When it comes to outdoor spaces, it’s all about balancing style, safety, and practicality. Whether you’re designing a stunning balcony, protecting your pool area, or creating a wind-sheltered retreat, glass is the perfect material to elevate your space. Sleek, durable, and versatile, it blends seamlessly into any setting while offering the functionality you need.

 

At OnPoint, we specialise in outdoor glass solutions that not only look amazing but are built to last. Let’s explore how custom glass features like balustrades, wind breaks, and pool fences can transform your outdoor areas.

 

Glass Balustrades: The Perfect Blend of Safety and Style

 

A glass balustrade is the ultimate finishing touch for balconies, decks, and stairways. It provides all the safety of a traditional railing while keeping your views wide open. Instead of obstructing your outlook with bulky materials, glass balustrades let you enjoy the scenery, whether it’s a mountain range, a lush garden, or your backyard pool.

 

Made from toughened safety glass, these balustrades are built to last. They can handle the wear and tear of outdoor living while maintaining their sleek, modern appearance. Plus, they’re surprisingly low maintenance just a quick clean to keep them looking their best.

 

Custom designs mean you can choose a style that suits your space, whether that’s fully frameless for a minimalist look or semi-framed for a bit of added structure.


On Point Wind Breaks, perfect for Outdoor living

Glass Wind Breaks: Enjoy the Outdoors in Comfort

 

Wind can quickly turn a relaxing outdoor space into a spot you avoid, but a glass wind break changes the game. These transparent panels shield your patio, deck, or alfresco dining area from harsh gusts without blocking your view or sunlight.

 

Unlike traditional wind barriers, glass doesn’t make your space feel closed in. Instead, it creates a cozy, sheltered area that still feels open and connected to the outdoors. It’s a game-changer for Central Otago’s unpredictable weather, letting you enjoy outdoor living no matter what the wind is up to.

A pool fence is a non-negotiable for safety, especially if you have kids or pets, but that doesn’t mean it has to ruin the aesthetics of your backyard. Glass pool fences combine safety with sophistication, creating a barrier that’s as secure as it is stylish.

 

These fences are designed to meet strict safety standards while maintaining an unobtrusive look. You get peace of mind knowing your pool area is secure, without compromising on the open, inviting feel of your outdoor space. And with options for frameless or semi-framed designs, you can tailor the look to suit your style.

 

Glass is the ultimate choice for outdoor features because it offers durability, elegance, and versatility all in one. Toughened safety glass is built to withstand the elements, from harsh UV rays to wind and rain, making it a reliable option for any climate. Its transparency creates a sense of openness, seamlessly integrating with your surroundings and allowing you to enjoy natural light and views. Plus, it’s incredibly easy to maintain, so you can spend more time enjoying your space and less time worrying about upkeep.
