How Much Does Glass Balustrade Cost in Melbourne

Glass Balustrade Applications

Glass balustrades are ideal for staircases, balconies, pools, landings, passage ways, and many more applications. Once installed they are easy to maintain and unlike wood and plasterboard, they do not require painting or oiling. Glass and stainless steel are rigid materials that do not wear quickly and are durable to withstand all sorts of uses in various environments. They inherently resist mould and discolouration and this means that the glass balustrade stays cleaner for longer which is ideal for you. They are low maintenance that could save your customers more quality time to spend for their families.

Whether you have kids, pets or live in an environment with harsh weather conditions, our products are made to last all year round. They are also environmentally friendly and suit various décors. Balcony glass balustrades and glass stair balustrades are our most popular products.

Stainless Steel Fittings and Accessories

Complement your glass balustrade with superior quality stainless steel fittings that have been crafted to comply with Australian Standards. We use products in grade 316 (suitable for buildings near marine locations) and the standard, widely used and versatile grade 304. These products are corrosion resistant and are difficult to scratch and damage. Our products have been sourced from reputable manufacturers that have been tried and tested in various conditions.

To tailor the glass balustrade to your requirements, we stock a variety of fittings to suit your style and design. The cost will vary depending on the dimensions, finishes and accessories. We customise the size of the fittings to suit your needs so that nothing else has to be altered in order for your glass balustrade to fit the plan and suit the surroundings.

How Much Does Glass & Stainless Steel Balustrade Cost?

Glass and stainless steel balustrade cost varies depending on design, application and accessories. The cost of the glass balustrade will vary depending on the size of the glass panels, the number of stainless steel fittings required, and the material and finish. In addition, you will also have to factor in labour cost should you wish to engage a professional installer.

We strongly recommend that you engage a professional architect or engineer to prepare your plans to ensure that they are accurate and contain dimensions, angles and notes about materials without error. Also, make sure to check whether you require any building permits before you install your glass balustrade. Especially for a decking, balcony or pool fence, specific regulations exist which need to be adhered to.

It is advisable not to rush the process, nor choose the cheapest supplier. Have a peace of mind in knowing that your new glass and stainless steel balustrade with premium quality products from a leading glass and stainless steel balustrade supplier, will last a lifetime.

How to Install Glass Balustrade & How Much Does It Cost?

Glass balustrades are ideal for staircases, balconies, patios, decking areas, pools, mezzanines, and room dividers. They must be installed correctly to serve its purpose. We recommend you engage a professional installer who has the skills, experience and tools to effectively install your new glass balustrade professionally with ease.

Glass balustrade installation costs depend on various factors. For example, the following factors will affect the cost:

– Installation environment (including the location and foundations);
– Architectural complexities;
– Length and height of fencing;
– Non-regular glass designs (which requires cutting);
– Multiple entry/exit gate points;
– Stainless steel accessories;
– Frameless glass designs;
– Non-linear glass designs (i.e. curved features); and
– Bespoke and custom features.

Each installer will set and determine their own cost based on the above factors and more. It is important you conduct your research and consider the following:

– Ask many questions (even if the answer is obvious);
– Work with the installer to lower the cost;
– Source more than one quotation;
– Check to see if the installer has installation experience;
– Look for accredited installers only;
– Ensure the installer is aware of all rules (including local council permit requirements), regulations and laws;
– Ensure the installer understands the design plans and installation environment;
– Check if any maintenance guarantee or warranty is provided;
– Seek recommendations from friends and family; and
– Do not be pressured into making a decision.
