Framing and fixing options
Balustrades range from semi-frameless with slim posts, to channel-fixed where the glass sits in a base channel, to fully frameless with discreet clamps or spigots. More glass on show and less visible hardware means a higher price. The right choice depends on the setting, the drop below, and the look you are after.
Compliance: heights, gaps and glass grade
SA rules set the minimum balustrade height and the maximum gaps, and they specify the glass grade for the situation. For a balcony with a drop, or an overhead application, laminated glass is typically required so that if it ever breaks it holds together rather than falling. A good installer designs to the rules from the start.

SA rules set minimum heights that depend on the drop below. An installer designs the balustrade to meet the required height and gap limits for your situation.
For a feature staircase or a balcony with a view, the uninterrupted glass look is often worth the premium. For a functional deck balustrade, semi-frameless does the job for less.
