FRAMELESS GLASS BALUSTRADES
Benefits

Sleek and Minimalist: Ideal for modern interiors and exteriors, frameless balustrades create a minimalist aesthetic.
Customisation Options: Choose from different glass thicknesses, finishes, and mounting styles to suit your preferences.
cost considerations
Higher Cost: Frameless designs tend to be more expensive due to the need for thicker glass and specialised mounting systems.
Installation Complexity: These installations may require more skilled labour, adding to the overall cost.
FRAMED GLASS BALUSTRADES
Benefits
Added Structural Support: The frame provides extra support, which can be particularly beneficial for areas with high foot traffic or where extra sturdiness is desired.
Variety of Frame Materials: Choose from different materials like stainless steel, aluminium, or wood to complement your space’s design.
Cost-Effective Option: Generally, framed balustrades are more affordable due to the use of thinner glass and simpler installation requirements.
cost considerations
Lower Initial Cost: Framed balustrades typically have a lower upfront cost, making them an economical choice for budget-conscious projects.
More Maintenance: The frame may require more upkeep to prevent wear and tear, depending on the material used.
