Install Glass Balustrades on Decking to Enjoy Spring & Summer - Big T’s Fencing

Spring has set in and gives a feeling that summer is not very far. With the warmer weather around the corner that will bring in longer days, we’ll be spending more of our time in the outdoor space of our homes. It’s the best time to start making your garden space best for you. 

Combining decking and glass balustrades is the best choice for many households who wish to revive their outdoor space into a kind of extra space. The weather remains milder from September through November, and many Sydney dwellers even eat outside during this period. Conversely, many households are unsure how to use their outdoor decking space.

At Big T’s Fencing , we help our clients to design and build their garden or deck balustrades to fit seamlessly with their decking and garden features. We have created this blog to show you how we can prepare your decking for the approaching summer with our modish and classy glass balustrades.

The Design for Glass Balustrade.

If you decide to use glass for your balustrade design, it’s essential to consider your decking to determine the best pairings for aesthetic purposes. Various glass balustrades are further divided into frame-less glass balustrades and post and clamp style balustrades.

Frame-less Glass

Frame-less glass provides a contemporary and sleek look and is often found in and around office buildings for its stylish appearance. It offers the perfect choice to pair with decking and treats those around it with an unhindered view. The glass of frameless glass balustrades is durable and can withstand the rising salt and moisture in the air without eroding or forming rust or wear and tear on the metal. Frameless glass also blends well with tile or stone decking, making the space feel modish, and is often practical when the outdoors is used for cooking or dining.

Post and Clamp

The post and clamp balustrade style is a bit traditional and commonly used to pair with decking, offering a practical choice. It rarely requires structural work, so it has a quicker installation time and is easy to maintain and update. Nevertheless, the post and clamp are perfect for landlocked climates but are not suitable for areas near the coastal region.

Installing Glass Balustrades on Your Decking 

If you’re installing glass balustrades on metal, wood or stone, you’ll need to make sure you have your posts, glass panels, and a handrail (if you’re using it), along with your screwdriver, screws, drill, glass clamps, fixtures and fixing plates for the posts.

Installing the posts, fixing the handrail and installing your glass panels are crucial stages in post and clamp, whilst frameless glass balustrades for decking require a different method for installation, which involves mounting glass panels on a straight base. An additional feature, like innovative lighting, can lend a finishing touch to your glass balustrade and prepare your decking for summer. You can choose motion-sensor LED lights that activate by movement or go with in-floor lighting that you can install in the decking area.
