Fixing device, balustrade and method of fixing

A fixing device 1 for attaching a glass balustrade 4 to a horizontal structural element 2, having a first arm 10 perpendicular to a second 11. The first arm attaches to the balustrade and the second arm secures to the upper surface of the support element in a cantilever fashion. The L-shaped bracket may have a first engagement device having a first fastening element 28 retained within the first arm, connected to a second fastening element 27 passing through the balustrade. There may be a second engagement device having a third fastening element 22 secured to the support and extending through the second arm to engage with a forth fastening element 24. The device may be cast metal, and have angular or vertical adjustment 26 relative to the structural element. The lower edge 41 of the balustrade may extend below the surface level of the structural element. The device allows installation from the support element rather than scaffolding.
