Can Provista balustrades be used around a swimming pool?

Provista offers glass and aluminium pool fencing systems. Pool barriers have specific safety requirements, so the appropriate system and installation method must be selected for the project.

Why West Coast Balustrades Need the Right Materials

Request a Free Consultation

West Coast homes can be exposed to high rainfall, strong winds, moisture, coastal air and salt spray, making material selection and correct installation particularly important for exterior balustrades.

Provista systems use durable aluminium, safety glass and concealed fixings, with powder-coated and anodised finish options available. Provista also specifies finish options intended for higher-corrosion zones on some systems.

Frequently Asked Questions About Balustrades on the West Coast

If you're planning a new deck, balcony or outdoor living area, you may be wondering about balustrade requirements, glass options, aluminium systems, safety, maintenance and which style will work best for your property.

Below we've answered some common questions about glass and aluminium balustrades in New Zealand, including frameless glass, deck balustrades, balcony balustrades and choosing a system for West Coast conditions.

Ken Drummond Builders can help you select a Provista balustrade system suited to your home, structure and surrounding environment.

Provista Balustrade Systems

When does a deck need a balustrade in New Zealand?

Whether a barrier is required depends on the fall from the deck or accessible area and the applicable New Zealand Building Code requirements. The individual project should be assessed before construction or replacement work begins.

Are Provista balustrades compliant with New Zealand requirements?

Provista states that its balustrade systems are engineer-designed for applicable residential and commercial requirements, with systems referencing standards including AS/NZS 1170 and NZS 4223.3. The exact product specification and installation requirements should be followed for each project.

What is the best balustrade for a West Coast deck?

The best option depends on the deck, outlook, exposure, architecture and desired level of maintenance. Frameless glass balustrades are ideal where maintaining views is important, while aluminium systems provide a strong, low-maintenance alternative.

What is the difference between framed, semi-frameless and frameless glass balustrades?

Framed glass uses aluminium posts and framing around the glass. Semi-frameless systems reduce the amount of visible framing, while frameless systems minimise structural elements around the glass to provide a clearer outlook. Provista offers all three options.

Are glass balustrades safe?

Provista uses toughened safety glass in its glass balustrade systems and designs its products around applicable structural and NZ glazing standards. The exact glass specification varies depending on the chosen system and application.

Are aluminium balustrades suitable for coastal properties?

Aluminium can be a practical option for exposed properties because of its corrosion resistance and low maintenance. Provista offers powder-coated and anodised finishes, including finish options specified for higher-corrosion zones on some systems.

Can a glass balustrade be installed on an existing deck?

Potentially. The existing deck and supporting structure first need to be assessed to determine whether they are suitable for the proposed balustrade and fixing system.

Can I use Provista balustrades around a swimming pool?

Provista offers dedicated glass and aluminium pool fencing systems as part of its product range. Pool barriers have specific safety requirements, so the correct system and installation must be selected for the application.

Can I choose the colour of an aluminium balustrade?

Yes. Provista offers powder-coated and anodised finishes in a range of colours, allowing the balustrade to complement or contrast with the exterior of the home.

Where does Ken Drummond Builders provide Provista balustrades?

Ken Drummond Builders provides Provista balustrade solutions across the West Coast, including Lake Brunner, Moana, Greymouth, Hokitika, Punakaiki, Reefton and Westport, depending on the project.
