1. Safety Without Compromise
Balustrades exist for one main reason—safety. Whether they’re around a staircase, balcony, or deck, they need to provide a secure barrier that protects your family. Modern glass balustrades are built from toughened safety glass, making them just as strong—if not stronger—than traditional timber or metal alternatives. You can achieve peace of mind without sacrificing style.
2. Light, Space and Views!
Glass is unbeatable for creating a sense of openness. Instead of blocking light or closing off a view, glass balustrades let natural light flow through your home. For Christchurch homeowners, that can mean framing views of the Port Hills, city skyline, or garden, all while keeping the space feeling airy and open.
3. Low Maintenance
Unlike timber, which requires regular staining, or metal, which can rust, glass balustrades are easy to clean and maintain. A quick wipe with a glass cleaner is often all it takes to keep them sparkling. For busy households, that’s a huge plus.
4. Versatile Design Options
From frameless glass for a sleek, minimalist look to semi-framed or fully framed options for added detail, glass balustrades can be tailored to suit almost any home style. Whether your property is a contemporary new build or a classic Christchurch villa, glass integrates seamlessly with both modern and traditional designs
5. Adding Value to Your Property
Investing in high-quality glass balustrades doesn’t just improve the way your home looks and feels—it also adds long-term value. Buyers love the combination of safety, style, and practicality, making it an upgrade that pays off in more ways than one
What to Consider Before Installing:
Compliance: Glass balustrades must meet strict New Zealand safety standards. Always work with a trusted local installer who understands the building code.
Placement: Think about where you’ll get the biggest impact—staircases, balconies, decks, or pool surrounds are all popular choices.
Style: Choose a design that matches your home’s overall aesthetic—frameless for modern minimalism, or framed for a more traditional touch.
