Installing glass balustrade can be a great way to spruce up an external or internal area of any commercial or private property. It can help increase the perception of size and space and, in areas such as swimming pool enclosures, make the area feel less restrictive. Glass is used by many designers to take projects into the 21st Century while also making it inviting as it enhances the cleanliness of an area.
If you own a commercial property with a large raised patio area—for example, a restaurant’s outside seating area or a place for staff to congregate—, a semi-frameless glass balustrade or frameless glass barrier may make the area more welcoming and increase its safety. If the area is raised by 1m or more, the owner of the property has a legal obligation to install a barrier, such as a glass balustrade, in the Gold Coast area. This is also a law that can affect any homeowner with balconies or a raised patio.
Commercial properties that are looking to upgrade the look of their building could utilise glass barriers on their staircases to bring more light and make the area feel more spacious. For walkways, too, a glass balustrade can make the building feel more modern and update the décor. For both commercial and private properties with balconies, balustrades are important and can be installed as a frameless one. Frameless glass fencing cannot only modernise the look of the property, but also does not block any view or light from entering the adjoining room.
If you are a home owner with a swimming pool, glass pool fencing is one of the best options for securing your pool from accidents. Pool fencing is a legal requirement in Queensland and must be a minimum of 1200mm high with no gaps of more than 10mm. A glass balustrade installer from the Gold Coast area would know the intricacies of the law and make sure that your pool fencing does not fail the inspection. Do not forget that you cannot legally fill a new swimming pool in Queensland to over 300mm deep until the pool fencing is installed.
