Clear appeal

Open-plan living spaces and good indoor/outdoor flow are a priority for most homeowners planning to renovate. The inclusion of clear balustrading both inside and out is one way to help promote an open and inviting modern living environment.

Using a simple palette of materials like glass and stainless steel for balustrading around a balcony, on a staircase and around the pool can add design cohesion to your renovation, says the manager at ProStainless, a company that specialises in architectural sheetmetalwork and stainless steel balustrading.

"We have a thorough understanding of our product and its applications and often surprise people with what we are capable of achieving for them," he says.

The company is one of New Zealand's largest suppliers of balustrading options and accompanying stainless steel fittings, accessories for staircases and balconies, as well as pool fences and gates.

Homeowners can also benefit from the safety aspect a clear glass pool fence can provide, he says.

"Glass pool fences keep the entire pool area open visually, and the slick, glass surface presents no footing or grip for children attempting to climb it."
