What we install

Glass balustrades make stairs, balconies and voids feel lighter and keep the view open, while meeting Australian safety rules. We measure on site, manufacture each panel to size, and install with our own team, so one company is responsible from quote to handover.

Why choose Aquaglass for your balustrade?

  • More than 30 years in Sydney glass. We have installed balustrades in homes, apartment blocks and commercial buildings since 1994.
  • Made to measure. Every panel is cut to your site measurements, including raked stair panels.
  • Compliance built in. We design to the National Construction Code and AS 1288, and supply documentation for certifiers and builders.
  • One team, start to finish. The people who measure your job are the people who install it.

How the process works

  1. Free measure and consultation. We visit your site, discuss style and handrail options, and take exact measurements.
  2. Fixed written quote. You get a clear quote with glass type, fixings and finish.
  3. Manufacture. Your panels are toughened and finished to size.
  4. Installation. We install, check every panel and leave the area clean.

Glass Balustrades options

  • Frameless glass balustrades

    Glass panels fixed with spigots, standoff pins or a concealed channel for an uninterrupted view. Our most requested option for balconies and modern stairs.

  • Semi-frameless balustrades

    Glass infill panels between slim posts with a continuous handrail. Cost-effective and well suited to decks and long runs.

  • Stair and void balustrades

    Raked panels cut to follow the stair line, with handrails in matte black, stainless or timber to match your interior.

  • Commercial balustrades

    Lobby, mezzanine and apartment balustrades with the structural and compliance documentation builders need.

Glass Balustrades: frequently asked questions

How much does a glass balustrade cost in Sydney?

Price depends on the length of the run, glass thickness, fixing method (spigots, channel or posts) and handrail choice. Frameless channel systems cost more than semi-frameless post systems. We give a free measure and a fixed written quote, so you know the full cost before work starts.

When does a balcony or stair need a balustrade?

Under the National Construction Code, a balustrade is generally required where a floor, balcony, deck or stair is more than 1 metre above the surface below. The balustrade must be at least 1 metre high on floors and balconies (865 mm above stair nosings), and openings must not let a 125 mm sphere pass through. We design every balustrade to meet these rules.

What is the difference between frameless and semi-frameless balustrades?

Frameless balustrades have no posts. Thick toughened glass is held by spigots, pins or a channel at the base. Semi-frameless balustrades use thinner glass between slim posts, usually with a top rail. Frameless gives a cleaner look; semi-frameless is usually more affordable.

Do glass balustrades need a handrail?

Not always. Some frameless systems use glass that is strong enough without a top rail, but stairs need a handrail for safe use. We tell you at the measure which option suits your space and the relevant standard.

Can you install balustrades for builders and developers?

Yes. We supply and install balustrades for apartments, townhouses, aged care, schools and commercial projects, with site measures, shop drawings and compliance documentation.
