Glass Balustrades FAQs
What type of glass is used for balustrades?
For our balustrades we use toughened safety glass or toughened laminated safety glass to meet New Zealand safety standards. The exact glass specification depends on the balustrade design and structural requirements.
Do glass balustrades need a handrail?
It depends on the application and type of glass used. We’ll advise you during the quoting process on what’s required for your specific situation.
How do you mount them?
We offer a variety of mounting systems to suit different styles and applications. Options include posts, mini posts, channel-fixed systems, and disc fixings. Posts and mini posts provide visible structural support, while channel-fixed and disc-mounted systems create a more minimalist appearance with less hardware visible. The best mounting method depends on the design, location, and performance requirements of your project.
Can you add Enduro Shield?
Yes. Enduro Shield is a permanent easy-clean coating that repels water and grime. Particularly useful for outdoor balustrades exposed to weather.
