Opal Glass, an authorised UNEX fabricator, delivered a premium frameless glass balustrade solution for Aish Developments in Hamilton. The UNEX Arena Points Frameless Glass Balustrade with tinted glass was the perfect choice for this project, offering a modern, striking aesthetic while reducing glare from the afternoon sun.

Project Challenges & Solutions

This project presented a range of complexities, from structural variations to the site's challenging terrain. However, Opal Glass rose to the occasion, ensuring a seamless and high-quality installation.

  • Achieving a High-End Architectural Look
    Aish Developments wanted a classy and contemporary finish that would elevate the entire project. The frameless glass balustrade delivered a sophisticated, sleek appearance, allowing natural light to flow through while maintaining an unobstructed view.
  • Overcoming Structural Challenges
    The deck perimeter was constructed using multiple materials, requiring expert precision to maintain a consistent and flawless finish across all areas. Thanks to Opal’s expertise, the result was a seamless and cohesive look that enhanced the development’s overall aesthetic.
  • Navigating Site Elevation & Slopes
    With elevated decks and a sloping site, installing large frameless glass panels was no small feat. Opal Glass took a practical, hands-on approach, addressing challenges without the need for additional contractors - saving time and streamlining the process.
