Beyond Clear: Introducing Tinted and Frosted Glass Balustrades

While crystal-clear glass will always be a classic, sometimes a project requires a touch of privacy, texture, or colour. For those looking to inject distinct style or manage visibility, tinted and frosted glass balustrades offer stylish, functional alternatives.

Tinted Glass: The Modern Touch

Tinted glass is manufactured with colour mixed in—most commonly a sleek grey or bronze finish.

  • Aesthetic Depth: A tint adds a sophisticated, dark element to the design, contrasting beautifully with polished stainless steel hardware and modern architecture.

  • Glare Reduction: Tints slightly reduce harsh sunlight and glare, making outdoor areas like sun-exposed decks more comfortable on bright days.

Frosted Glass: Blending Privacy and Light

Frosted glass offers a beautiful, diffused look where transparency is not desired.

  • Enhanced Privacy: This is ideal for balconies or deck areas overlooking neighbours, providing privacy without blocking all incoming light.

  • Softened Light: Frosted glass diffuses light, creating a soft glow that eliminates reflections and fingerprints, making it extremely popular for internal staircases and landings.

Whether you're prioritizing maximum view or tailored privacy, there is a perfect glass type for your project.
