Outdoor Entertaining: The Advantages of Glass Railings for Decks and Patios

A frameless glass railing is used to create an aesthetically pleasing and functional protective barrier for the outdoor staircase.

Spring is here! The snow is gone, early flowers are peeping through, and the trees are resplendent. It’s time to dust off your deck and patio and plan outdoor events where family and friends gather for drinks, food, and conversation. Fire up the grill! Play some backyard games. Relax in the sun on a comfortable chaise longue. Glass railings can enhance these gatherings. 

Glass Railings

Glass railings are balustrades or guardrails with durable tempered or laminated glass panels. They may be framed (with wood or metal) or frameless. They’re designed for safety and unobstructed views. Structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing, glass railings are eco-friendly and last for years! Use them to create a functional and beautiful protective barrier for your patio, deck, pool, and outdoor staircase. 

The Advantages of Glass Railings for Patios and Decks

There are many benefits of glass railings in outdoor settings.

  • Unobstructed views: Want to feel connected to nature? A glass railing provides unobstructed sightlines, enabling the enjoyment of your natural surroundings. Let the view take center stage. Create an airy, open feel on your deck or patio with frameless glass railings.
  • Enhanced style: A glass railing improves the aesthetics of your outdoor area, bringing a contemporary, sophisticated look to your backyard. Use it to give your patio, deck, or balcony a sleek, renewed feel. Let a glass railing create compatibility with your setting and harmonize your deck with nearby wood, stone, or metal features.
  • The feeling of space: A glass railing is unobtrusive, fostering a sense of space and openness. It visually expands the area, admitting light and boosting your home’s design.
  • Wind protection: A glass railing allows you to spend quality time on your patio or deck while acting as a barrier to high winds. Peacefully enjoy a hot or cold beverage outdoors with the help of a glass railing system.
  • Sound dampening: Make your backyard a private sanctuary, perfect for uninterrupted conversation and relaxation. Reduce the sounds of traffic and the neighbours with a glass railing.  
  • Weather resistance and durability: A glass railing is resistant to rust, decay, and rot, able to withstand the wear and tear of Canada’s extreme and constantly changing weather. No more sanding and staining deck railings. A glass railing system requires little maintenance and lasts for up to 25 years!
