Semi-Frameless Glass Balustrades
Description
Provista Balustrade Systems Semi-frameless balustrade systems feature modern aluminium post and handrail profile designs suiting both classic and contemporary building design.
Hidden post-fixings when face-fixing to a deck structure provide an ultra-clean look. There’s a choice of flat or rounded handrail profiles and infill panels can be toughened or laminated safety glass. The two main styles are Summit, providing a gap between top edge of the glass and the handrail, and Panorama, where the glass continues into the handrail rebate.
