Common Questions

Yes. We use toughened or laminated safety glass rated for barrier loads. All installations are engineered to meet NZ Building Code requirements.

Absolutely. Glass stair balustrades are popular for both residential and commercial properties. We custom-cut panels to follow the stair angle.

Frameless uses channel or standoff clamps: minimal hardware, maximum glass. Semi-frameless uses slim posts between panels. Frameless with top rail adds a stainless steel handrail for extra grip and style.

We use marine-grade stainless steel (316) for coastal installations. This is the same grade used in marine applications and handles salt air well.
