Applications
Balconies
The most popular application in Malaysian homes. Especially in high-rise condos where views are a selling point.
Staircases
Glass staircase railings make interiors feel open and spacious. Light flows freely between floors.
Pool Areas
Tempered glass fencing around pools is both safe and stylish. Required by law in many developments.
Terraces and Decks
Ground-level glass railings define outdoor spaces without creating visual barriers.
Safety Standards
Malaysian building codes require:
- Minimum 12mm tempered glass or laminated glass for railings
- Railing height minimum 1,000mm (residential)
- Post spacing maximum 1,200mm
- Load rating to withstand specified horizontal force
Choosing the Right Glass
For railings, we recommend:
- Tempered laminated glass for maximum safety
- 12mm minimum thickness for structural integrity
- Clear glass for views, frosted for privacy
- Low-iron glass for crystal-clear transparency (no green tint)
