Glass railings components

We are going to learn more about each one of the components that are used to make a glass rail. There are 4 main components:

Glass 

The most important and eye-catching thing in the glass railings is the glass itself. We have different glass types for different purposes like the tempered glass that is used mainly on frameless glass railings because it is stronger to provide more support to lean on it while taking the stairs or just enjoying the view on your balcony. If you live in a noisy neighborhood we have got the solution for you with our railing with soundproof glass, leave the stress behind, and just relax. If you love privacy while reading your favourite book and having your morning coffee on your balcony you can choose the one-way see-through glass.

Steel Frame

The steel frame is one of the best frames that is used for railings. Steel framed glass railings are more suitable because that puts less weight on the glass and the opportunity for glass to break decreases a lot. Steel frames are perfect for surroundings, pools, balconies or even for the interior of a house because it looks nice with so many interior styles. 

Iron Frame

The iron frame is also a good choice to consider while building or renovating your house or other buildings. Iron framed glasses are perfect for brick building and it gives them a bolder look. You may choose between different colours, just let your imagination flow.

Panel Connectors

Panel connectors are also an important part of a glass railing. They can make them much sturdier and reliable. You can choose between a lot of different options and colours. Also adding metal connectors between edges can give more support and strength to your glass railings that you want to install.

Variation Importance

Frameless

Another great thing about glass railings is that you have many choices without frames at all. The frameless glass railings are the finest and the most popular design. With the frameless railings, you will be able to enjoy the view without any obstruction in your view. Additionally, frameless railings are great in the summertime because you do not have to worry about the hot metal railing frame. Also, after installing frameless railings you do not have to worry about the risk of rust or weathering of metal frames.

Here are the top 5 reasons we love to install glass railings:

• Unobstructed view. If you have a wonderful view it’s a shame not to be able to see it all the time you are on your deck or in your pool. With the glass railings, you will have the illusion of no barriers between you and that wonderful view before you.
• Easy Maintenance. In comparison to the traditional wood railings that require ongoing maintenance, repair and a lot of products, glass railings do not require any of that. You just have to clean it with a sponge and soap.
• Safety. The glass that we use is made of tempered glass which is strong and you do not have to worry about breakage. Your children or pets will not try to climb over the railings to see the view but can enjoy it behind the protective glass. 
• Available Options. At Alumiguard MFG you have a wide range of choices you can make and choose from all the tinted glass colours for the vinyl components. You can choose them even by the colours of your walls.
• They Have a Nice Appearance. Glass railings will always be a sophisticated and beautiful thing that you can do so your house can be more beautiful. Also, good glass railing work can increase your house value.

Fun Perks to Glass Railings in Your Home

• Visibility. The most obvious of the perks that glass offers is visibility. Glass railings are perfect for inside of homes especially in houses that have a lofted second floor. Glass railings provide more light if you are taking stairs at night. 
• Decals and Decorating. The glass railings are great if you want to personalize even more. You can take a day to play with your kids and decorate the glass after the seasons, for example in winter or holidays you can put different plastic decals or little snowflakes of paper that your kids made. Because you can easily wash the glass you can paint on it and not worry that you are ruining it.
• Display Things. After the install of glass railings, you can display your kid’s artwork or photos as if you were in one of those famous medieval museums. You can turn your glass into a picture frame and by adding some other picture you can make a beautiful collage that everyone would love. Another nice idea in your indoor stairs that have glass railing is to put one photo fore every year that you lived in that house on each step till you complete all the stairs and start over again.
