Technical Specifications for Our Glass Balustrade Systems

At New Farm Glazier, we refuse to compromise on hardware quality. Our balustrades are built to last, utilising marine-grade stainless steel fixings and certified safety glass.

External Frameless Glass Balustrades

Our flagship product for balconies and terraces, designed to withstand the Queensland elements while offering complete visual clarity. We utilise 12mm or 15mm Grade A Toughened Safety Glass, heat-soaked where required to ensure maximum durability and compliance with Australian Standards.

The system relies on high-tensile stainless steel spigots (available in polished, satin, or matte black finishes) or structural channel fixing, eliminating the need for vertical posts. This system is specifically engineered for uninterrupted views, making it the ideal choice for river-facing properties in New Farm and Newstead.

The Challenge

Solving The Safety Vs. Style Dilemma

Many homeowners in New Farm face a common dilemma: how to secure a balcony, staircase, or terrace without boxing the space in. Traditional timber or metal railings can feel heavy, block natural light, and obstruct the very views you paid for.

Furthermore, older balustrades in post-war homes often no longer meet current height or strength requirements, posing a significant safety risk to families.

A poorly installed balustrade can result in glass delamination, loose spigots, or catastrophic failure under impact.

Our Solution

Custom Engineered Systems

The solution lies in expertly engineered frameless glass. However, glass balustrading is not a DIY job. It involves complex load-bearing calculations and precise alignment.

This is where New Farm Glazier steps in. We solve these structural challenges by using high-grade, toughened safety glass that acts as a structural element itself.

We eliminate visual clutter, offering a seamless 'invisible' barrier that makes small terraces feel larger and grand staircases feel modern. Our solution provides ultimate peace of mind.

Our Direct-to-You Installation Process

Our process is designed to be seamless and transparent, ensuring you know exactly who is on your site and what is happening at every stage.

Consultation

When you engage New Farm Glazier, you deal directly with experts. We start with a comprehensive on-site consultation using laser levels to assess structural integrity.

Measure

Precision is non-negotiable. Once the design is finalised, our engineering team ensures the specification meets all load requirements before fabrication.

Installation

Our uniformed team arrives in branded trucks, fully equipped. We use high-grade setting blocks and non-shrink grout for absolute rigidity and safety.

Handover

After the glass is set and aligned to the millimetre, we apply a final polish, walk you through care instructions, and leave your home exactly as we found it.

Strict Adherence To AS1288 Standards

Safety is not an optional extra; it is the core of our business. All our installations strictly adhere to AS1288 (Glass in Buildings – Selection and Installation) and the National Construction Code (NCC).

We do not cut corners on glass thickness or fixing density. Upon completion of your project, New Farm Glazier provides a Form 15 and/or Form 16 compliance certificate.

This is critical for your building approval and future property sale. When we install a balustrade, we are certifying that it can withstand specific live loads, ensuring the safety of your family and guests.

Caring For Your Glass And Hardware

Maintaining the crystal-clear look of your new balustrade is simpler than most people think. Regular maintenance keeps it operating like new.

Tea Staining Prevention
For stainless steel spigots, we recommend a quick wipe down with a damp cloth every few months to remove salt buildup. Although we use marine-grade stainless steel, regular cleaning prevents 'tea staining'.
For the glass panels, a simple solution of warm soapy water and a high-quality squeegee is the most effective cleaning method. Avoid using harsh chemical sprays or abrasive scouring pads, as these can damage the surface over time.
If you notice any movement in the fittings over the years, call us immediately for a service check. Our goal is to ensure your investment lasts a lifetime.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a handrail?

If the drop is over 1 metre, a handrail is usually required unless using specific laminated structural glass.

Is the glass hard to clean?

Not if maintained regularly. We can apply a nano-coating to make cleaning easier.

Is it safe for children?

Yes, glass balustrades are difficult to climb (no footholds) and strong enough to withstand impact.

What fittings do you use?

We use 2205 Marine Grade Stainless Steel for superior corrosion resistance.

Can you replace old aluminium railings?

Yes, we often remove old metal railings and replace them with modern glass.
