Our High-Performance Glass Balustrades Brisbane Range

We refuse to compromise on quality. Our technical specifications are derived from years of hands-on experience in the Brisbane construction industry. Below are the core configurations we manufacture and install.

External Frameless Glass Balustrades

Designed specifically for balconies, terraces, and pool areas, this system offers completely uninterrupted views. This system is perfect for modern Brisbane aesthetics, providing a seamless barrier against the wind while maintaining an open-plan feel.

Toughened Glass
We utilise 12mm (or thicker, depending on engineering requirements) Toughened Safety Glass that meets all Australian Standards.
High-Strength Spigots
The panels are secured using high-strength, corrosion-resistant stainless steel spigots (available in polished, satin, or matte black finishes).

Internal Stair & Void Balustrades

Bring light and space into your home with our internal frameless solutions. Suitable for staircases and mezzanine voids, these balustrades replace clunky timber spindles with sleek glass.

Fixing Methods
We use pinned (stand-off) fixings or concealed channel systems to create a floating glass effect.

Safety Toughened
The glass is strictly heat-toughened to withstand impact, ensuring safety for families with children while modernising the interior.

The Challenge

Solving the Safety vs. Style Dilemma

The primary challenge many Brisbane builders and homeowners face is finding a barrier solution that meets strict safety codes without looking bulky or industrial.

Traditional timber or steel railings often block the very views you bought your house for, while cheap, DIY glass kits can suffer from rattling, corrosion, or worse—non-compliance with Australian Standards.

Our Solution

Custom Engineered Systems

We solve this by providing custom-engineered glass systems that are specifically designed for your structural substrate, be it concrete, timber, or steel. Many generic providers fail to account for the specific wind loads required for high-set Brisbane decks or coastal balconies.

Our experienced team calculates exactly what thickness of glass and which fixing method is required to ensure absolute rigidity and safety. By choosing us, you eliminate the risk of wobbly panels or hardware that rusts after one wet season.

Our Direct-to-You Installation Process

Our process is designed to be seamless and transparent, ensuring you know exactly who is on your site and what is happening at every stage.

Consultation

A senior member of our team visits your property to assess the structural integrity of your fixing points (decking, concrete slab, or stairs) and discusses your design preferences.

Measure

Precision is non-negotiable. We use advanced laser levels to ensure every millimetre is accounted for, allowing us to fabricate glass panels that fit perfectly.

Installation

Our uniformed team arrives in our own branded trucks. We protect your flooring, mechanically fix the spigots, set the glass with hydraulic precision, and apply the final sealant.

Handover

Finally, we perform a Quality Assurance Handover, ensuring the glass is spotless and providing you with the necessary certification documents immediately.

Strict Adherence to AS1288 Standards

Safety is the cornerstone of our business. All our installations strictly adhere to AS1288 (Glass in Buildings – Selection and Installation) and AS1170 (Structural Design Actions).

We do not cut corners on glass thickness or fixing depth. Upon completion of your project, we provide a Form 15 and Form 16 (compliance certificates), certifying that the materials used and the installation method meet all Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC) requirements.

This paperwork is essential for your peace of mind and is required for any future property sale or building inspection.

Caring for Your Glass and Hardware

To keep your wardrobe doors looking and operating like new, simple regular maintenance is required.

Tea Staining
Maintaining the clarity of your new balustrades is simple if done regularly. For the glass, we recommend washing with warm water and a mild detergent (like dishwashing liquid) using a soft microfiber cloth or sponge. Squeegee off the water to prevent spotting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a handrail?

In many cases, yes.

If the drop is over 1 metre, a continuous interlinking top rail is often required by Australian Standards unless specific structural glass engineering is used.

How thick is the glass?

Frameless balustrades typically use 12mm toughened glass.

Semi-frameless may use 10mm.

Does the stainless steel rust?

We use high-grade steel, but all stainless steel requires occasional cleaning (tea staining) especially near the coast.

Can you replace just one broken panel?

Yes, we can match existing glass panels for repairs.

Is it safe for children?

Yes, glass balustrades are difficult to climb (no footholds) and very strong.
