Supreme Balustrades recently installed nearly 100m of UNEX’s Siena aluminium and glass balustrade in Belmont, Wellington. The result? A sleek, compliant solution that enhances safety without compromising the stunning views.
Siena Balustrades Combine Views, Compliance, and Design
When it comes to combining aesthetics, safety, and New Zealand Building Code compliance, the UNEX Siena Aluminium and Glass Balustrade System continues to be a top choice for both residential and commercial projects. A recent installation in Belmont, Wellington, led by trusted UNEX fabricator Supreme Balustrades, demonstrates exactly why.
Spanning nearly 100 metres, this impressive installation includes pool fencing, walkways, stairs, and a large deck - all seamlessly tied together with the sleek, modern lines of the Siena glass balustrade. The Wellington homeowner was delighted with both the result and the professional workmanship from Supreme Balustrades.
Why Siena Was the Perfect Choice
The UNEX Siena Balustrade System is a framed glass solution that suits a wide range of applications, including:
- Residential homes and multi-unit developments
- Internal stairwells and mezzanines
- Pool fencing compliant with NZ pool safety regulations
For this Belmont property, the toughened Grade A safety glass and powder-coated aluminium posts offered the perfect mix of style and durability. The minimal framing ensures views are uninterrupted - ideal for Wellington’s elevated terrain and panoramic outlooks - while still delivering the robust fall protection.
Fabricated for Compliance, Design Flexibility, and Backed by Support
UNEX supplies the balustrade extrusions, product warranty, PS1 documentation, and full technical support, with each system custom fabricated by our authorised regional fabricator network.
In this project, Supreme Balustrades managed the site measuring, quoting, fabrication, and installation - tailoring every post and panel to suit the site’s unique requirements, including stair transitions, elevation changes, and varying fixing conditions.
The Siena system is engineered to meet New Zealand Building Code clauses B1, B2, E2, and F4, and complies with D1/AS1 clauses 6.0.8 and 6.0.9 for use as a pool barrier.
UNEX also provides extensive technical support, installation documentation, and warranties across all its systems. Architects and builders benefit from detailed specification resources including Masterspec sections, PS1 documentation, Revit files, and CAD support - all designed to streamline the consent and construction process.
