A NEW PRODUCT FAMILY

The view stays simple.
The specification does the hard work.

A good balustrade is part architecture, part safety system. The glass, interlayer, channel or posts, anchors and supporting edge all work together to resist the required loads.

We help homeowners, architects and contractors choose a system that protects the edge without overwhelming the building — and develop the detail before manufacture begins.

SYSTEM COMPARISON

Frameless or
post and rail?

Both can create a compliant, long-lasting glass barrier. The right answer depends on the view, handrail preference, substrate, geometry, loads and budget.

FRAMELESS

Aluminium base shoe

Minimal visual interruption
Top, side or recessed fixing options
Typically toughened laminated glass
Best coordinated early with the slab edge
SUPPORTED

Stainless steel post & rail

Defined continuous handrail
Adapts well to stairs and changes of level
Shorter glass spans between posts
Round or square architectural profiles

PRIVACY WITHOUT CLOSING IN THE SPACE

Control the view.
