If i was mat i would've had that wall taken down and replaced it with all glass. I wouldn't want any obstructions of that amazing view.

[@zzuma-gc4fm]

there would be far to much work for such little gain you look at the view not your backgarden if you want to see the view get up and go stand at the wall and even if you did make that wall completley glass you would spend half your time cleaning the chuff

[@Hari-tt6qf]

wtf this is the exact balustrade me and my dad installed on our house. funny cause built it the same way you guys did lol. although we drilled into solid stone not brick. our wall had really difficult angles and stairs with 3 angles. our glass pains are like 3 times the height and was a paint to install but we love it so much. glad we did it ourselves since we are perfectionists. adjusting the glass was hard cause i had to be up a ladder on the other side tightening it in 😂 we did not have that tool included. but well done lads so much cleaner than any glass balustrade with a chrome rail on top.

[@lluccas1]

Incredible work, as it was installed on the elevation of the house, was planning permission necessary?

[@homeimprovements]

No it wasn’t required on this project

[@dimi_iii]

are there no gaskets that close the hole at the bottom of the gaps between the glasspanels?? like if it rains it could fill the alu-profile... sure it wont rust but can water drain out somewhere?

[@homeimprovements]

Good spot there are slots on the rear of the channel to allow it to drain 😊😊

[@CraigMansfield]

I like it. I don't agree a dark colour would have been better, because with the bricks being dark, you'd have quite a height of that dark palette. I like it as it is. When you nakkers get a country house, you can decide what to do with it. (I'm waiting for the "actually I've got......." Blah blah blah 😂) I like it. Looks good.

[@driftydoristv]

It’s not a learning curve It’s a lesson

[@homeimprovements]

My bad

[@dannysprogis8446]

Am I wrong or is setting those bolts in epoxy the wrong way to do it? You will never get them out again if needed. Not to mention tightening them after the epoxy sets only to break the epoxy apart and weakening it. Surely a Ramset or dynabolt is the way to do it ?

[@homeimprovements]

This is exactly how there designed to be used bud if the epoxy breaks from tightening then I’ll pay you a £1000 🤣 it’s stronger than concrete 💪🏼💪🏼 you can use other methods but that won’t fair well with engineering bricks they’ll crack and won’t hold 👌🏼

[@backtonatureitis]

I would tear down the brick wall and install the glass balustrade straight on the floor so I would have a better visibility from inside the house.

[@homeimprovements]

Yeah good shout a lot of structural work thoe 🙌

[@tomtht3355]

What pull test did you carry out on the soldier course ?

[@homeimprovements]

19/450 pull test turn just above average. ✅

[@nosubtv4242]

Is there a reason for the gaps between the glass? also, Kevin could jump halfway onto the brick and easily jump over the glass

[@homeimprovements]

Yes it’s how it was designed not sure on specifics

[@SanDer-eu7sb]

The glass panels need an expansion gap and because the edges of the glass panels will always be visible, a wider gap gives it a more esthetically pleasing finish. If the gaps would be minimal, the edges so close together become more of an eye sore. This is what a manufacturer explained me during a trades show. Stellar work though!

[@ewolmullac6706]

How’s does the export resin bolts work? As I assume the resin sets to the thread of the bolt but once set it’ll be bottomed out so if you tighten it surely it would crack the resin thread?

[@jbmaintenanceservices2699]

It looked like it was a nut on a threaded rod, so the nut would push the track down…well at least that’s what I think….

[@ewolmullac6706]

The threaded bar gose off in the resin and then tighten the nut up 😊

[@CapeGlam]

Great work guys that those look quit dated though, there are a lot more slicker footers you could have used that would look better with the brick and the glass than that chunky aluminium base u used.

[@OneExtra-fk5ss]

I thought the frame was very high when compared to the amount of glass used.

Looks good, but will the channel fill up with rain water as there is no seal between glass and glass?

Could the profile not have been fitted somehow on the inside of the brick. Drill through the profile into the face of the brick. Cap/plug inner side of profile. Would then only see glass from darn on da grraaand.

[@boogiedownbronx73]

Personally i would have added cement to the bricks, flatten it even so you dont see the bricks anymore...then added maybe metal frame on top to increase the height.

You got the lifting part wrong. You're first supposed to whip your head back quickly to engage your neck muscles; this helps to really get the weight off the ground. Only after you've done that, then you strain with the back while at the same time thrusting your hips forward. Works every time!!

i think if your dog can get over the small bit of wall, he's probably smart enough to boost off the top of the wall and parkour over the glass, you might need to put some netting or fancy fencing on top of the glass, coz little dogs like your's can jump quite high, hope you find a solution, or take down the wall and put up all glass for the amazing view's.
