Balustrades
5 Star Windows & Conservatories are Registered Partners of Balconette.
Professionally fitted by 5 Star’s installation team, the Balconette range of balustrades have been designed to enhance every home. Sleek contemporary styling is seamlessly complimented by architectural glass panels to provide the very latest finish. In addition, we offer a choice of collections, handrails and other design details to suit most applications. Where required, we can supply bespoke balustrades for a unique and tailor-made solution.
The Hybrid® Orbit glass balustrade system comes with a circular handrail profile that provides a contemporary finish in every application.
A Hybrid® system is a composite system utilising both the glass and handrail to take loads, which reduces weight and allows the balustrade to span expansive lengths often without the need for vertical posts.
Key benefits in choosing an Orbit balustrade:
- The predominantly glass construction provides unobstructed views
- Areas with drop offs can be safely used by the whole family
- Enjoy the outdoors without being fully exposed to wind
- Glass is toughened for assured strength and durability
- Exceptional quality and service are supplied as standard
- Products are among the most innovative and technically advanced in the UK
- Handrails, bottom rails and brackets are rust free
- We provide a 10 year guarantee on paint finishes
- Systems are virtually maintenance free and can be simply cleaned with water
- Installations comply with Building Regulations

Combining our technical advances with traditional concepts...
By making technical improvements in the design of the glass balustrade structure we have been able to integrate the strength of precision-engineered handrail profiles, lighter glass and strong supporting base. The result is light, strong state-of-the-art glass balustrading that requires very few, and in some cases no, vertical supports.
Residential
- Horizontal uniformly distributed line load on handrail (at 1.1m handrail height) – 0.74 kN/m
- Uniformly distributed load applied to the glass infill – 1.0 kN/m2
- Point load on glass infill – 0.50 kN
Public
- Horizontal uniformly distributed line load on handrail (at 1.1m handrail height) – 1.5 kN/m
- Uniformly distributed load applied to the glass infill – 1.5 kN/m2
- Point load on glass infill – 1.5 kN
NB: it is assumed that the wall/structure being fixed to can support the required loads.
