Tired of replacing corroded balcony railings? Learn why property owners in Monterey and Brighton-Le-Sands are switching to frameless glass balustrades that withstand coastal salt air while keeping their million-dollar views of the bay.
If you find yourself on Campbell Parade overlooking Bondi Beach, take a moment to look at most buildings along the shoreline. See if you spot a common architectural feature: frameless balustrade glass installations.
More property owners along the coast—Monterey and the famed Brighton-Le-Sands—are investing in frameless balustrades for balconies and staircases to open up uninterrupted views of the sea.
Monterey has fabulous views of the sea, but if you're a property owner here, you know that salt spray and humidity can damage wood and metal with rot, rust, mould, or corrosion.
The answer: glass—durable, affordable, and weather-resistant glass.
Traditional balustrades might need replacement every few years. However, properly installed glass balustrades and balconies maintain their integrity and appearance with little maintenance. That's why top Sydney glaziers like SOS Glass Services recommend frameless glass installations in coastal areas.

For Monterey's mix of older and newer properties, this adaptability makes glass suitable for both renovations and new construction.
Frameless glass installations comply with Australia's strict safety standards (even the 2023 updates to Australian Standard AS1288) while requiring minimal maintenance.
SOS Glass Services has expanded from Bexley to meet growing demand in Monterey, where the practical advantages of frameless glass have the potential to save homeowners and businesses thousands of dollars in repairs.
Professional installation ensures proper anchoring, appropriate glass thickness, and compliance with building codes.
In addition to frameless glass balustrades, the frameless glass experts at SOS Glass Services install glass pool fencing, commercial glass replacement, glass splashbacks, shower screens, and mirrors. Emergency services include on-site cleanup, glass cutting, and quick replacement.
