Semi Frameless Balustrading
These Semi-Frameless glass balustrades create a crisp, clear finished border for your project. The posts are fabricated from marine grade aluminium or 316 stainless steel. They are strong and durable, highly corrosion resistant to even the harshest coastal environments and will boast a stunning finish for many years to come. The glass clamps that form part of the balustrade system are designed as pre-installed components of the posts, to reduce installation time.
With a range of Semi-Frameless Balustrade profile options, our Semi-Frameless Balustrade solutions will bring a modern sleek finish to your project.

Enjoy wonderful views with this popular balustrade product. Australis offers a semi framed balustrade system with great structural integrity that does not compromise the spectacular views. This semi framed system includes handrails and stanchions that strengthen the frame and add a dynamic feature to the exterior. Architects can utilise a streamlined frame and hidden fixings to maximise view and minimise obstruction.
Typical design features include:
This premium balustrade product allows Architects to make the most of the balustrading as a feature and customise to the desired aesthetic of the design. The high lustre of Stainless Steel stands out, is long lasting, easily customisable and suitable for all applications. The customisable features means the framing can be either a subtle or bold feature depending on preference, without compromising on stunning exterior views.
Typical design features include:
The Centaurus Balustrade system offers all the features of Vega with a wider range of finishes and colour choices, making the balustrading a key feature of your project. Steel is long lasting, easily customisable and suitable for all applications. The customisable features of Centaurus mean the framing can be either a subtle or bold feature depending on preference, without compromising on stunning exterior views.
Typical design features 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.

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-grinded 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 shine has been removed, but unlike a brushed polish, there are no visible brush strokes visible in the metal.
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-stop 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.
