Mounting glass to fences, rails, and balconies is a great way to achieve a sleek facade for your property or home. It’s luxuriously modern and improves home value tremendously. Whether you want to affix glass railing to your staircases, create a seamless pool fence, or build a contemporary balcony, you’ll need to choose how to fashion your luxe fit out from our glass mount options. Choose between spigot mounts, aluminium channels, and side-fixed glass to give your home the interiors you desire. We can help with unique visually-appealing designs to assist in from-scratch builds or architectural redesigns.
Spigot mounts are sleek mounts that affix to your stairs or floor to hold plate glass. It suspends the glass from the bottom with a strong clamp to avoid the use of unsightly frames. For this method of installation, consider the surrounding architecture and whether you have other sympathetic design elements in the area. Despite their sleek design they are relatively chunky. Speak to us at Sydney Frameless Glass to discover your options for spigot finishes.
Spigot mounts are uniquely designed to hold large panes of glass separately to comprise a fence for your home or property. The gap of a few millimetres between each joint creates the impression of floating glass and is an instantly modern feature. However, this means the fence may not be airtight and therefore allow the passage of dirt, dust, or debris. This concern isn’t relevant to indoor installations, but may affect the utility of outdoor designs. Make sure to consider what else you want from your mounted glass rails along with the glamorous finish.
This type of mounting involves glass that is placed in slots of aluminium and affixed to the floor. These are similar to frames or rails as they offer a seamless transition and a floor-to-wall application of glass. This creates unobstructed views and easy cleaning, so may be most suitable for balconies or clients who want to minimise the amount of stainless steel that is visible. It is also generally gapless and provides higher coverage than suspended frames, along with being a great way to elevate the architectural appeal of your property. In the same way that the spigot mounts create the illusion of floating glass panes, this mounting creates a completely frameless profile. Check out our gallery for more examples of this sleek design. We can help you select the right mounting for your aesthetic and utility requirements.
Side fixed glass is a mount that attaches the side of a glass pane to an overhang via a stainless or coloured fixture. These fixtures can look great if they are matched to the tone of the surrounding materials used near the fence. Spigots can provide a sleeker profile with no jutting mounts, but side fixed glass gives greater room on the inside of the installation. This type is most suitable for stairs as it doesn’t compromise any space inside the fenced area.
