Glass
Balustrades

Glass balustrades create clean sightlines, maximise natural light and provide a modern finish for both residential and commercial projects. Whether you're manufacturing balustrades for a staircase, balcony, pool area or elevated walkway, Tough Glass supplies custom processed glass processed to suit your project requirements.

Glass Options for Balustrades

Different balustrade systems require different glass products depending on the design, fixing method and performance requirements.

Toughened glass is a Grade A safety glass that is up to five times stronger than standard annealed glass. When broken, it fractures into small particles to reduce the risk of injury. Available options include: Clear Toughened Glass, Ultra Clear Toughened Glass, Grey Toughened Glass, Obscure Privacy Glass.

ToughView™ combines two toughened glass panels with a structural interlayer, such as SentryGlas®, to create a high-performance laminated glass product suitable for demanding balustrade applications. Depending on the balustrade design, ToughView™ may provide additional post-breakage integrity, helping keep the glass panel intact if breakage occurs. Final glass selection should always be confirmed by the project's engineer or a qualified glazing professional.

Being a local glass processor, and specialists in glass processing we can custom make panels in a large range of shapes and sizes. Provided we receive all necessary information and sizes we can process almost any custom panel. If the shape is overly complex, sometimes we will recommend an MDF template be made up in one piece and delivered to our factory. Templates will guarantee a precise match.
