Elegant Balustrades to Withstand Everyday Pressures

Balustrades face daily stresses and loads. However, we use a minimum of 12 mm-thick, toughened, frameless glass balustrades that withstand the pressures of everyday use and meet the strict Australian standards. We will advise and guide you on the best fixing method and design your elegant balustrade.

Frameless glass fixing systems can comprise of the following:

Stainless Steel Glass Anchors (standoffs): 

This fixing method is when the glass is bolted to the side of a concrete floor slab or nib wall, secured with stainless steel bolt fixings.

Stainless Steel Spigots: 

A spigot is a low-height mini-post into which the frameless glass panel slots and is secured. A spigot is fixed either to the finished floor surface, i.e. a timber deck, or core-drilled into a concrete substrate and grouted in

Channel Fixings: 

With this fixing method, the frameless glass is grouted into either a recessed channel in the concrete slab or into a structural aluminium channel that is attached to your Finished Floor Level and bolted through to the substrate below

Do you have a pool in your backyard as well? If so, we also custom make frameless glass pool fencing to match your balustrades.

Our glass balustrades are extremely durable, made of toughened glass panels, and perfect for outdoor applications. They can withstand heat, rain, strong winds and harsh weather, as we use premium materials and cutting-edge technologies to formulate them. 

Easy Maintenance

Balustrades are much easier to maintain than other barrier options because of their simple and minimalistic design. Logically, it’s just having a long sheet of glass to clean. Hence, all that is needed is a cleaner and the right tools. 

NSW Safety & Compliance

Our glass balustrades are installed to create a barrier and offer safety and protection from fall hazards, especially where there is a change in floor levels or a drop between two spaces. The toughened glass used in balustrades minimises the risk of breaking. When installed by our professionals, they follow Australian and NSW safety standards.

Applications of Frameless Glass Balustrades

Balcony Glass Balustrades

Imagine a long and spacious balcony surrounded by glass barriers. This would definitely transform even an old-fashioned space!

Remember that balustrades used in any construction project are not only for aesthetics. They are actually made of sturdy glass, making them a perfect solution for spaces that need to offer protection.

Staircase Glass Balustrades

Staircases in commercial and residential settings must offer the right balance between safety and design. Balustrade upgrades offer safety and protection. They preserve the minimalistic appeal and make staircases less accident-prone.

Pool Glass Fencing

Pool glass fences look extremely classy and upgrade the entire look of your pool area. In addition, they also enhance the safety of the pool, making sure that your pets and children stay away from the water.

Deck & Patio Glass Balustrades

Decks and patios are often slightly elevated from the garden, so adding a barricade enhances their safety. For designers, architects, and homeowners who want a simple yet elegant barricade, glass balustrades are the best choice.

Installation Process & Quality Standards

The installation process for glass balustrades is not very complicated. However, it is definitely not a DIY project for novices. For a smooth finish, it is best to call in the professionals.

Here are the steps that are involved in the installation:

Consultation and Planning

It all begins with a thorough, detailed consultation where we discuss the architectural layout, design direction, and the function of the space. Whether it is a staircase with its balustrades or a balcony with its barriers, every part is taken into account and is made sure it complies with aesthetic and compliance standards like NCC and BCA.

Digital Precision Diagnostics

Our technicians use digital laser-level equipment to record all measurements to the millimetre. These measurements are key in making sure that each glass panel fits your space perfectly, even around angled or curved structures.

Custom Fabrication

Your balustrade is made to order in high-quality, toughened safety glass. Choose from clear, frosted or colour-backed glass with finishes selected in hardware to suit the style of your project.

Professional Installation

Our installers use sophisticated lifting and positioning equipment to set each glass panel with precision and firmness. We use engineered spigots and fittings to provide structural integrity, longevity and a nearly seamless appearance.

Post-Production and Compliance

Prior to handover, we peek into every nook and cranny, checking alignment, stability, and finish against our rigorous internal quality standards and Australian safety regulations. For instance, the height must be at least 1 metre. For stairs more than 4 metres high, there shouldn’t be any climbable elements between 150mm and 760mm from the floor. The gap should have an opening of no more than 125 mm to ensure optimal safety for the people living there. We also thoroughly clean and polish the glass and fittings, ready to impress.
