Glass balustrades for decks, balconies and retaining walls

A glass balustrade that delivers safety, simplicity and uninterrupted views.

BelAire’s glass balustrade systems are engineered for strength, safety and clarity. Designed for decks, balconies, stairwells, and landings, our systems are ideal for homeowners and developers seeking a refined, modern finish that doesn’t compromise on compliance or durability.

We use 12mm toughened safety glass, with polished bevelled edges, and a choice of fixings and finishes to suit your space. Every system is modular, simple to install, and designed to meet or exceed New Zealand building code requirements.

Want uninterrupted views? Ask us about our 13.52mm Sentry glass. It meets NZS 4223:2016 and F4 requirements—no handrail needed.

Common applications for glass balustrades

Decks and
Balconies

Glass balustrades on decks and balconies provide a safety barrier without obstructing views. They are ideal for properties with scenic surroundings, allowing homeowners to enjoy the landscape while ensuring safety.

Retaining Walls

Installing glass balustrades atop retaining walls can prevent falls from elevated areas in a visually unobtrusive manner. This application combines safety with a clean, contemporary look.

Apartment
Developments

In multi-unit residential buildings, glass balustrades are used for balconies and common areas to meet safety codes while enhancing the building’s modern aesthetic.

Pool Fencing with Balustrade Crossover

Glass balustrades serve as pool fences, complying with safety regulations while maintaining clear views of the pool area. This application is particularly popular for its ability to blend safety with style.
