Frameless, semi-frameless, or channel-set
Frameless glass sits on discreet stainless spigots and reads as almost nothing, which is why it is the choice for a harbour balcony or a feature stair. Semi-frameless uses slim posts for a lower cost and a more forgiving install. A continuous base channel gives the cleanest sightline of all. We will tell you which suits your outlook, your budget and your fixings.
Glass that meets AS 1288
Balustrade glass is Grade A safety glass, toughened or laminated depending on where it sits and whether it has to stay in place if it breaks. A frameless panel with no top rail usually needs to be laminated so a cracked panel holds together. It is not the same product as a shower screen, and we specify the grade and thickness for the load and the location.
Fixings and finish
The hardware is where a glass job lasts or fails. We use quality stainless spigots and fixings, marine grade where the salt air demands it, and we detail the fixing to the substrate you actually have, whether that is concrete, steel or timber. Hardware can be satin, mirror or black to match the rest of the build.
