Designing a home that is both stylish and functional can be a challenge. Balustrades are an important design element in any home, but they can also be a practical necessity, especially on staircases and balconies where regulations have to be met. As balustrade installation specialists<\/a> we design, manufacture and install many different types throughout WA. With so many different options available, it can be hard to know where to start when it comes to choosing a balustrade design. Here are some ideas and things to consider to help get you started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good Balustrade Design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether you’re building a new home or doing home improvement, good balustrade design can have several benefits, including providing safety and security, improving the appeal of a space, offering privacy, and potentially increasing the value of a property. A well-designed balustrade can also help to define the boundaries of your space and can serve as a functional yet stylish element in the overall design of a building or structure. The space that you’re working with and whether it’s inside or outside will influence the balustrade ideas that you can utilise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Benefits of Using Glass<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are several benefits to using glass as balustrading. One of the main pros of glass, particularly frameless glass, is that it can provide an unobstructed view, which can help to create a sense of openness and flow within a space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glass balustrades<\/a> can be easy to maintain, as they can be easily cleaned and do not require painting or other ongoing maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a number of glass types that can be used in the construction of balustrades, and the choice of glass type can depend on a variety of factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most common type of glass and the most affordable is 12mm thick, clear, toughened glass as shown below. This also shows one of the most common methods of mounting frameless glass balustrades and that’s using standoffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Balustrade with Privacy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Patterned glass and satin-etch glass are both types of obscure\/decorative glass that can be used in the construction of balustrades to offer degrees of privacy. Patterned glass is a type of glass that has a decorative pattern or texture applied to its surface, which can help to obscure the view through the glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Satin-etch, also known as frosted glass, is a type of glass that has a matte, frosted finish applied to its surface, which can also help to obscure the view through the glass and can provide a softer, more diffused light. Both of these styles offer privacy without blocking light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grey glass also offers a degree of privacy but can look very contemporary when paired with a similar coloured timber handrail and spigots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
