Glass Balustrates/Railing.
Glass railings are a popular architectural feature used in both residential and commercial buildings. They provide a sleek, modern aesthetic while maintaining functionality and safety. Here are some key aspects of glass railings:
​
-
Glass Panels:
-
Tempered Glass: Stronger and safer than regular glass; it shatters into small, blunt pieces if broken.
-
Laminated Glass: Consists of two or more layers of glass with an interlayer that holds the layers together if shattered, enhancing safety and durability.
Balustrades:
-
Material Options: Common materials include stainless steel, aluminum.
-
Each material offers a different aesthetic and level of maintenance.
-
Style Variations: Balustrades can range from modern, minimalist designs with thin metal supports to more ornate, traditional styles with decorative elements.
Handrails:
-
Top Mounted: Attached directly to the top edge of the glass panels.
-
Side Mounted: Fixed to the side of the panels or balustrades, allowing for a cleaner top edge on the glass.
Mounting Options:
-
Standoff Pins: Provide a sleek, floating appearance by securing the glass panels at a distance from the surface.
-
Clamps: Secure the glass panels at various points, offering both support and a design element.
-
Channel Systems: Glass panels are set into a metal channel that can be recessed into the floor or mounted on the surface.
