Some ideas for designer glass railings
Glass railings offer many advantages over other types of balustrade such as wood or steel. It doesn't rust, it never needs painting, being transparent, it preserves the view and, of course, it looks fabulous too.
So, if you're thinking of designing a glass terrace, balcony or mezzanine using our designer railings, here are some of our favorite ideas to get you started.
Curved glass railing
There's more to contemporary railings than just straight glass panels. The B500 glass balustrade system lets you create interest with curves, adding an exciting dimension to the design of your terrace, balcony or mezzanine.
Innovations in glass balustrade design have enabled us to manufacture glass railings and curved glass handrails that are as affordable as they are aesthetically pleasing. An added benefit is that the inherent strength of the curve means that fewer support posts may be required, depending on the length of the balustrade.
Inclined glass balustrades
RX500 inclined glass balustrades offer unique elegance and exceptional visual appeal to your property. Their innovative design, with glass panels angled slightly inwards, offers an ideal solution for those prone to vertigo.
Whether you opt for the simple lines of a frameless structural glass system or prefer one with a handrail to lean on and admire the view, the choice is yours.
Terrace roofs
Rooftop terraces and balconies are a hot trend in residential renovation. Not only do they offer breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape, they also provide a valuable extension to living space, whatever the size of your home.

Made-in-glass.com's glass balustrade design and installation process involves several key steps to ensure that the final product is not only visually appealing, but also meets safety standards and functional requirements. Here's a detailed overview of these steps:
Initial consultation and measurements
The process begins with an initial consultation to understand the customer's specific requirements, preferences and the architectural context of the project.
Accurate measurements of the installation site are crucial. This includes taking into account factors such as ground height, available space and specific architectural features that could have an impact on the balustrade design.
Creation of fabrication drawings
Based on the initial consultation and measurements, detailed manufacturing drawings are created. These drawings include design, dimensions, materials and specific details such as glass thickness, type and any custom features.
Initial drawings are presented to the customer for review. Comments are incorporated and revisions made where necessary to ensure that the design matches the customer's vision and requirements.
Balustrade approval and fabrication
Once the design has been finalized and approved by the customer, the manufacturing process begins.
This involves cutting, shaping and assembling materials - whether glass, metal or other materials - to the approved design specifications.
Installation options and types
The installation process varies according to the type of balustrade. It may involve setting up brackets, securing glass panels in place and ensuring that all components are securely fastened and aligned.
During and after installation, safety checks are carried out to ensure that the balustrade is safe and complies with relevant Australian building codes and standards.
Post-installation inspection
After installation, a thorough inspection is carried out to check for any problems and to ensure that everything is installed correctly and safely.
The customer then receives a step-by-step tour of the installed balustrade, during which final adjustments can be made and approval obtained.
