Topic: Glass Balustrades
If you're looking for a new balustrading system for either inside or outside your home, one choice is to use glass balustrades. Not only are they incredibly attractive, they have a whole host of other benefits. Read on to learn more.
What are Glass Balustrades?
A glass balustrade is a type of balustrading material that provides a safety barrier of some sort or is used as fencing. Glass balustrades can be fully framed, semi-frameless or fully frameless and they can be made of different types of glass, such as tempered glass, safety glass, structural glass, and glass that comes in textured, solid, curved, or opaque designs.
Using Glass Balustrades in the Home
Glass balustrades are incredibly versatile and can be used anywhere in the home where you would use a traditional balustrade or railing system. Use glass balustrades in the following places:
Why Glass Balustrades are a Great Option
Glass balustrades are a great option for a number of reasons. Perhaps the primary one, and the main reason why they are so popular, is because they are so see through, which means that when they are installed, your views are not lost at all. This is important to people, as people like to be able to see their surroundings, whether that’s their garden, their pool or entertaining area, or the views of the beaches, forests or mountains beyond. They are also incredibly versatile design wise, as they are available in so many different framing and fixing options, and in different colours and textures. You can use glass balustrades in any style home, not just modern or contemporary.
As well as being incredibly attractive, glass balustrades are also very safe. This is because they are made using thick, tempered safety glass, which is very difficult to break. In the extremely rare occasion that it does break, it does not break into sharp shards. Their safety and durability makes them absolutely ideal for areas where children will be, and means that they can stand up to just about any conditions.
Glass balustrades are also low maintenance and durable, as the posts or fittings that hold the glass panels in place are made from materials that won’t corrode, such as marine grade stainless steel or powder coated aluminium. All you need to do is to clean the balustrade occasionally using a mild detergent.
