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 and 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.

Before you buy wire rope, here are a few things to consider.

Strength

Depending on the strand and wire combinations and diameter, the strength of wire rope affects the minimum breaking strength, safe loads and its weight. Make sure you assess your requirements and discuss this with one of our experienced technicians. We stock wire rope in various strand and wire combinations that come in various lengths depending on your needs.

Environmental effects

We stock stainless steel wire rope in 304 general purpose standard grade or 316 marine grade. For those more harsh environments like marine , chemical or water , the 316 marine grade is recommended. We also stock wire rope in a galvanised finish which offers extra protection against corrosion as the steel is coated with a layer of zinc. For wire rope that is softer to touch, more flexible and resistant to the harsh rays of the sun, the PVC coated wire rope is your best choice.

Testing

We also conduct our own in-house testing services on our internal 100T test bed to certify cables and ropes for lifting, structural and load bearing applications. This gives our clients peace of mind knowing that their desired product can be tested so that the necessary assurance is provided.

Glass pool fencing is very popular because of its long-lasting, low maintenance and unobstructed view features. It is the best way to add a sleek and minimalist addition to your outdoor area without it detracting from the environment and overcrowding the space. Here are a few advantages of glass pool fencing.

Keep an Eye on Safety

Glass pool fencing allows you to supervise your loved ones and pets when they are in or around the pool. Safety around the pool is essential and an adult must always be present to supervise those who are swimming or playing in the pool. Make sure the area is well lit and ensure that surfaces close to the pool are dry and not slippery. It is a good idea to have a First Aid kit nearby.

Less Cleaning and Maintenance

Pools are filled with water. Worry less with a glass and stainless fence that resists corrosion, staining and warping. Glass is easy to clean and does not corrode or attract mould. It will also retain its shape and not discolour. This is ideal for an environment where water is present and where moisture content in the air is high. For those wanting extra precaution, we stock marine grade (316) stainless steel fittings too.

Long-Lasting

Glass is strong, rigid and long-lasting. Toughened glass is fabricated not to shatter easily and is safe for environments where children play. Glass offers unobstructed views of the surroundings and does not need to be painted, treated or replaced. This saves money in the future and ensures that your pool is looking ace all year around.

Whilst it is time consuming and tedious, having a piece of glass or a handrail out of alignment will be noticeable.

Designs and Plans

Think about your plans and designs. Be sure to comply with any regulations and Australian Standards. When deciding about materials, colours, fitting designs and accessory designs, be sure to consider the environment, location, lighting, contrast with the house, and safety considerations. For example, materials will differ if you are living closer to a seaside location or a high polluted in city suburb.

Exercising patience will ensure that you do not make mistakes. We will supply you with fittings that have been cut to the correct length so all you have to do is assemble the job on site.

If you are building or planning a family home then the number one criteria that you should be considering is safety.  In other words the look and finish of wire balustrading will play second fiddle to the security provided by glass. The last thing you want as a builder is a prospective buyer to opt out because they are concerned about the security of a balcony for their family.

The other major facet, particularly in Melbourne that you need to consider is the fluctuations in weather. With four seasons in one day a regular occurrence in Melbourne, choosing the right fit isn’t as straightforward as it would be in most other cities. Changing wind and light conditions also means that both options will have advantages and disadvantages.

Glass Balustrades

Glass balustrades offer a sleek and modern design for balconies that are sophisticated yet practical. In particular the transparency and unobstructed views through glass balustrading is hard to match. Glass has the added advantage of also being an excellent windbreaker shielding those sitting on the balcony. 

In reality though the average person who wants a balcony are going to be sitting on it when it’s warm. Therefore you may desire a cool breeze when you are out enjoying the sunshine. Unfortunately this is an aspect that is lacking somewhat with glass balustrading. If this is one of the primary requirements of those sitting on the balcony then this may prove to be a deal breaker.

Finally from a perspective of safety, Kebles Trading supply the strongest and most durable glass available in the market ensuring that you can sit back and relax on your new balcony.

Wire Balustrades

Wire balustrades are generally constructed from stainless steel and have proven a very popular option for homeowners. Not only do they provide a minimal aesthetic for your balcony area but are exceptionally cost effective. Two main options are generally available when considering wire balustrades being horizontal and vertical. The determinant of which type you use will depend on the balcony structure and setup.

The main advantage of wire balustrades is that it allows a breeze to come through your balcony due to the intermittent cables. Furthermore, wire balustrades look very modern and those builders or interior designers chasing minimalism will generally prefer this setup.

Wire balustrading offers many excellent options for your consideration and in the end it really comes down to your personal preferences and styling for your project. You are spoilt for choice.
