The Aesthetic Appeal of Glass Railings
The unobtrusive nature of glass railings offers a subtle, subdued, timeless look that blends with many styles, complementing modern minimalist to country rustic design. They’re available in tints, frosted finishes, and etched patterns to meet all design requirements. These sleek, elegant banisters eliminate visual barriers, creating the illusion of space while allowing natural light to flow freely. Whether you overlook water, a city skyline, a park, or your backyard, glass railings allow for an unobstructed view.
The Safety and Strength of Glass Railings
Glass railings are strong and durable. Choose the level of safety by adjusting the type and thickness of glass, the height of the railing, and the type of top/handrail. With no gaps or moving parts, glass railings do not crack due to extreme temperatures, corrode with exposure to water, or change colour when exposed to the sun. They don’t warp and are not susceptible to rot. Made from glass with high tensile strength and shatter protection, glass railings offer safety in all situations. They protect against accidental falls and wind while withstanding extreme weather. They’ll look great for a long time!
