Frequently Asked Questions About Glass Balustrades
What are glass balustrades?
The basic concept behind the design of a glass balustrade is fairly simple. It consists of heat soaked 12mm toughened glass fixed into heavy duty 2205 stainless steel clamps which together can resist a heavy load.
Glass balustrades are featured on balconies, stairways, and decking areas across Newcastle and the Central Coast. As well as providing critical fall protection, they are aesthetically pleasing safety barriers that can add a touch of class to any home or building.
How long would a glass balustrades project take to complete?
The completion time of a glass balustrade project will differ from one project to the next. The two main factors that determine completion time include the size of installation and the complexity of the project. Other additional factors such as weather, production time etc. could also potentially influence the project completion timeframe.
The majority of our projects will be completed within 2 to 4 weeks. This time period includes everything from initial site inspection to final installation.
Timeframes will differ on a project to project basis – the above is merely a guideline and a more concrete timeline will be established after the initial site inspection.
Are glass balustrades required by law in NSW, Australia?
According to the Building Code of Australia (BCA) balustrades are required by law in NSW, Australia under the following circumstances:

- Any stairway, ramp, floor, corridor, hallway, corridor, balcony, verandah, mezzanine, access bridge or the like and along the side of any path that provides access to a building if – it isn’t bounded by a wall or if any level of the above mentioned is more than 1m above the adjacent floor or ground level.
What maintenance requirements do glass balustrades have?
Glass balustrades, in general, require little to low maintenance, they do however require a good clean on a regular basis. Fancy soaps etc. aren’t required, a simple solution of warm water and mild dishwashing liquid/detergent will suffice to get rid of general dirt and grime.
What are your glass balustrade with timber handrail and other handrail options?
A variety of handrail finishes and styles are available.
One popular option is a glass balustrade with a timber handrail, which pairs the clean look of glass with the warmth of natural wood – ideal for both indoor staircases and outdoor decking areas. Another widely chosen style is 316 grade stainless steel. Stainless steel handrails feature a sleek metal finish that complements the modern design of glass balustrades, and they don’t corrode – a particularly important quality for properties along the Central Coast where coastal conditions can be harsh.
What type of glass is used for balustrades?
Minimum requirements for standard frameless glass balustrade installations is 12mm toughened glass. Glass thickness will differ depending on the customer’s needs and wants as well as on the complexity of the design. All glass comes with a certificate of compliance.
Do balcony balustrades require a handrail?
A handrail is required if the height, of the drop-off from the ground level, is above 1000mm
What height should glass balustrades be?
The Australian standard height for all balustrades is 1000mm (1m). This number is merely a guideline, in some cases, it will be recommended to install a higher glass balustrade instead to ensure safety.
Do you offer supply only glass balustrades?
The installation of a glass balustrade is an intricate process, and due to its complexity we don’t offer supply only glass balustrades. Whether it’s balustrades and handrails Newcastle for a staircase renovation or balustrades Newcastle for a new build, it is vital that the installation is carried out by a qualified professional. Glass balustrades double up as safety features on balconies, verandahs, and staircases – and a faulty installation puts both aesthetics and safety at risk.
