Murrays Bay is compact but the sections are steep — a lot of the homes step down the hill toward the beach, which means decks stacked one above the other, each needing its own balustrade. The view from up here is the whole reason people buy these houses, so frameless glass is the natural choice. A channel system keeps the barrier as thin as possible and lets you see right out to the gulf.
Because the decks are exposed on the cliff edge, wind is a real factor. We engineer every balustrade to the specific exposure — a sheltered lower deck and an exposed upper deck on the same house can need different fixing details. I'd rather over-specify the fixings than have a balustrade rattle in a southerly.
The streets in Murrays Bay are narrow and the sections drop away quickly, so getting glass panels and gear on site takes a bit of planning. We scope the access before we quote — sometimes it's a straight carry from the street, sometimes we need to come through the house or down a side path. It doesn't change the finished job, but it does shape how we schedule the install.
A few Murrays Bay homes have pools on the lower terraces, and we fit frameless glass barriers that keep them legal and visible from the house above. Shower screens round out the work here — the renovated bathrooms in these homes tend to be compact, so a frameless hinged door is the right call to keep the space feeling open.
If you're on the hill at Murrays Bay and need a balustrade that won't block the view, give our team a call.
