Design Types

Whether you’re providing safety for balconies, staircases or pools, we can help you find the right style for your property. Even if you’re looking for just a clear glass balustrade, the look of it can change dramatically with the way you fit it – cantilevered, bolted or frameless, by setting the glass into a continuous clamp channel to maximise views and minimise intrusion.

Another idea is to use aluminium, stainless steel or timber to frame your glass. The panels can be fully framed (four edge support) or two or three edge support, which can also include a handrail.

Handrails are an important consideration, but may not always be required. There are two types of handrail – load supporting or non-load supporting. Supporting handrails are usually mechanically fixed independent of the glass (as is the case with most framed glass designs), but can also be connected to the glass for aesthetic purposes. With non-supporting handrails the glass takes the load. Even if a handrail is fixed to the glass it does not provide any structural integrity – it’s just there to look great.

A Little Extra

If you’re wanting a little more privacy or want to add a little of your own style, we have a range of glass surface effects available. Things like frosting, translucence and decorative laminating will give you a unique look in any environment.

Open Up

Our range of balustrade systems are often used to form 1200mm high safety fences for pools, so we’ve designed a way to keep that sleek glass style going on the gate as well.
