Framing and fixing options
Balustrades range from semi-frameless with slim posts, to channel-fixed where the glass sits in a base channel, to fully frameless with discreet clamps or spigots. More glass on show and less visible hardware means a higher price. The right choice depends on the setting, the drop below, and the look you are after.
Compliance: heights, gaps and glass grade
SA rules set the minimum balustrade height and the maximum gaps, and they specify the glass grade for the situation. For a balcony with a drop, or an overhead application, laminated glass is typically required so that if it ever breaks it holds together rather than falling. A good installer designs to the rules from the start.
