Balustrades

Introduction

For a soft and sophisticated style and see-through effect, glass balustrades are very effective. Glass balustrade systems enable you to have a safe and secure balustrade with the brilliance of a nearly uninterrupted view. Spigot mount, face fixed, channel set or semi frameless fixing posts – a system that suits your requirement can be designed and supplied. The Slim Line balustrade can work with both Frameless & Semi Frameless Glass fencing options. The Balustrade can be supported by either 316 Marine Grade stainless steel, Powder Coated or Anodised treated aluminium with a variety of finishes available.

Glass balustrades are ideal for that extra bit of style and functionality without compromising on safety and security.

Technical

Dulux interpon® D610 excel powder coatings have been designed to meet or exceed the following standards:

AS3715 – 2002 Australian standard metal finishing – thermoset coatings for architectural applications for aluminium and aluminium alloys.

AS4506 – 2005 Australian standard metal finishing – thermoset powder coatings

Balustrades made from structural aluminium are then anodised with 20-25 micron of clear anodise, meaning maintenance free with no corrosion.

The balustrade mountings are resistant to salt corrosion and are therefore ideal for salt-water swimming pools, beach areas and coastal homes.

Care and maintenance

Just as you maintain the appearance of your car, powder coated and glass surfaces need routine cleaning to remove dirt and grime. This ensures that you maintain the decorative and protective properties of the coating. Just a gentle clean wash with a soft brush and mild detergent followed by a fresh water rinse will maintain the long term performance of your powder coated products.

Warning: strong abrasive house hold cleaners and solvents including those recommend for thinning paints such as MEK or paint thinners are harmful to powder coating these must not be used. Acidic and alcohol based cleaning products should also not be used.
