Glass Balustrading: Perfect For Your Home Escape

22 December 2021 by Dan Rawling

When you are having a relaxing summer drink in your outdoor area with an awesome view, you don’t want to have any of your views obstructed whatsoever. Fencing, while required under pool safety legislation, should be sympathetic to their location, and this is where The Edgetec Mini Post system used in this project was a perfect solution for this customer.

This handsome property is located in Gisborne and the home owner has an expansive outdoor area surrounded by impressive views on all sides.

So how did this work?

The job was installed by HomePlus Gisborne and the Edgetec Mini Post system used is an adjustable aluminium post clamping solution, for installing toughened glass panel pool fencing (and/or balustrades with an interlinking top rail). Manufactured from architectural grade aluminium, the Mini Posts can be finished in a choice of custom powder-coated colours (from a wide range of Dulux Colours) or a natural anodized finish.  

The Mini Post system was a perfect option for the client. The matching Mini Post brackets together with the glass panels, are modern, handsome and have maximised uncluttered views and are congenial to the scenic location. They are also safe and compliant with pool safety legislation.

This is an increasingly popular choice with customers looking for new options or to modernise their current fencing safely and stylishly. The customers were very happy with the end result which has complimented their already impressive outdoor entertaining area. From the pictures, we are confident this outdoor entertainment area with its modern pavilion having uninterrupted views from the bar, will be well appreciated during what everyone hopes will be a great summer.
