Edge balustrade at Americas Cup team base

Edge® Americas Cup Connections

26 May 2021 by Steve Huish

Much like the incredible yachts of the 36th America's Cup, the Edge® balustrading system is adaptable and versatile.

While we're unwavering Emirates Team New Zealand fans, our HomePlus South East Auckland Exteriors team had the opportunity to outfit the American Magic team base for the competition earlier this year.

The Edge® Balustrade system exudes reliability and when coupled with our Semi-frameless glass option, can transform any balcony with a view into a statement of style. The perfect choice for a yacht base in the Auckland viaduct.

There is a range of glass options that allow for different top rail or handrail options. Choose 8mm or 10mm toughened glass, or if you want a sleek look without the need for a top handrail, go with 13.2mm laminated, toughened glass.

Edge® Balustrading also comes as a completely aluminium system with a variety of options; vertical balusters, slats, louvres, or perforated screens are all available options that can be used on the same project where required.

Think there are a lot of options? Don't worry, our team are expert and can help you choose the best set-up for your property; be it a quiet retreat or the base of highly technical yachts.
