Wanting to open the surf club to become more of a functional space to operate as a communal area to host a variety of events, Waihi Surf club needed the most robust solution to protect any attendees, but preserve their ocean views.

UNEX was employed to install the 3000 Series of balustrade with panels of toughened glass to keep the vista that is afforded to the club being located right on the dunes.

By enclosing and protecting this outdoor space, they are now able to comfortably host functions which give their members and their families the chance to gather outside on when the weather is on their side. Just one of the many instances where UNEX Extreme Barriers are ideally suited to help with protecting areas where crowds of people may gather.

Some quick and easy tips to be thinking about with your balustrades.

Maintenance
Be sure to have a look at the fixings where the balustrades connect to the house, balcony, deck, or walkway when you around the house out in the garden to be sure there are no apparant issues.
Surface Finish
Powdercoating and anodizing are incredibly durable costings or treatments. Be sure to look this over for areas of fading or nicks so they can be repaired, if possible, or replaced if starting to wear or is damaged.
Care and Protection
Protect the balustrades at all times from contact with:
• Wet cement or plaster, paint splashes, chemicals, solvents, stains and
fertilisers. If contact does occur, remove the contaminant immediately
and wash as described below.
• Copper, brass, lead, mild steel, CCA treated timber, cement or concrete less than 1 month old, and water which has contacted any of these substances.
Cleaning
We recommend balustrade and its fixing points be cleaned down at least every six months. In areas where pollutants are common such as industrial or geothermal areas, and for all sites within 1 km from the sea cleaning should be carried out more frequently as required, but not less than every three months
