Frameless & Semi-Frameless Glass Balustrades
Glass balustrades use the same toughened safety glass as our pool fencing, fitted to decks, elevated balconies, staircases and raised entertaining areas where a barrier is needed but a view isn’t something you want to lose. Frameless glass, held by base spigots or a channel system, keeps sightlines open across a deck or down a staircase.
It’s a natural extension of Kelgar’s pool fencing work — the glass, the spigots and the finishing standard are the same, just applied to a different part of the property.
- Where It's Used
Where Glass Balustrades Work Well
Elevated Decks
Keeps the view from a raised deck uninterrupted while meeting fall-height barrier requirements.
Balconies
A clean alternative to metal railings on apartment and townhouse balconies.
Staircases
Frameless glass alongside internal or external stairs, opening up tight stairwells.
- Our Options
Frameless & Semi-Frameless Options
Frameless Glass Balustrades
Spigot-mounted glass panels with no top rail, giving the same clean look as our frameless pool fencing.
Semi-Frameless Glass Balustrades
Slim posts and a top handrail where extra support is needed across longer or higher runs.

Why Choose Glass Balustrades?
Unobstructed Views
Clear glass keeps a deck, balcony or staircase visually connected to the space around it, with no solid rail or picket breaking up the outlook.
Modern Design
The clean lines of glass suit contemporary builds as well as established homes, adding a barrier without adding visual bulk.
Light & Openness
Glass lets light travel through a stairwell or across a deck rather than blocking it, which matters most on tighter or more enclosed spaces.
Durable Outdoor Materials
The glass and hardware are chosen to suit the application and fixing conditions — Kelgar can talk through what’s right for your project.
- Gates & Hardware
Glass Pool Gates
Every glass pool fence needs at least one gate that meets the same barrier standard as the fencing itself — and the hardware is where a lot of pool fences fall down over time. Kelgar fits gates with self-closing hinges and a self-latching mechanism positioned out of a small child’s reach, matched to whichever glass system is used.
- Self-closing hinges, tension-adjustable for reliable closing
- Self-latching hardware positioned to the required height
- Gate frames and hinges in stainless or powder-coated finishes
- Gate positioning planned to open away from the pool, not over paving edges or steps
- How It Works
Glass Balustrade Installation
A straightforward process from first enquiry to a finished balustrade — no surprises partway through.
01
Enquiry & Site Visit
We look at the deck, balcony or staircase in person, check the substrate and talk through frameless versus semi-frameless.
02
Measure & Configure
Exact measurements are taken and the panel layout, handrail (if required) and fixing method are confirmed.
03
Glass & Hardware
Toughened glass panels and fittings are ordered to spec and fabricated for your specific layout.
04
Installation
Panels, spigots or posts are installed on site, checked for level and finished cleanly.
05
Final Check
Fixings are tested, the site is cleaned up, and the balustrade is handed over ready to use.
- Pricing
How Much Does Glass Balustrading Cost?
There’s no single price for glass balustrading — a short run along a deck and a full staircase balustrade can come in quite differently depending on the site. Rather than quote a figure that won’t hold up on your property, we work it out from a short list of factors during the onsite visit and put it in writing before any work starts.

- Frequently Asked Questions
Glass Balustrade FAQs
Is glass balustrade glass the same as pool fencing glass?
Yes — the same toughened safety glass and spigot or channel hardware is used for both applications.
Do glass balustrades need a handrail?
It depends on the height and application. We’ll confirm what’s appropriate for your deck or staircase during the quote.
Can balustrades be added at the same time as pool fencing?
Yes, it’s common to quote both together where a deck and pool are part of the same project.
