Frameless vs Semi-Frameless Glass Balustrades
Both systems use toughened safety glass, but the right choice depends on your site and style.
Frameless glass balustrades rely on precision spigots or a base channel to support each panel with no visible vertical posts. The result is a completely uninterrupted sightline, ideal for elevated decks and balconies around Hobart where views are a key selling point. These systems suit new builds and renovations with clean, contemporary architecture.
Semi-frameless systems use slimline aluminium posts at panel edges, offering added structural support and a subtle decorative element. They can work well on stairs, porches, and pool surrounds where a defined line suits the space. Able Aluminium Products offers clear and tinted glass across both systems, with over 160 powder-coat colour options for all aluminium hardware.
Where Balustrades Can Be Used
Balustrades are a versatile barrier solution suited to a wide range of applications on Hobart properties.
- Balconies and elevated decks where open views and coastal light need to be preserved.
- Internal and external staircases that benefit from a light-filled, modern look.
- Pool surrounds where safety barriers are required and visibility is a priority.
- Street-facing verandahs and porches in established suburbs like Bellerive and Sorell.

Your Balustrade Questions, Answered
What Is the Difference Between Frameless and Semi-Frameless Glass Balustrades?
Frameless systems use spigots or a base channel with no visible posts. Semi-frameless adds slim aluminium posts at panel edges for added support and definition.
Are Glass Balustrades Safe for Decks and Balconies?
Yes. Able Aluminium Products uses toughened safety glass meeting AS 1288 requirements, covering barrier height, glass selection, and fixing methods for wind and impact loads.
Can Glass Balustrades Be Retrofitted to an Existing Deck or Staircase?
Often yes. Spigot-mounted frameless systems typically need minimal structural changes. A free quote inspection will confirm whether your existing structure is suitable.
