Glass Balustrades for Melbourne Decks, Stairs & Balconies

Glass balustrades are one of the most effective ways to add safety, elegance, and a sense of space to your home — without blocking the view. At Maison Glass & Aluminium, we design, fabricate, and install glass balustrade systems for residential and commercial properties throughout Melbourne's bayside suburbs.

Frameless Glass Balustrades

Frameless systems are the premium choice. Glass panels are supported by spigots or a continuous channel track set into the floor or structure, with no vertical posts interrupting the line of sight. The result is a completely unobstructed view — ideal for decks overlooking gardens, pools, or the bay.

Frameless balustrades use 12mm toughened safety glass and are available with a range of spigot and channel finishes including brushed stainless, matte black, and polished chrome.

Semi-Frameless Glass Balustrades

Semi-frameless systems use posts to support the glass panels. They offer a balance between the openness of frameless and the visual structure of a traditional balustrade. Posts can be face-mounted or core-drilled, and are available in a range of powder-coat and stainless finishes.

Semi-frameless is a popular choice for longer runs, tiered decks, or properties where budget is a consideration without wanting to sacrifice the glass aesthetic.

Stair Balustrading

Glass stair balustrades transform internal and external staircases — adding light, openness, and a premium finish to any home. We measure and fabricate each panel to the exact rake angle and rise/going dimensions of your staircase, ensuring a seamless fit with no gaps or misalignment.

Stair balustrades comply with the National Construction Code (NCC) requirements for fall protection height (1000mm for stairs) and structural loading.

Balcony Balustrading

Glass balcony balustrades make the most of your outlook while meeting the NCC requirement of 1000mm height for balconies above 1 metre. We work with brick veneer, concrete slab, and timber-framed balconies and can advise on the right fixing method for your structure.
