Frameless Glass Balustrades

These modern frameless glass barriers are designed for maximising views, with the most glass (and least aluminium fixings) on show. The ultimate ‘wow’ factor.

Frameless glass balustrade use less 'aluminium hardware' and instead rely on stronger (thicker) glass for structural support.  Balustrade fixings for these frameless styles are designed to be very minimalist with different options depending on the finished look you prefer, you can choice from round anchor discs, strut posts, rectangular clamps or continuous channel styles.  

Our Edgetec frameless glass systems use standard heavyweight 12mm (or 15mm) thick glass for their  balustrades, along with a rail fitted to the top of the panel to meet NZ building regulation requirements.  These top rails are designed as a backup in case of glass breakages, offering a continous handrail or support barrier instead of the glass barrier in the extremely unlike event of glass failure.  A special slim top rail has been designed for our Edgetec frameless glass balustrade range, to blend in as seamlessly as possible into the overall finished look, especially when they are powder coated in a colour which matches the balustrade attachments.  Note: An interlinking top rail is not required on Edgetec frameless glass pool fencing.

Fully frameless glass balustrades (without top rails), use special laminated glasses which are designed to hold the glass barrier up if there is any breakage. Remembering the rule of thumb - the thicker the glass the stronger it is and the less “aluminium hardware” (such as top rails) needed to support it.  But of course on the flip side, the thicker the glass the higher the price making this a premium balustrade solution. Note: Only some of the Edgetec range is available with laminated glass options (see below).
