Frameless Glass Balustrades
Incorporating Toughened Safety Glass
The standard glass used on the frameless balustrade systems is 12mm toughened glass although 15mm can be used with different applications. Toughened safety glass is ideal for bolted structural glazing and frameless applications. The maximum width per panel is 1200mm and the maximum height is 1200mm. (from the brackets upwards) Toughened glass meets the safety glass requirements of the South African National Building Regulations and can be obtained from accredited suppliers only. Toughened glass is up to 500% stronger than annealed glass and therefore is more resistant to thermal breakage and can withstand greater wind loads. It can break, under extreme loads or by severe impact. On breaking it fragments into many small harmless pieces unlike annealed glass, thus minimising the chance of injury.
Features of Frameless Glass Balustrades
- Available thickness 3 – 25mm although the frameless balustrade systems use 12mm as a standard.
- Max deflection on standard height of 1000mm is 75mm
- Max load of 355kg on standard panel of 1000mm x 1000mm
- As per regulations, a balustrade guarding the edge of any balcony, bridge, flat roof or similar place more than 1m above the adjacent ground or floor level shall not be less than 1m in height and shall not have any opening that permits the passage of a 100 mm diameter ball. These requirements also apply to any interior balcony or any mezzanine floor (SANS 10400- Part D).
- Balustrading guarding a swimming pool or swimming bath shall not be less than 1,2m high measured from the ground level, and shall not contain any opening which will permit the passage of a 100 mm diameter ball (SANS 10400 – Part D).
we offer the latest in modern frameless glass balustrading for balconies, staircases, pools and patios.
Many of the popular options contain no framework and no uprights, maximising on the clear view of and sheer magic of glass. This is the ideal solution for staircases or spaces where light is limited, as it creates the illusion of modern airiness and space through its transparency and appearance of suspended glass.
(Note: For specific applications we also create custom aluminium balustrades, with optional glass inserts- see below)
Frameless balustrades can be installed internally or externally, and are affixed to building structures in a few basic ways:
- Floor mounts,
- Side-mounts or
- Recessed options.
