We install across Newport and the surrounding area. Frameless shower screens, glass balustrades, pool fencing & colorbond fencing — fixed quotes, lifetime workmanship warranty, AS/NZS 2208 certified glass.
Newport sits between the beach and Pittwater, and the housing splits the same way — surf-side homes and waterfront properties with decks chasing a view. That makes frameless glass balustrades and glass pool fencing the lead work, both exposed to genuine coastal salt load. We spec marine-grade 316 stainless spigots and hardware as standard on the Northern Beaches; standard fittings simply don't last this close to the water. Frameless shower screens follow the beach-house bathroom renovations, often with low-iron glass to keep the look clean and bright.

Real engineering questions specific to Newport's housing stock and coastal salt + wind exposure.
Marine-grade 316 stainless steel hardware carries the manufacturer's warranty against pitting and corrosion, typically 10 years. We use 316 stainless for all hinges, brackets, spigots, and fixings on Northern Beaches installs — this is our standard, not an upgrade. Standard 304 stainless will pit within 3-5 years at coastal proximity; 316 holds for the full warranty period. We don't surcharge for 316 on Northern Beaches jobs because at this proximity it's the right spec.
Ocean-facing exposure on Northern Beaches headlands (Avalon, Whale Beach, Long Reef) sits in the highest wind-loading category for residential glass — typically Region A2 with terrain category 2 per AS 1170.1. We engineer with 12mm low-iron toughened glass minimum, with structural-engineer certification on every install. Under-spec'd 10mm cracks within 2 years of cliff-edge weather. The certification documentation is included in the quote.
Northern Beaches Federation homes (especially Manly, Avalon, Newport heritage streetscapes) sit within heritage controls for visible boundary work — fencing, balustrades, gates. Internal installs (shower screens) typically don't trigger heritage review. We confirm heritage status at first contact and include any heritage-application fee + timeline in the quote up-front.
Yes, meaningfully different. Pittwater-side homes (Newport, Bayview, Avalon-west) get sheltered conditions — gentler wind-load, less direct salt exposure. Ocean-facing homes (Avalon-east, Whale Beach) get full exposure. We quote them differently because the engineering genuinely differs. Pittwater-side balustrades can use 10mm glass with standard hardware; ocean-side gets 12mm + 316 marine throughout.

“Got these guys to do a challenging shower screen in a small space — completely blew me away with the result. Love it. Highly recommend.”
“We organised our shower screen installation back in November 2025 through Christine. At the time there were no French screens available, but the team made it work and the result is excellent.”
“Trusty and strong — recommend.”
