Frequently Asked Questions
What is frameless glass?
Frameless glass is a modern glazing system that uses toughened safety glass fixed with minimal hardware (like channels, spigots, or brackets) instead of bulky frames. It’s popular for balustrades, pool fencing, staircases, and windbreaks because it looks clean and open.
Is frameless glass safe and strong?
Yes. Frameless systems use safety glass (typically toughened, and sometimes laminated depending on the application). When correctly specified and installed, frameless glass is designed to handle everyday loads and conditions while maintaining a sleek look.
What thickness of glass do I need for frameless glass balustrades or pool fencing?
Glass thickness depends on the application, fixing method, and site conditions (like fall height, wind zone, and mounting surface). Common options include 10mm, 12mm, 15mm, and laminated variations. The best approach is a quick site check so the system can be specified correctly.
How do I clean and maintain frameless glass?
Frameless glass is low maintenance. Use a soft cloth, mild detergent, and clean water, then squeegee dry for a streak-free finish. Avoid abrasive pads and harsh chemicals. For coastal areas, regular rinsing helps reduce salt build-up on glass and hardware.
Can frameless glass be installed outdoors in New Zealand weather?
Absolutely. Frameless glass is widely used outdoors across NZ, including coastal locations. The key is choosing the right hardware grade, correct fixing method, and proper engineering/specification where required (especially for wind zones and elevated areas).
