B and M Glass offer several forms of structural glass balustrading as an alternative to timber or aluminium framed options. Glass provides a contemporary look with fewer vertical joins or horizontal supports giving a less obstructed view.
Glass balustrades are ideal for balconies, staircases, pool fences and other applications where fencing is required. Glass balustrades provide a barrier while allowing you to achieve uninterrupted views and provide a windbreak.
Frameless glass balustrading as with pool fencing is subject to standards and regulations such as the BCA: Building Code of Australia. Our glass is high quality toughened glass which conforms to AS1288(2006) and AS1170.2: Wind load code.
Contemporary round, oval or square stainless capping handrail selections available. Interlinking handrails are required when the fall is greater than 1000mm.
