Frequently Asked Questions
Does the glass in a balustrade or patio enclosure need to be a special type?
Yes and Australian building regulations require balustrades and patio enclosures to use safety glass. Depending on the application, this will generally be either toughened (tempered) or laminated glass.
Toughened glass is heat treated to make it significantly stronger than standard glass and, if broken, it shatters into small blunt fragments rather than sharp shards. Laminated glass includes an interlayer that helps hold the panel together if cracked, making it especially useful for overhead glazing or high traffic areas.
The correct glass type and thickness will depend on factors such as the height, span, wind exposure, and structural loading requirements of the installation. We’ll recommend the most suitable option during the quoting process.
What height does a balcony balustrade need to be?
Under the National Construction Code (NCC), balustrades on surfaces more than one metre above ground level generally need to be at least one metre high. For balconies more than four metres above the ground, the minimum height typically increases to 1.1 metres.
There are also regulations around climbability, including restrictions on gaps, horizontal rails and other features that could create footholds. We take all of these requirements into account during the design and quoting stage, so you don’t have to navigate the building code yourself.
Can you replace a broken glass panel without replacing the whole balustrade?
In most cases, yes. Individual glass panels can often be replaced without removing the entire balustrade or enclosure system. The important part is accurately matching the existing glass type, thickness, tint, and dimensions so the replacement panel integrates seamlessly with the rest of the installation. During the replacement process, we also inspect the surrounding hardware and fixings to ensure everything remains safe and secure.
Do you offer emergency glass replacement services if a panel breaks unexpectedly?
Yes. Broken glass is a safety issue and we treat it as one and as such we offer 24/7 emergency glass repair and replacement across the Sunshine Coast, including Noosa, Montville and Caboolture. Give us a call on 07 5452 6816 and we’ll get someone out to you. If the breakage is covered by your home insurance, the emergency service can be billed directly to your insurer, which takes some of the stress out of it.
Do I need council approval to install a balustrade or enclose my patio?
It depends on the scope of work and your local council’s requirements. Replacing existing glass like-for-like generally doesn’t require a development approval, but if you’re making structural changes, enclosing a previously open area or the work falls under a certain value threshold, you may need a building permit. We can advise you on what’s commonly required, but council or a building certifier can confirm the exact requirements for your property.
How long does installation usually take?
For a straight glass replacement on an existing balustrade, it’s often done in a single visit and in a few hours at most. A new balustrade installation or patio enclosure takes longer depending on the size and complexity, but most residential jobs are completed in a day or two of onsite work. The lead time between your measure-and-quote and the installation date depends on glass fabrication and we’ll give you a realistic timeframe when we come out to quote.
