We bring expert craftsmanship and personal service to every job, and our balustrades are perfect for both new and existing homes, as they can be installed without disrupting existing finishes.
What is a glass balustrade?
A glass balustrade is a safety barrier constructed from toughened or laminated glass panels. They can be either framed or frameless and used to enclose balconies, staircases, terraces or pool areas.
Designed to meet the highest safety standards, our glass balustrades provide a secure boundary without obstructing your view, making them ideal for residential and commercial properties. They can be installed on various surfaces, including concrete and structural steel without disrupting existing finishes.
Whether you want to modernise a staircase, frame a beautiful outdoor view, or create a sense of openness in your living space, a glass balustrade is an aesthetically pleasing solution that doesn’t compromise on safety.

Glass balustrade FAQs
Are glass balustrades safe?
Yes. All glass balustrades installed by McLaren Vale Glass are made from high quality toughened glass or laminated safety glass that meets Australian Standards. These materials are designed to withstand significant impact and pressure, making them safe for residential and commercial use.
Do glass balustrades require a lot of maintenance?
Not at all. One of the benefits of glass balustrades is that they are very low maintenance. Unlike timber or metal, glass won’t corrode, warp or require repainting. A quick wipe down with glass cleaner or mild detergent is usually all that’s needed to keep them looking their best.
Can I install a glass balustrade on a sloping block or irregular surface?
Yes. Our team at McLaren Vale Glass specialise in custom glazing solutions. We can individually design and install glass balustrades for complex layouts, including sloping blocks, curved balconies and multi-level properties.
Are there different styles of glass balustrades?
Yes. We offer frameless, semi-frameless, and fully framed options to suit your taste and budget. Frameless balustrades provide the most minimalist look, while framed options can add contrast or structural emphasis depending on your design goals.
How long does installation take?
The timeframe required to construct a balustrade depends on the size and complexity of your project. Most residential installations take a few days once materials are ready. During your consultation we’ll provide a timeline and keep you informed throughout the process.
Do I need council approval for a glass balustrade?
In most cases you will require council approval, especially for elevated areas like balconies and staircases. As a local company, we’re familiar with council regulations in McLaren Vale, the Fleurieu Peninsula and southern Adelaide. We can guide you through the approval process or do it for you.
Can glass balustrades be used outdoors?
Yes. Our glass is suitable for indoor and outdoor use, including coastal or exposed areas like Kangaroo Island. The materials we use are weather resistant and durable for long term performance in harsh conditions.
Do you install pool fences and glass splashbacks?
In addition to balustrades, at McLaren Vale Glass we are specialists in the manufacture and installation of glass pool fences, glass splashbacks, shower screens, bathroom mirrors and more.
