Glass balustrading - For A Clear View
A deck or balcony is a very popular and fun thing to have. Of course one of the most important aspects of any deck is the balustrade or railing.
There are strict laws and regulations governing the requirements of a balustrade. Glass Balustrading companies will be able to assist you in providing the best solution to meet the regulations and your specific requirements. It should be noted that recent changes in glass codes mean that any balustrade that is more than 1.0m off the ground will require a load bearing handrail. This means that previously used frameless or semi-frameless balustrades now require a horizontal handrail across the top to withstand Australian Standard loading requirements.
Glass Balustrades or Railings have become very common in recent years as they offer great appeal whilst not obstructing the view from inside the property.
This type of glass fence or balustrade can be produced in a variety including:
- Fully framed - where the glass has a complete frame all the way around it and is glazed into the aluminium or stainless steel support structure
- Partially framed - often the glass is only glazed into the side posts leaving an exposed edge of glass along the bottom and possibly along the top edge depending on whether it is glazed into the top handrail or not. All exposed edges of glass will generally be chamfered and polished
- Cantilevered Glass Fencing and Balustrades - this is where the glass is connected to the floor using either spigots or continuous channel. For balcony balustrades and structural handrail is then fitted continuously on top of the glass panels.
