When to Use Glass Railing
The first thing that we have to tackle is when it’s the right time to use a glass railing. There are a lot of different materials and styles that you can go for your railings but there are some cases when it is best to go for glass railings.
If you live in a cold or hot environment
It is recommended to use glass railings especially for exterior spaces like decks, pools or balconies. The reason behind that is because glass can be very durable in extreme weather for example in high temperatures or freezing conditions. If you use a wooden railing on the outside, you will have to put a lot of work in order to maintain their starter form because wood tends to crack and warp and lose its former colour. On the other hand, glass railings require a lot less work to maintain.
Your view should be taken advantage of
If your home or work is located in a beautiful spot or has a nice city or nature view it makes sense to go for glass railings. Your safe and protected space will be one with the surrounding view. Other railings can block all the astonishing views.
Privacy can be what you want it to be
Another strong point of glass railings is the privacy that it offers without interrupting the beautiful panoramic view. When we think about glass railings we may have a lot of questions and doubts about privacy. Actually, we at AlumiGuard MFG give you a lot of different choices from our big collection of glasses. We have different types of one-way glasses with different colours for you to choose from based on your building style.
Design versatility
Whether residential or commercial, interior or exterior, the structure of your railing or your glass railing presents a clean and modern style while offering a sense of grandeur, granting an unobstructed view. In addition to allowing more clarity, giving free rein to light, and offering an overview of a room or a landscape, glass is a stable and durable material requiring little or no maintenance, and which is free from distortion and discoloration.
In addition, whether your exterior or interior railing or guardrail is bare, with as little visible structure as possible, or enhanced with a handrail or any other element, decorative or functional, it remains a solid, resistant and safe element.
Durability
Compared to other guardrail models available on the market, the glass guardrail requires little maintenance. Unlike the wooden model which sometimes requires painting and also treatment. In addition, it has unparalleled durability. Glass railings can be installed anywhere inside or outside a building.
Glass panels are free from corrosion when they face moisture. And unlike other balustrades, the glass railing is not afraid of surface cracks. Take the case of tempered glass, it does not shatter so will negate the dangers when it is cracked.
Where to Use Glass Railing
Interior and exterior railings
The strength and safety of our interior and exterior guardrails are indeed at the center of our concerns. Vitrerie des Experts assures you of the highest quality of materials to ensure your railing has an optimal lifespan.
Also, our indoor and outdoor railings are made of tempered glass, a glass that undergoes a hardening process that makes it weatherproof typical of our GTA climate.
Glass railings for terraces
If you are in the process of choosing a railing for your patio or balcony, the glass railing should be your first choice. As you saw above, the advantages of glass balustrades make them a practical choice. There are two important points to consider when choosing a glass railing for a raised patio or balcony:
– Glass balustrades are the safest option for raised platforms. Glass has the particularity of not wearing out, deteriorating or rotting, so sturdy glass railings can be safe and reliable throughout their service life. This feature will prevent accidents and mishaps.
– Glass railings can preserve views and landscape, thus allowing uninterrupted panoramic perspectives. This is one of the main reasons why glass is suitable for balcony and patio railings.
