Glass balustrades are a popular choice for homes in Melbourne and have many benefits. They can be custom-made to fit any style of home and can also be used to create an interesting design element that adds value to your property.
Glass balustrades are made from toughened glass (also known as safety glass) which is very strong and resistant to impact damage. This makes them ideal for use in areas with children playing or pets running around. When you’re looking to install a glass balustrade, there are many aspects of the design that you will need to consider.
Design Considerations
• Style: The style of your glass balustrade will depend on its purpose and location in your home. You may want something more modern and sleeker if it is used as an internal feature. If it is being used as an external feature, perhaps something with more character would be better suited.
• Colour: You can choose from a wide range of colours when choosing your glass balustrade, so ensure you get one that matches the colour scheme of your home or garden area.
• Shape/Size: Depending on how much room is available for installation, there are different shapes available such as straight lines (perfect for smaller areas), curved lines (great if space allows) or even circular designs, which offer maximum impact while still being practical enough for everyday use!
Safety Considerations
Balustrades are an important part of your home’s safety. They help to prevent falls and injuries if someone trips or falls over an edge. Building Code of Australia (BCA) Sections 3.9.1 and 3.9.2, Volume 2 and Australian Standard 1170.1 must be followed for all balustrades in Australia. These standards are relevant to safety concerns relating to human mobility up and down ramps or stairs in a building.
Maintenance
Glass balustrades are easy to maintain, as they do not require any special cleaning or repair. You can wash them with soap and water and use a soft cloth to clean them. If there are any stains on your glass balustrade, you can use an abrasive cleaner such as sandpaper or steel wool to remove them.
