Frameless and Semi-Frameless Glass Balustrades
Glass balustrades are an excellent choice when you want to maintain views and create a light, contemporary feel. They work particularly well around elevated decks and balconies, allowing gardens, landscapes and surrounding views to remain visible rather than being blocked by a solid barrier.
We install both frameless and semi-frameless glass systems, with the design selected according to the property and the look you want to achieve.
Frameless Glass Balustrades
Frameless glass provides a clean, minimal finish with limited visible hardware. Depending on the system, glass panels can be secured using suitable spigots, channels or other supporting components.
This style is particularly effective where uninterrupted views are important, including properties overlooking gardens, coastal areas or other open surroundings.
Semi-Frameless Glass Balustrades
Semi-frameless systems combine glass panels with supporting posts, typically creating a more defined structure while retaining much of the openness of glass.
Aluminium or stainless steel components can provide a sleek finish that complements contemporary homes, decks and outdoor entertaining areas.
Safety Glass for Outdoor Applications
Glass used for balustrades needs to be appropriate for its intended application. We use suitable safety glass and supporting hardware for residential installations, with specifications determined by the project's requirements.
Timber Balustrades for a Natural Finish
Timber balustrades offer a warmer, more traditional alternative to glass. They work naturally with timber decking, outdoor stairs and landscaped areas, making them a versatile choice for many Auckland homes.
We can work with suitable treated timber and hardwood options depending on the location, exposure and appearance required. Designs can be kept simple and contemporary or tailored to complement existing architectural and timber features.
Timber Balustrade Designs
Timber balustrades can incorporate different configurations, including vertical balusters, horizontal elements and decorative features. We can discuss the available options based on the style of your property and the existing outdoor structures.
Where a balustrade is being added to an existing deck or staircase, we can also consider the existing materials and finishes to create a more cohesive result.
Built for Outdoor Conditions
Exterior balustrades need to withstand exposure to New Zealand's weather. We select suitable materials and construction methods for the intended application, with proper preparation and installation helping support the durability of the finished structure.
Balustrades That Meet NZ Safety Requirements
A balustrade is first and foremost a safety barrier, so its design and installation need to meet the requirements that apply to the property and structure.
New Zealand Building Code provisions relating to safety from falling cover matters such as barrier height, openings, strength and fixing. The specific requirements can vary depending on the location and type of structure.
We consider these requirements when planning and installing balustrades, including how the barrier will be securely fixed to the supporting structure.
Our Balustrade Installation Process
Every project begins with an assessment of the area and the existing structure. This helps us determine the appropriate design, materials and installation requirements.
Site Assessment and Measurements
We inspect the deck, balcony, staircase or other installation area and take accurate measurements. We also assess the supporting structure and identify any factors that could affect the installation.
Design and Material Selection
We discuss your preferred appearance and compare suitable timber and glass options. The choice can be based on factors such as privacy, visibility, maintenance, architectural style and the surrounding landscaping.
Quoting and Project Planning
Once the requirements are established, we provide a clear quote for the proposed work and discuss the expected project timeframe.
Fabrication and Preparation
Glass panels are prepared to the required specifications, while timber components are cut and prepared according to the agreed design and measurements.
Installation and Fixing
Our team installs the selected balustrade system using appropriate posts, spigots, channels, fixings or other components. We take care to achieve accurate alignment and secure connections throughout the installation.
Final Inspection
Once installation is complete, we check the finished balustrade for stability, alignment and overall finish before completing the project.
