Some fences are there to hide something. A glass fence is there to hide nothing — while still keeping you safe. It’s the detail that makes a terrace look like it stepped out of a catalogue: you sit down, and in front of you is an uninterrupted view of the yard, the garden or the panorama, with no bars or rails slicing up the picture. Glass protects, yet pretends it isn’t there — and that’s exactly its charm.

At Alu kramil we make glass fences in combination with aluminium supports and handrails — because aluminium gives a firm, slim, elegant structure that doesn’t rust, while glass gives that clean, “expensive” look. It’s the solution for those who were looking for something special among aluminium fences: fewer barriers, more space and more light.

Why people choose glass

The first and most obvious reason is the view. If you have a lovely yard, a garden, a pool or a panorama, it would be a shame to slice through them with a dense fence. Glass lets the view flow, so even a small space feels larger and more open. On a terrace or around a pool, that’s the difference between “fenced in” and “luxurious”.

The second reason is light. A glass fence casts no shadow and doesn’t close a space off, so the terrace stays bright and the interior behind it lighter. For flats and houses facing the sun, that can be decisive. The third reason is a look with no expiry date — glass and aluminium are materials that never go out of style; what looks modern today will look modern in ten years too.

And then there’s the fourth, practical reason people only come to love once they have the fence: it’s easy to maintain. There are no bars for dust and cobwebs to collect on — you wipe the glass like a window, give the aluminium an occasional clean, and that’s it. No rust, no painting, no fuss. If privacy matters more to you than the view, we’ll honestly steer you towards panel fences or denser infill — but if you want space and light, glass is hard to beat.

Safety — glass that doesn’t play around

When someone hears “glass fence”, the first thought is: but is it safe? A perfectly fair question, and the answer is yes — when it’s done properly. There’s no room for improvisation here: we use toughened (safety) glass, which is many times stronger than ordinary glass and which, in the unlikely event of breakage, doesn’t shatter into sharp shards. We choose the thickness of the glass and the method of clamping according to the height and purpose of the fence, because a fence on an upper-floor terrace and a screen around a pool don’t have the same requirements.

The aluminium supports and handrail play a key role here. They hold the glass firmly and securely, yet are slim enough not to spoil the clean look. The quality of the fittings, the way it’s mounted to the base and the precision of the clamping are what separate a serious glass fence from one that “rattles” and feels unsafe. We don’t take those elements for granted — because a glass fence has to be as safe as it is beautiful, especially where there are children.

Safety doesn’t come at the expense of good looks — quite the opposite. A well-made glass fence looks light and airy precisely because the structure is precise and minimal. When everything is measured and mounted accurately, the glass seems to float, and you don’t think about safety — you simply trust it.

Where a glass fence sits best

It shows at its best wherever there’s something worth seeing. Terraces and balconies are the classic — glass protects here without closing things off, so even a small balcony feels more open. Around a pool it’s an almost ideal solution, because it protects and at the same time doesn’t spoil the picture of the water and the surroundings. On staircases, combined with an aluminium railing, it gives a modern, airy look of the kind you see in contemporary homes and commercial spaces.

More and more, we also use glass in combination with other types of fence: glass on the side facing a lovely view, and more discreet infill where privacy is needed. We make such solutions to measure, because every house has its own “finest shot” worth leaving open.

If you’re building or renovating a property of contemporary architecture, a glass fence is almost the natural choice — it supports the clean lines and minimalism in demand today. And if you’re not sure whether full glass or framed glass suits you better, that’s exactly the conversation we have on site, with samples and concrete suggestions for your space.

Glass takes on a special charm in the evening. When the lighting comes on across the terrace or in the garden, light passes through the glass and creates an effect no solid fence can achieve — the space feels warm, airy and a little like an interior magazine. Many clients tell us it’s only then, on the first summer evenings, that they fully understand why they chose glass. It’s the detail you can’t “sell” on paper, but which everyone feels the moment they see it in person.

How we work, and what you get with it

A glass fence demands precision, so we run the process carefully from the very first step. We come out to the site free of charge, measure to the millimetre and advise you on the type of glass, the height and the kind of support. Accurate measurements are especially important here — glass isn’t “adjusted” on site, it has to be exact.

Once you confirm, we prepare everything to your measurements and install carefully, checking every clamp and handrail. We leave behind a clean site and a fence we’ve personally tried. It all comes with a 20-year factory warranty and experience since 2003. We work across Serbia — Belgrade, Novi Sad, Niš, Kragujevac, Subotica, Čačak and other cities.

Types of glass and how we choose the right one for you

When we say “glass fence”, it isn’t one single thing — there are several types of glass, and choosing the right one is what separates a fence that looks and holds up perfectly from one that disappoints. That’s why we never leave this step to chance; instead we explain the options in language that makes sense.

The foundation is toughened (safety) glass. It’s heat-treated to be many times stronger than ordinary glass and, in the unlikely event of breakage, to fall apart into small, blunt pieces rather than sharp shards. For fences on an upper floor, around a pool and anywhere there are children, this is the standard we won’t go below. Where safety requirements are highest, we also use laminated glass — two layers bonded by a film that holds the pieces in place even if the glass cracks.

Then there’s the question of transparency. If you want a clean, unbroken view, clear glass is the way to go. If you also need a little privacy — on a balcony facing a neighbour, for example — we choose frosted (sandblasted) glass, which lets the light through while blocking the view. There are also tinted versions that go nicely with dark joinery and contemporary façades.

Finally, we choose how the glass is held: with visible aluminium posts and a handrail, or a “cleaner” solution with the glass discreetly clamped into a profile. The first is more practical and more affordable, the second looks minimalist and “more expensive”. Neither is universally better — better is the one that suits your space and budget, and that’s exactly what we choose together on site, with samples you can see and touch.

How much does a glass fence cost

The price of a glass fence depends on length, height, and the thickness and type of glass, as well as on the kind of aluminium supports and handrail. A full-glass solution with no visible posts isn’t the same job as glass in a frame, so the price differs too. That’s why we don’t serve up a flat figure — we give an accurate quote for your particular case.

What you always get is honest advice: where it makes sense to invest (safety glass, quality fittings) and where you can be more economical without losing anything in looks or safety. Our aim is a fence you’ll be proud of and show off to guests — because it’s exactly that recommendation that brings us the next job.

Frequently asked questions

Is a glass fence safe?
It is — we use toughened (safety) glass, which is considerably stronger than ordinary glass and doesn’t shatter into sharp shards. We choose the thickness and the clamping method according to the height and purpose.

Does the glass break easily?
Toughened glass is highly resistant to impact. With proper installation and quality aluminium supports, a glass fence is exceptionally stable and safe.

How hard is it to maintain?
Very easy — you wipe the glass like a window and give the aluminium an occasional clean. No rust, no painting and no dust collecting the way it does on barred fences.

Where are glass fences used most?
On terraces, balconies, around pools and on staircases — anywhere you want a view, light and a modern look.

Can I get glass with no visible posts?
We can do both — solutions with a minimal, “invisible” structure and solutions with posts. It depends on the look you want and the conditions on site.

Does glass cause a privacy problem?
Clear glass doesn’t block the view — if you need privacy, we choose frosted/sandblasted glass or a combination with a panel fence.

What heights are possible?
We work to measure, tailored to the purpose and regulations (especially on upper floors and around pools). We agree it all on site.

Can glass be combined with a railing?
Yes, and it’s very much in demand — glass with an aluminium railing gives a modern, airy look on staircases and terraces.

How long do manufacturing and installation take?
Usually two to four weeks from confirmed measurements, since the glass has to be prepared precisely. You get the exact deadline with the quote.
