Wollongong Glass Balustrade
One of the most effective ways to modernise a space without compromising on safety is through the use of glass balustrades. At D & T Balustrade Systems in Unanderra, we provide frameless and semi-frameless glass balustrades that blend elegance with engineering precision. Whether it's for a balcony, staircase or pool area, we custom-build each system to maximise visibility and natural light while meeting strict compliance standards.
Our glass panels are laminated or toughened depending on the style, design and location of the job. We work closely with homeowners, builders and architects to create clean, contemporary lines that elevate the entire property.
To explore glass balustrade options tailored to your project, give us a call on (02) 4272 6488 and we’ll talk through the next steps.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are glass balustrades safe for balconies and staircases?
Yes, when installed correctly and to code, glass balustrades are completely safe for both internal and external use. In Australia, all glass must comply with AS1288 (Glass in Buildings) and AS1170 (Structural Design Actions). The thickness and glass type used for glass balustrades is determined against each individual design requirement. When combined with properly engineered fixtures, glass balustrades can be just as strong and impact-resistant as traditional railing systems.
What’s the difference between frameless and framed glass balustrades?
Frameless glass balustrades use no vertical posts, creating a sleek, uninterrupted look. The panels are fixed directly into spigots or a recessed channel, giving the appearance of floating glass. Fully framed systems include vertical posts and top rails —usually made from powder-coated aluminium, Framed systems are more of a traditional style balustrade where as frameless are more modern. The choice comes down to aesthetic preference, structural needs and budget.
How do you clean and maintain glass balustrades?
Glass balustrades are relatively low maintenance but do benefit from regular cleaning. For best results, use a soft cloth or squeegee with warm soapy water or a glass-safe cleaner. Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals that can damage surface coatings. Rinse fittings thoroughly to prevent salt or grime build-up, especially in coastal areas. Stainless steel or aluminium components may also require occasional polishing or wiping to maintain their appearance.
Engineered for Strength, Designed for Clarity
We don’t just install glass balustrades—we engineer them to perform. Each system is designed and/or fabricated with the appropriate glass in mind that complies with AS1288 and AS1170. We assess the wind load, glass thickness, fixing method and site orientation to make sure your balustrade delivers not just on style, but structural integrity too.
Frameless glass balustrades offer an uninterrupted view, while semi-frameless options give the added confidence of discreet structural support. From base-mounted spigots to side-mounted channel systems, we tailor every element to the project’s needs. Our installations are seamless, with a strong focus on long-term durability in high-exposure areas.
Whether you're renovating a second-storey balcony or fitting out a commercial space, we make sure the result is as safe as it is visually impressive.
