Is your staircase dull, dimly lit, and unattractive? Does it pull down the overall style of your space? Are you worried about your children’s or pets’ safety around your stairwell? Do you have unattractive pony walls or heavy balustrades? Glass railings may be the answer. Glass railings are a modern, stylish architectural feature suitable for any home.
What Glass Railings Offer Your Space
Glass railings are growing in popularity due to their many benefits. Glass railings:
- Open up a space: When you replace barriers (heavy banisters, pony walls, balustrades, etc.) with glass railings, you allow light to enter and create an airy, spacious feel that opens up your home.
- Let in natural light: Many homes have limited windows (semi-detached homes, row houses, townhouses, etc.). Installing glass railings on balconies/terraces, in place of pony walls, and on staircases allows natural light to penetrate your space. Natural light improves sleep, elevates mood, increases productivity, and promotes mental acuity.
- Save energy: Glass railings allow you to harness natural light, saving energy on lighting. Is sun exposure too extreme for you? Try frosted glass railings, reducing glare while harvesting sunlight.
- Enhance aesthetics: Glass stairwell railings have a modern, minimalist feel that satisfies building codes while providing a sleek appearance.
- Can be customized: Want a bespoke look for your staircase, banister, balustrade, or pony wall? Glass railings come in a variety of finishes (tempered, laminated, frosted, tinted, coloured, etc.), can be framed or frameless, and may be finished with a wide selection of brackets and supports.
- Complement other home features: Glass railings pair well with wood, bricks, concrete, stone, or metal accents (silver, brass, etc.), making them perfect for any home style.
- Add a modern touch: Modernize your home with a sleek glass railing. Worried about compromising the traditional or historic elements of your space? Use glass railings to draw attention to these features. Glass railings allow an easy view of plank floors, art pieces, exposed brick, chandeliers, unique beams, crown molding, and antique furniture. Let your showstopping pieces/elements shine!
- Provide safety and style: Do you have kids, pets, or grandchildren? Glass railings provide style and safety. You can have an open concept and a sturdy barrier.
- Are easy to maintain: Glass railings are resistant to rot, corrosion, and decay, making them durable and requiring little upkeep.
- Are versatile: Glass railings adapt to any style of decor and are suitable for a variety of applications.
