FOUR TYPES OF BALCONY SYSTEMS GLASS BALUSTRADE

Orbit Balustrade System

This system allows for up to 3.3m of glass without posts when it is fixed between walls. When posts are required, they can be up to 1.9m apart

Aerofoil Balustrade System

This system has a unique and stylish aerofoil-shaped handrail. It allows for 4.0m of glass without posts when fixed between walls and when posts are required, they can be up to 2.1m apart.

SG12 Frameless Glass Balustrades - Above Floor Level

The SG12 Fully Frameless system allows for 100% uninterrupted views without even a handrail line. There are no limitations of lengths or sizes and requires no posts or handrails at all.

SG12 Frameless Glass Balustrades - Below Floor Level

Frameless glass balustrades for balconies, a decking area or mezzanine create an almost invisible barrier between the viewer and the view.

Frameless Glass Balustrades with Top Rail - Above Floor Level

The Frameless glass balustrade with top rail has only a beautifully designed elliptical handrail on top and uses 15mm clear toughened glass.

Frameless Glass Balustrades with Top Rail - Below Floor Level

The Frameless glass balustrade with top rail has only a beautifully designed elliptical handrail on top and uses 21.5mm clear toughened glass.

When the glass of a balustrade is not just used as an infill panel but as the actual structure of the balustrade it is often referred to as a structural glass balustrade or, as we do here, a frameless glass balustrade. It’s strength comes from a strong base that firmly clamps the glass panels, which are themselves thick and strong enough to cope with the pressures and loads imposed on them.

BALCONY SYSTEMS GLASS BANNISTERS

The Balcony Systems glass balustrade is a unique balustrade system, using the combined strength of the precision-engineered handrail profiles, frame, base and the strength of the glass. It allows wider spans of glass than similar balustrade systems.

The Balcony Traditional Glass Balustrade described above can be used on stairs with a 70mm diameter handrail and our square Newel post.

BALCONY SYSTEMS GLASS THAT KEEPS ITSELF CLEAN

We have created a unique and very durable coating for glass known as BalcoNano®. It transforms its surface architecture from a hydrophilic (water-attracting) into a hydrophobic (water-repelling) surface. You can follow this link to find out more about the BalcoNano coating for our balustrades.

Treating the glass for your balustrade or bannister with Balcony Systems BalcoNano protective coating costs a little more but the benefits are:

Protects the glass from dirt, grime and other contaminants
Forms a hard water-repellent surface on the glass
Reduces the required frequency of cleaning by between 50% and 90%
Eco-friendly - eliminates need for harsh chemical cleaners
Increases impact & scratch-resistance
Makes the glass surface graffiti-proof
Keeps glass looking new for longer
Completely invisible
