Frameless Glass Balustrade
The right balustrade should enhance your view, match your home, and meet NZ safety standards.
If views are important, glass balustrades are the ideal solution, providing a safe barrier without blocking sightlines. Aluminium post and glass systems offer a modern, cost-effective alternative, combining durability with a clean, minimalist look.
For a more traditional style, aluminium baluster balustrades are a popular, low-maintenance option and can be powder coated to suit your home’s design.
If you want the ultimate open finish, frameless glass balustrades deliver a premium, uninterrupted look using thicker toughened glass and discreet fixings.
Many homeowners choose a combination of systems to balance design, performance, and budget.
Choose from 3 different options for your glass balustrades
-
Toughened glass is up to five times stronger than standard annealed glass, allowing it to break into dull, safer edges. When using toughened glass for your balustrade, New Zealand standards require the addition of a handrail or top-capping system to ensure that surrounding glass panels remain secure in the unlikely event of breakage.
-
Toughened laminated glass is a safe and reliable choice for homeowners, as it ensures the glass remains bonded even if it breaks. According to current New Zealand standards, an interlinking clamp is required when using EVA laminated glass for balustrades to enhance stability and safety.
-
SentryGlasâ„¢ balustrades are the only type that can be installed in a fully frameless design. This is due to the unique interlayer in the glass, which is 100 times stronger and 5 times stiffer than conventional laminates. As a result, deflection is minimized, even in the unlikely event of the glass breaking, ensuring maximum safety and stability.

Balustrade Safety & Compliance
Balustrades play a critical role in protecting people from falls on elevated surfaces such as decks, balconies, and staircases with a fall height of one metre or more. Because of their safety function, balustrades must be carefully designed and installed to meet strict engineering and compliance requirements.
Our experienced team works alongside trusted designers and manufacturers to deliver balustrade systems that meet and exceed the New Zealand Building Code. Every project is assessed for site-specific conditions to ensure structural integrity, long-term durability, and full compliance.
The result is a balustrade that provides reliable safety, structural strength, and a high-quality finish suited to both residential and commercial applications.
