hardened steel with CorrSeal surface treatment for outdoor environments. The screw is equipped with a milling groove along the stem and one on the tip. This means a very low screw-in torque in harder wooden materials and minimizes cracking.

    Screw for Concrete Attachment

    If you choose attachment to a concrete substrate, screws are included for this purpose. The screw is made of hardened steel with Corrseal treatment for outdoor environments – Corrosivity class C4. Approved for basic materials: Cracked concrete – Uncracked concrete – Hole-covered decks. Also suitable for: Solid brick – Hollow brick – Solid mexite brick – Natural stone.

    Aluminium Parts

    Poles or other aluminium parts require occasional maintenance. Should stains appear, a mild detergent, water and a soft cloth are usually sufficient. Do not use products with abrasive, acidic or alkaline properties.

    Glass

    Use a soft cloth to clean glass surfaces with window or mirror cleaning fluid. For more difficult stains, rubbing alcohol can be used. Afterwards, clean with window and mirror cleaning fluid for a second time. Do not use abrasive agents on glass.

    When you’re designing your balustrade, the usage class (A, B or C) gives an indication of where it’s suitable to use. Classes are based on UK Building regulations as specified by the British Standards Institution (see below), combined with our internal product tests, and take into account your specifications regarding balustrade height, section width, details, etc. They’re our recommendations to help you make the right choice! Outdoor Existing Buildings: minimum 1100 mm railing height Indoor Existing Buildings: minimum 900 mm railing height Residential environments: 0.74 kN/m Public areas: 1.5 kN/m Arenas/shopping centres: 3 kN/m Our balustrade solutions are CE marked, indicating they comply with relevant EU directives concerning health, safety, and environmental protection.

    CLASS A

    A Class A-rated railing meets the requirements specified above and is therefore suitable for use in all types of residential environments as well as public spaces such as offices, restaurants, and shops. Our Class A-rated railings withstand at least 0.74 kN/m in linear load, and in cases where the railing includes glass, it is safety glass designed to prevent injuries in case of impact.

    CLASS B

    Class B railings are suitable for use in environments where the level difference from floor to ground is 0-1 meter. Our Class B-rated railings withstand at least 0.5 kN/m in linear load, and in cases where the railing includes glass, it is safety glass designed to prevent injuries in case of impact.

    CLASS C

    C-rated railings are suitable for use at ground level. In cases where the railing includes glass, it is safety glass designed to prevent injuries in case of impact. A railing may become C-rated if Balustradedesign, together with you as the customer, makes a modification to the railing that deviates from our standard. C-rated indicates that this specific configuration has not been tested.

    CUSTOMISABLE RAILING HEIGHT

    In our configurator, you can choose a railing height between 800 mm and 1100 mm from the ground to the top of the railing.
