Frameless glass balustrades basically give you a glass wall that looks elegant and open expansive style to any home or office building. No need for heavy metal or wooden railings around stairwells or balcony. They can also protect pool areas or sunken alcoves etc.

Even without the use of heavy frames or supports for the glass panels these frameless balustrades are strong and safe. Modern engineering has allowed for the minimalisation of the supports. Today’s glass technology has created safety glass that is self supporting and strong enough to create panels that can stand with only small clips, stirrup stands or can stand upright when glued or fused in small channels.

In some places, safety grab bars are also required. The panels used in a railing of this kind are safety glass that has been tempered to withstand both weight and other force that would normally shatter regular products. Each panel is about 10 to 12 millimeters thick and the edges are beveled so that they are not sharp and cutting.

The glass panels for the balustrade or fencing can be customised in many ways. They can be shaped for curved areas, tinted, etched or sandblasted to create a variety of styles to suite any architectural situation.

The glass panels for the frameless balustrade or fence can be embedded in concrete or mounted on the surface of the flooring. Either a shoe mount made of stainless steel or aluminium and they use a special clip to keep the panels in place plus a special wet or dry adhesive.

To install the panels to the steel or aluminium shoe or stirrup molding or to a vertical support, panel clips are used. Designed to hold panels ten millimeters thick and larger they grip the glass and are also bonded with adhesive or fused mechanically.

True frameless balustrades are fixed at the base only and have no top rail. Where a rail is required these can be minimised to a steel or aluminium cap that is clipped to the upper edge of the panel and fixed in place with special adhesive.

Regulations on cap rails differ from country to country and state to state depending on the position and use etc of the balustrade. Also the grade of glass panel influences the need for any additional support. If you are putting up the frameless glass balustrade in Perth, Australia, you may not need to include the cap rail, you must check the current legislation.

Knowing all the ins and outs of what styles are on the market, the latest legislation and right for your own situation is not easy.
