Glass Balustrade System

What is a tempered glass balustrade?

A balustrade is a relatively sturdy structure that acts as a barrier installed on one or both sides of a staircase, depending on the staircase structure. Balustrades are also placed at the edge of a wall under a roof or on a terrace, balcony, bridge, etc. Their main function is to prevent people from falling from where they are standing.

Unlike previous balustrades, which were often made of wood or iron, with the development of technology and the increasing demand for aesthetics and quality, today's balustrades are made of many new materials. Tempered glass balustrades use high-strength glass, providing safety and a luxurious, sophisticated feel, making them ideal for contemporary buildings.

Advantages:

• High aesthetic value with a variety of styles. Glass balustrades offer a modern and stylish look, superior to any other balustrade system used today.

• 8 times stronger than ordinary glass, with higher load-bearing capacity. Lighter than other balustrades, highly durable, extremely safe, no rotting or rust, no additional maintenance costs.

• Glass balustrades have a seamless glass surface with no large gaps or openings (except for balustrades with posts, but these are very small), preventing children or pets from climbing, sticking their limbs or heads through and getting stuck or worse, falling.

• Unlike wood or iron, which block sunlight, glass balustrades absorb and circulate light into your home, keeping the space bright and airy.

• Because the glass is transparent, even the narrowest staircases feel more spacious.

• Acts as a barrier against strong winds and heavy rain. Tempered glass balustrades will not crack when exposed to extreme temperatures or change color due to any external factors.

• With high recyclability and energy savings, glass balustrades are an environmentally friendly choice.

• To maintain the glass balustrade's new and shiny appearance, you only need a bottle of cleaning solution and a few minutes of cleaning.

Disadvantages

The glass balustrade system is one of the most modern and advanced systems on the market, with a price that is not cheap compared to conventional balustrades. You need to clean it regularly to keep the glass surface transparent and shiny. However, it's a worthwhile investment if you consider all the benefits it offers.
