Why Glass Balustrades Are a Smart Choice
A glass balustrade isn’t just a safety feature, it’s a design element that elevates the space. Homeowners love the seamless look; architects value the design flexibility; builders appreciate the ease of installation and compliance.
We often work with clients looking to open up their decks, balconies, or pool areas, without the heavy visual impact of timber or steel fencing. A recent project in Brighton involved an aluminium glass balustrade system for a multi-level deck, combining stainless steel and glass balustrade elements for strength and style. The result? A space that felt twice as big and infinitely more elegant.
Types of Glass Balustrades We Design and Install
At Walnut, we offer a range of glass balustrade systems, each engineered for its specific application:
Type | Best For | Frame Material | Key Benefit |
Frameless Glass Balustrade | Balconies, premium decks | None (channel set) | Uninterrupted views |
Aluminium Glass Balustrade | Balconies, stairs, commercial spaces | Powder-coated aluminium | Low maintenance, colour options |
Stainless and Glass Balustrade | Coastal environments, high-traffic use | Marine-grade stainless steel | Exceptional strength & corrosion resistance |
Pool Glass Balustrade | Swimming pool surrounds | Frameless or semi-frameless | Meets pool safety compliance |
Meeting Glass Balustrade Australian Standards
Safety is never optional. Every Walnut balustrade is designed in line with glass balustrade Australian Standards, ensuring:
The correct glass thickness for load requirements
Proper height and spacing to prevent falls
Secure fixing systems such as glass balustrade channels for frameless designs
Optional glass balustrade handrails for added support
For swimming pool glass balustrades, we adhere to all pool fencing regulations, so you can enjoy your pool area with complete peace of mind.
Design Considerations for Your Project
When planning your glazed balustrade or glass balustrade for decking, we look at:
Aesthetics – Frameless vs semi-frameless, tinted vs clear glass
Environment – Coastal corrosion resistance, UV exposure
Functionality – Privacy needs, child safety, integration with stairs or gates
Longevity – Selecting fixings and materials that withstand Australia’s conditions
We’ll guide you through whether a stainless steel and glass balustrade or an aluminium glass balustrade best suits your project, factoring in both visual impact and performance.
