Glass Balustrades are used as railings in stairways, balconies, patios, and pool fences. More modern homes now use glass balustrades for style and function because these appear sleek and sophisticated while allowing an unobstructed view between spaces.
Glass balustrades are safe to use as most manufacturers now use new technology to create them to comply with relevant building code standards. Glass balustrades are often used as substitutes for wood and metal balustrades.
Where you can use glass balustrades
Stairway
Glass balustrades make excellent railings to surround the staircase of your home. Their sleek and simple design can complement many interior designs like the modern and minimalist styles. Make your stairway the focal point of your home by installing glass balustrades to give your stairs a floating effect. For added safety and convenience, you may also ask the balustrade supplier to install handrails on either or both sides of the stairs.
Balcony
Exterior glass balustrades are sturdy enough to be used as barriers in balconies to prevent accidental falls. The glass material also maximizes the view from your deck or patio, particularly when they are used on frameless or freestanding glass balustrades. Frameless glass balustrades do not rely on frames for support and are fastened to a column that is bolted to the floor.
Freestanding glass balustrades are fastened to neither a frame nor a support column - but are joined instead to each other and the ground using a colour-matched polyurethane sealant . Both frameless and freestanding glass balustrades may also be used for stairs.
Pool fence Glass materials
Glass balustrades offer pool safety without diminishing the aesthetic appeal of your pool. When used around your swimming pool, frameless glass balustrades not only blend with the surroundings but also create an illusion of unlimited space.
Glass balustrades come in several types of glass materials to suit your safety and design requirements. For exterior and safety purposes, glass balustrades using structural glass and tempered glass are ideal.
Structural glass materials are mainly used for balconies because of their thickness and strength. Tempered glass is also safe to use because it is durable and does not break into sharp shards when it fails. For interior purposes, where design and beauty is your priority, you may choose glass balustrades in textured, coloured, solid or curved glass designs.
