Where can I find a frameless glass channel for a balustrade?

Can anyone advise me where I can source in the UK, stainless steel or aluminium channel (I've seen it on the web in Australia, 110 x 65mm). This is to be fastened onto the gallery floor, screeded and tiles up to it to lose the channel. Then toughened glass resined into place to create a frameless balustrade. Any help will be appreciated.

Many thanks. Yes, this is the system, but I need the one which is fastened through the base so that I can sit it directly on top of the floor joists, then screed up to the channel, thus hiding the channel. This one is a side fix system. If you know about this second system, I would be pleased to hear from you.
