What Is a Glass Balustrade
Glass balustrades are frameless glass panels supported by posts and rails that create barricades offering safety from fall risks on stairs, decks, balconies and other areas with level changes. The sturdy glass panels, lacking frames, are mounted onto supports and fasteners on railings and handrails to provide see-through barriers that protect from elevated drops while maintaining visibility and an open feel. By utilizing durable materials like glass panels and metal fasteners on railings, posts and supports, the frameless glass balustrade system safeguards spaces with elevation differentials like stairs, porches, terraces and balconies from fall hazards for inhabitants and visitors.
What Glass Balustrades Are the Popular Choice for Sydney homes.
When looking to add more space, glass balustrades with tempered or laminated glass of sufficient thickness and load capacity offer an alternative to costly renovations. The clear glass lets in light, making rooms feel more open. This makes frameless glass balustrades ideal for cramped indoor stairs and outdoor balcony fences, as building codes permit glass barriers ensuring safety. The customizability of mounting systems allows durably thickened glass panels to be installed as stylish balustrades that protect from falls while visually opening up stairwells and porches without occupying space. Glass balconies fence people in safely while not blocking desirable light and views. Sturdy glass material resists weather and wear from consistent use on busy steps and landings better than walls would. With appropriate thickness and lamination, transparent glass balustrades brighten rooms and maximize apparent space without major demolition or rebuilding existing structures.
Where Can I Install Glass Balustrades in Sydney?
Glass balustrades can be installed in a myriad of settings, offering flexibility alongside aesthetic appeal. From balconies to staircases, and pool areas, the options are limitless.
What to Look for in a Glass Balustrade Installer?
When looking for a glass balustrade installer, consider their experience, standards compliance, and the quality of glass balustrades they install.
What Are the Benefits of Glass Balustrading?
Glass balustrading offers many benefits. It offers a clear, unobstructed view, making it a popular choice for Sydney properties with a view or for pool fencing. It’s also a safety feature, as the toughened safety glass panels used are very difficult to break. Moreover, glass balustrades are designed to meet the highest quality standards, making them a great long-term investment for your home or commercial property.
What Types of Glass Are Used in Frameless Glass Railing Systems?
The type of glass used in frameless glass railing systems is typically tempered or toughened safety glass. This kind of glass is much stronger than regular glass and, in the rare event that it does break, it shatters into small pieces instead of large shards, reducing the risk of injury. Laminated glass can also be used for increased safety and durability.
Can Glass Balustrades Be Installed on Balconies?
Glass balustrades can absolutely be installed on balconies. In fact, they are a popular option for glass balconies due to their durability and the clear view they provide. Whether you opt for a framed, semi-frameless, or frameless design, these balustrades are made to withstand outdoor conditions while providing safety.
Avoid Cheap Glass Balustrades
Tempted by low-cost offers for glass balustrades in Sydney? It’s understandable. Home renovations or constructions can be costly, and finding savings on components like glass balustrades can seem sensible.
However, lower prices often signal compromises in quality. High-grade building materials, like those used in glass balcony railings or frameless glass balustrades, usually come at a fair price, reflecting the cost of maintaining a sustainable business. Here’s how manufacturers might reduce costs for glass balustrades:
Compromised Safety Glass
Safety glass, crucial in products like glass pool fences in Sydney, is a legal necessity. It’s not just for transparency; it’s for safety. Some manufacturers might skimp on safety glass in cheap balustrades. The absence of tempered or laminated glass can become painfully apparent only after an accident. Investing in safety glass with a trusted supplier, such as The Australian Glass Balustrade Authority in Sydney, ensures durability and compliance, avoiding the risks associated with regular plate glass.
Inferior Metal Quality:
Initially, all metals look good. However, with time, the metal used in cheaper balustrades, like aluminum frames in outdoor glass balustrades, may show rust or stains, demanding extra upkeep.
Excessive Hardware:
Quality glass balustrades, such as custom glass balustrades, are designed with minimal posts for an unobstructed view. Cheaper alternatives might lack structural integrity, requiring more posts, clamps, and visible hardware, affecting the aesthetic appeal.
Substandard Finishing:
Cheap glass balustrades may lack the meticulous crafting seen in products like glass balcony panels or glass deck railing. You might find uneven glass cuts, rough metal finishes, or inconsistent craftsmanship – minor flaws that collectively detract from the overall appearance and feel of the installation.
How Much Does Glass Balustrade Cost in 2024 ?
For frameless glass balustrades using 12mm tempered or heat soaked glass, supply only costs around $145 per lineal meter with spigots and handrail. Void or face fixed systems start at $175 per meter in 2024.
Supply of semi-frameless pool fencing with infill panels begins at $90 per lineal meter. Semi-frameless glass balustrades start at $125 per meter including posts and nanorail.
Installed prices for frameless glass balustrades average $299 per meter with 12mm laminated panels, spigots and handrail. Complex curved assemblies can cost over $1950 per meter installed.
Gates range from $219 for 8mm tempered glass to $590 for thicker 12mm privacy glass, including hinges and latch. Installation adds $150-200 per gate. Thickness and laminated options impact durability and load capacity.
With proper design using sufficiently thick glass, codes permit frameless glass barriers offering unobstructed views that brighten stairwells and balconies safely. Maintenance involves keeping materials free of residue. Consult an expert for advice selecting the appropriate type of mounting method, thickness and glass for your setting and budget.

DO YOUR RESEARCH
How To Choose A Glass Balustrade
1. Do Your Research
To ensure you select the correct size, type and quality of glass panels and stainless steel fittings, do your research and consult with the client. Make sure that appropriate permissions, permits and licences have been sought so that the installation of the glass balustrade is not compromised. Patience and care is required so that the glass balustrade remains structurally sound.
2. Complement the Design of The Property
Your clients want you to provide your insight as to how to make the glass balustrade complement the existing look, or new design, of the property. You need to keep up with the latest designs to ensure that you can provide helpful design tips so your clients are comfortable with your opinion. For example, you might consider a postless glass stair balustrade that is supported by the handrail since it provides a wide and uninterrupted view.
3. Glass Panel Specifications
Our glass insert panels are fabricated from quality toughened glass. We stock glass in either 10 or 12 mm and we can fabricate panel dimensions according to your design specification. Our frameless panels with either polished or bevelled edges are easy to clean, resistant to environmental conditions, and retain its shape and look for years to come. These considerations are important, so much so that the glass balustrade you install requires less maintenance over the long-term.
Frameless vs Semi Frameless: Which is Right for You?
The choice between frameless and semi-frameless glass balustrades often comes down to personal preference. Both options offer distinct advantages, with frameless options providing a seamless, panoramic view, and semi-frameless choices bringing a different aesthetic element to the surroundings.

Client Testimonials
They showed up on time, really fast. Really Great! Called them on Friday afternoon only asking for a quote for my Chester Hill house, beat another competitor who was offering a lower quality on cost/price that day, and installed the pool fencing . Looks great, works excellent, fast simple setup that is friendly. Thank you for keeping my grand children safe!
My name is Lallie, I had a glass balustrade that needed to be cut and made I talk to them came over and measured and did a great job everything was done when they said it was going to be done very impressed with the company will use them again for my next glass job that I need thank you.
I had a great experience with Balustrade Sydney Authority. I’m very satisfied with their customer service and price. I first reached out to them in December 2018 and had my fence installed by the January 2019! I’d highly recommend them to anyone in the market for frameless glass fencing for their pool or patio.
Our new house in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney inhabits a hillside setting with commanding views over the Sydney Harbour. The layout planned to maximise these panoramic views with matching railings and glass balustrade balcony and the master bedroom leading from the lounge and a balcony system that is first class was of prime significance to the aesthetics of the building.
The words ‘amazing’ and ‘adore your balcony’ are frequently used. It is loved by us and in our head, the baluster represents excellent value over and above any other system. Thank you again.
They were really simple to speak with during the estimating procedure. They showed up on time for the approximation appointment in Baulkham Hills.
I ‘d three estimates for my pool fence, they were just $10 more in relation to the lowest bidder but I favored their fencing product over the competition.
The Sydney Balustrade Authority definitely recommended by us to anyone contemplating a pool fence. EXCELLENT CUSTOMER CARE!
The fence looks amazing, and very best of all I ‘ve peace of mind knowing my little toddler will probably not be dangerous in the backyard with us. We adore it.
Following my recent decision to considerably expand the size of my property in Sydney (Manly), I ‘d wanted to add 2 new Glass / Stainless Steel balconies to my property.
After consultation with all the producers, The Balustrade Authority of Sydney, I asked for a quote to install these balustrade / balconies.
From first contact to delivery, they were a joy to work with. From consultation and initial design as the depth of the balcony grew from first discussions to making minor changes, the guys went out of their way to make certain the exacting standards were matched for our job. 5* service.
We could have purchased a marginally more economical one yet the balustrade we needed for our decks & pergolas wouldn’t have been the same. With this glass balcony system we get compliments constantly from passers by, it seems amazing, what our home in Chatswood looks like now, thanks guys
I left a msg. one Sunday morning and he texted me back in 5 min. with a quotation for our driving school liverpool office
The glass fence and the gate look excellent, work flawlessly and we believe the pool area is protected as well as the children are safe. He also provided his guidance in my Liverpool, NSW office , I can not imagine not having this fence. Great work!
