How To Choose A Glass Balustrade
A
can provide a stunning accent in both interior and exterior locations. Whether you use it to provide a safety barrier between the edge of stairs or a pathway and a drop, or use a balustrade to delineate specific parts of your home or garden, the right type of glass barrier can have a practical purpose as well as look absolutely amazing.
If you’re planning to incorporate a balustrade into your décor, here are four considerations to take note of in order to maximise the chances of acquiring a balustrade that’s exactly right for your needs:
#1 Consider the dimensions of your balustrade: different styles lend themselves to different shapes and contours when it comes to the perfect balustrade. What may be appropriate for a stairwell may not work so well on a level surface. Your glass installer can advise on which option will work best for your property.
#2 Decide on the type of glass you want. Almost invariably, balustrade glass will be toughened and laminated in order to provide a strong protective barrier. That doesn’t mean it needs to look utilitarian. Techniques such as acid etching can transform your glass into something that looks amazing.
#3 Get the right fixings. Fixings aren’t just a way of making sure your glass is secure, they can also form a key part of the end look of your installation, as well as alert people to the fact that glass is present. Glass clamps are the most common fixing for balustrades.
#4 Have you thought about a frameless system? Frameless balustrades, as the name suggests, are made from toughened glass that is capable of standing alone, rather than being mounted within a frame. Ideal for contemporary installations, it adds an air of appealing minimalist chic to your balustrade choice.
