Curved Glass Balustrades and Curved Glass Staircases

A curved glass staircase or curved glass balustrade is a stunning architectural feature that can elevate the design of any Melbourne property. The curved shape of the glass balustrade adds a unique touch of elegance and fluidity, creating a seamless transition between floors. The use of glass creates a sense of openness and transparency, allowing light to flow through the space and highlight the beauty of the staircase itself. In addition to its aesthetic appeal, a curved glass staircase also offers functional benefits such as maximizing space and providing a safe and durable barrier to prevent falls. With its sleek and modern design, a curved glass staircase can enhance the overall aesthetic of a home or commercial space, making it a popular choice for architects and designers alike.

Glass Balustrade Handrails

Frameless Glass Balustrade Melbourne

Finally, a safe and beautiful alternative for clients wanting a frameless glass balustrade without the need for a handrail.  A frameless glass balustrade is sure to complement any modern Melbourne home and offers uninterrupted views from your balcony.

A frameless glass balustrade using structural laminated glass is a popular choice for those seeking a minimalist and elegant solution that doesn’t require a handrail (subject to engineering). Structural laminated glass is a type of safety glass that is composed of two or more glass panels bonded together with an SGP ionoplast interlayer. This layer provides added strength and safety, as it keeps the glass intact even in the unlikely event of breakage.

If you're looking for a safe, durable, and seamless balustrading solution, a frameless glass balustrade using laminated glass may be the perfect choice for you.
