Central Coast Balustrades
Nothing dates a deck faster than bulky rails—swap them for crystal-clear balustrades that showcase your outlook and still pass every safety check.
Central Coast Glass & Glazing, proudly based in Umina Beach and serving the entire Central Coast, supplies 12 mm toughened or laminated glass panels, polished to perfection and anchored with marine-grade stainless steel or slim powder-coated posts. Each span is custom-templated to match stair angles, balcony curves or split-level landings; edges are arrised to resist chips, and silicone joints leave nowhere for grime or moisture to hide.
Experienced installers core-drill concrete, bolt to timber or clamp to steel, then fine-tune gate latches and handrails so everything closes with a soft, secure click.

Strength Behind Style
Every balustrade must balance elegance with engineering. After a site visit, technicians calculate wind loads, select panel thickness—often 12 mm for frameless or 13.52 mm laminated for elevated balconies—and design minimal spigot spacing to satisfy AS 1288 and NCC height rules.
Glass arrives kiln-toughened, edge-polished and labelled for speedy placement; neoprene blocks cushion panes, while “dry-glaze” wedges lock them in place without messy grout. Where a handrail is required, sleek anodised aluminium or stainless tubing is set just proud of the glass, distributing load evenly across multiple panels.
Once installed, the team conducts a deflection test, wipes down fingerprints and provides a care sheet covering monthly rinses, annual hardware checks and optional nano-seal coatings that make cleaning even easier. Planning a stair upgrade, pool surround or mezzanine barrier? Chat materials, tint options or compliant heights with a glazing specialist—straight answers, prompt scheduling, no hidden extras.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do glass balustrades comply with Australian safety standards?
Yes. Balustrade glass must meet AS 1288 (Glass in Buildings) and, for multistorey applications, the National Construction Code. Frameless systems typically use 12 mm toughened safety glass, while situations above four metres require heat-soaked or laminated panels that remain intact if fractured. Hardware—including spigots, clamps and handrail fixings—also carries engineering certification, ensuring the completed barrier resists specified wind and crowd loads.
How thick should balcony balustrade glass be?
Thickness depends on height above ground and panel span. Ground-level decks and pool surrounds generally use 12 mm toughened glass up to 1.2 m high. For upper-storey balconies, many designers opt for 13.52 mm laminated toughened glass—two 6 mm panes bonded by an interlayer—because it retains integrity if broken, preventing fall hazards until replacement.
Will salt air corrode fittings near the ocean?
Marine-grade 2205 duplex or 316 stainless steel spigots and clamps resist pitting caused by salt and chlorine. Regular fresh-water hosing removes surface deposits that can dull the passive chromium layer. Where heavy exposure is unavoidable, electropolished finishes or high-build powder-coated aluminium brackets provide added protection with minimal maintenance.
