Design Inferno designs, measures, manufactures and installs custom glass balustrades from its factory and showroom at 48 Logistics Street, Keilor Park. Choose a frameless or semi-framed system for your staircase, balcony, deck or pool area, made from toughened laminated safety glass and fitted by professional installers. Request a free measure and quote, or visit the showroom to compare glass and hardware before you decide.
A glass balustrade protects an elevated area while keeping the space open and full of light. Design Inferno builds each balustrade for the exact site. A professional glazier measures the staircase, balcony or deck, then the panels are manufactured in our Keilor Park factory to suit the heights, angles and fixing surfaces of your property.
We support residential and commercial projects of every kind:
Because the factory and showroom are both at 48 Logistics Street in Keilor Park, in the City of Brimbank, you can view glass, hardware and completed examples in person before ordering. We also supply glass balustrades across Melbourne.
The right system depends on where the balustrade sits, how it fixes to the structure and the look you want. Frameless systems preserve open views. Semi-framed systems add visible support. Both are custom-made, and both are sometimes called glass railings or glass barriers.
A frameless glass balustrade uses toughened laminated glass panels with minimal visible hardware, so the view stays clear, and the space feels open. Panels are supported by fixings such as stainless steel spigots, base channels or glass clamps, selected to suit the structure. Frameless systems suit balconies, decks and modern interiors where the glass itself is the feature.
A semi-framed glass balustrade combines glass panels with stainless steel posts or partial framing. The added support suits longer runs, exposed outdoor areas and projects that want a defined edge, at a more accessible entry point than a full frameless system.
Yes, glass balustrades can be installed on stairs. Raked panels are measured and cut to follow the stair angle, so each panel is made individually. A glass staircase railing keeps light moving through the stairwell and can modernise an older staircase without blocking the space. Handrail options are available where the design needs them.
Glass pool fencing gives a clear view of the pool area while providing a secure barrier. Pool barriers have their own requirements, including self-closing gates, and these are confirmed during the design stage. See our glass pool fencing page for the full range.
Are frameless glass balustrades safe? Yes, when they are correctly designed, manufactured and installed. Design Inferno uses toughened laminated safety glass, which combines the strength of toughened glass with an interlayer that helps hold the panel together if the glass is ever broken.
Two Australian Standards apply to balustrade glazing. AS/NZS 2208 sets the testing requirements for safety glazing materials. AS 1288 covers the selection and installation of glass in buildings, including barriers, and works within the National Construction Code framework. Whether a particular design needs a handrail or interlinking rail depends on the system, the fall height and the applicable requirements, so we confirm this during the site measure rather than making one claim for every project. Where a project involves a building surveyor or structural engineer, we work in with them.
A safer balustrade comes from:
Every Design Inferno balustrade is made to measure. A glazier measures the site before anything is manufactured, because the fall height, the fixing surface and the angles decide the glass sizes and the hardware.
A professional site measure records the details that shape the design:
These conditions also shape the quotation, so the finished balustrade and the price both reflect the actual site rather than an assumed one.
Yes, a timber or metal balustrade can usually be replaced with glass, subject to a site inspection. Removing an older balustrade can reveal substrate damage, rusted fixings or levels that need correction. Inspecting the area first means the new design allows for these conditions instead of relying on the old fixing points.
Hardware does the structural work and finishes the look. Depending on the system, panels are supported by stainless steel spigots, base channels, glass clamps or posts, with handrail options where the design calls for them. Finishes include stainless steel and black, confirmed during consultation so the balustrade suits the rest of the property.
Glass balustrades are easy to look after. Regular cleaning with a glass cleaner and a soft cloth keeps the panels clear, and an occasional check of the hardware keeps the system performing as installed. Outdoor balustrades may need cleaning a little more often because of weather exposure.
Our process keeps every balustrade project clear from the first conversation to the final inspection. Timeframes depend on the measurements and the scope of the project and are confirmed with your quote.
We discuss the location, preferred system, budget and finish, in the showroom or over the phone.
A glazier checks the heights, angles, fixing surfaces and levels at your property.
We recommend the system, glass, hardware and layout, then provide a customised quotation for the exact site.
The toughened laminated panels are fabricated to size in our Keilor Park factory and the hardware is prepared.
We fix, level, align and secure the panels, then complete the final checks.
We explain cleaning and hardware care, and our workmanship is backed by a warranty.
You can view glass balustrades in Keilor Park at the Design Inferno showroom, 48 Logistics Street, Keilor Park VIC 3042. Seeing the glass, hardware and finishes in person makes it much easier to choose between a frameless and semi-framed system.
