Star Metal’s most popular Frameless Balustrading system; Orion offers a near uninterrupted view with minimal visual obstruction.
The view is the key feature, with many of our oceanfront or riverside properties opting for this system. Manufactured from durable and corrosion resistant materials, Orion is designed to withstand harsh coastal and UV environments.
Typical design features include:
Channel or face fixed – Pegasus boasts the most unobstructed view available and is Star Metal’s premium Frameless Balustrading System where the view is the star. Watch the sunset with the feel of nothing between you and the horizon. Using the highest marine grade stainless steel available, this product is suitable for all environments including harsh coastal locations.
Typical features include:
Similar to Orion, this Frameless Balustrading System is useful when face mounting to a nib or low height wall. Omega offers a near uninterrupted view with minimal obstruction visible. The view is the key feature, with many of our ocean front or river side properties opting for the Omega System. Using the highest marine grade steel available, Omega is suitable for all environments including harsh coastal locations.
Customisable for project requirements, typical features of the Omega balustrade include:
Carefully remove any loose surface deposits with a wet sponge. Use a soft brush (non-abrasive) and a dilute solution of a mild detergent, e.g., pH-neutral liquid hand dishwashing detergent in warm water (DO NOT use solvents) to remove dust, salt, and other deposits. Rinse surfaces with clean water after cleaning to remove residue.
Use a commercial window washing solution or mild soap and water. Uniformly spray or apply the cleaning solution with a soft, grit-free, cloth sponge or pad and Rinse thoroughly. The glass surface should then be wiped dry with a clean grit-free cloth or Squeegeed dry.
Use a non-abrasive cloth with warm water for general cleaning. For removing fingerprints, use any glass cleaning products. Towel dry after cleaning to prevent water spotting. Ensuring it is Chloride free, Stainless steel cleaner is acceptable.
For multi-storey or multi-level applications, there are a number of benefits to frameless balustrading;
Due to its C3 safety rating and versatility the Zurich Series is well suited to a range of applications, including;

Polishing of any type improves the texture, appearance and consistency of stainless steel.
Colours can be chosen from all leading powder manufacturers.
Super Durable Polyester Thermosetting Powder Coating to comply with Australian Standard AS 3715, AAMA 2603 and AAMA 2604
Guaranteed performance on appropriately pre-treated aluminium and steel with excellent colour retention, super durable finish and on-trend anodised flat finish.
Polishing of any type improves the texture, appearance and consistency of stainless steel. In the case of mirror polish, it creates a surface with a brilliant shine.
The metal is pre-ground to remove defects and then bright buffed to bring out a smooth reflective finish that shines even with the least bit of light.
The benefit of the mirror finish is that it also improves corrosion resistance. Further, mirror finish eliminates crevices, where corrosive particles deposit themselves.
A satin finish lacks the brilliant sheen of a mirror polish. The finish has a consistent brushed surface with the added benefit of fingerprints and marks being less visible. This finish is recommended for high traffic areas.
A mill finish is a semi dull/semi reflective finish. It resembles a hazy mirror, with some reflection and is ideal for heavy traffic surfaces.
Electropolishing removes a microscopically precise layer of surface material, to tolerances as low as +/-.0001”, depending on the alloy.
Electropolishing is a one-step process for a micro-smooth, ultraclean, corrosion and pathogen-resistant surface finish – with 30 times more corrosion resistance than passivation
Electropolishing also eliminates the need for additional metal finishing processes like hand deburring, tumbling, pickling and cleaning.
