Capture a landscape with Frameless Glass Balustrades

 

Glass balustrades also offer incredible adaptability, making them suitable for a wide range of applications. Whether used to enhance staircases, create stunning balcony barriers, or encircle pool areas with a sleek and modern edge, glass balustrades bring a refined touch to any setting. Their minimalist design ensures they seamlessly integrate with diverse architectural styles, from ultra-modern properties to more traditional homes.

Installation flexibility is another highlight of glass balustrades. Options like frameless or semi-frameless systems allow for customization that fits your specific preferences and space requirements.

Glass Design Choices

Frameless glass balustrades are suitable for a variety of applications, including balconies, staircases, terraces, and pool enclosures, showcasing their versatility in both residential and commercial projects. All design choices work together to create a distinctive, visually striking space that balances style with practicality.

  • Key design decisions include selecting the type of glass, such as toughened or laminated glass, to meet safety and structural requirements.
  • Glass customization options include clear, frosted, or tinted finishes, catering to privacy needs or aesthetic goals.
  • Choose the appropriate mounting system, such as base-mounted recessed systems for a seamless look or side-mounted clamps for a floating effect.
  • Select hardware finishes like brushed steel, chrome, or powder-coated colours to match the design vision.
  • Additional features like LED lighting, handrails, or glass treatments for UV protection and easy maintenance can enhance functionality and aesthetics.

Form and function are equally important and you’ll want your bathroom walls to properly support your new shower enclosure. While Glass Tailors Enclosures can be installed on a variety of wall materials in the shower area, the exact type of walls can influence the installation process. Whilst thinner glass can be used in just about any space, the type of wall material becomes more important if you’re eyeing a heavier product like 10mm glass. Before you order, check out and note where your wall studs are located, since this is where your door and hinges will be mounted.

If you are installing a sliding or rolling shower door, position the inner panel by the wall where the shower head is located for maximum waterproofing.

For swing doors or door and panel configurations, we recommend that the hinge is opposite of the shower head. The layout of your bathroom may determine the placement of your swing door.

Whether you’re upgrading an existing bathroom or starting fresh, the shape of your shower area can really elevate the space. Our most popular layouts are inline, return, and corner. Our most popular configurations include inline, return and corner enclosures. To learn more about shower shapes and other customization options, size up your shower above.

Here’s a consideration that entails both logistics and aesthetics. Do you prefer your shower door to slide open and closed or would you like it to swing open? If you choose the second option, check out the actual space to figure out which direction the door should swing — right or left.

Swing Doors: Much like any door in your house, these doors swing out into the bathroom to allow entry into your shower.

Sliding Enclosures: A stylish and space-saving option, sliding doors move along a single line. Some sliding enclosures feature bypass doors, where both sides slide, while others feature a sliding panel coupled with one that is fixed.

Rolling Doors: Much like sliding doors, rolling doors travel along a single plane. However, advanced ball bearings ensure a premium glide along the track on a fixed panel.

Panel Enclosures: For fans of simplicity, panel-style enclosures offer the purest form of entry. Assuming a strategically positioned shower head, and featuring no moving parts, panel enclosures keep the water in, while allowing for total freedom when entering.
