Product Overview

Australian-made in 12mm toughened safety glass with polished edges, our Frameless Balustrade systems can be custom cut and shaped to accommodate challenging installation spaces, such as spiral staircases and multi-level balconies.

Depending on the positioning and style of frameless glass balustrade, there are a variety of fixing methods available for consideration. All mechanical fixings are 316 stainless steel, while channel fixed balustrades are installed using specialised non-shrink grout. For achieving privacy, decorative options such as ImagInk ceramic printing can be added to frameless glass balustrades.

We can supply and install a variety of stainless steel handrail systems such as square or circular profile. Timber handrails will need to be sourced separately, however we can install the brackets required for fixing.

FAQs

Browse some of our most commonly asked questions below. Can't see your answer? Please call us on 1300 040 799 or get in touch via the contact form below.

Is a handrail necessary for frameless glass balustrades in Australia?

If your balustrade is more than 1m above floor level, building codes require the installation of a handrail. However, a balustrade without a handrail is possible through a Performance Solution under the National Construction Code (NCC), requiring engineering design and certification. Vista View is an approved balustrade system for installation without a handrail.

Can frameless glass balustrades be customised to fit specific design preferences?

Yes, Vista View frameless glass balustrades can be customised to meet specific design preferences, including glass shapes, types, finishes, and hardware.

Are there any specific cleaning requirements for SGP laminated glass balustrades?

Regular cleaning with a mild detergent and water is usually sufficient. Avoid abrasive materials to prevent scratches.

Are there height restrictions for frameless glass balustrades without a handrail in Australia?

The BCA typically requires residential balustrades to be at least 1000mm in height and 865mm for non-residential buildings. Local variations or specific project requirements may apply, so we advise you check for the most up-to-date information based on your location and project circumstances.
