Used in a variety of buildings, internally and externally. Balustrades support a variety of staircases, balconies and provide safety and security. Even though different materials are used to design a striking and functional balustrade, glass has become the most popular choice for many over the past few years.
At Eclipse Engineering, this month’s blog looks at the benefits of installing glass balustrades within your property. For more information, don’t hesitate to call us in Keighley on 01535 691 094.
Glass Won’t Block The Light
Glass Balustrades are very popular because they have the benefit of not blocking any light within the building. Glass railings also allow for light to shine through. This allows the presence of sunlight and creates a more open and airier feel inside.
We recommend installing glass balustrade in line with windows. This creates a very modern, almost elegant interior with the natural light being allowed to flow freely within your space. More traditional railings and borders will block light.
Glass Is Easy to Clean
Not only do glass balustrades look aesthetically pleasing, but they are also easy to keep clean. Any kind of commercial glass cleaning product combined with a lint free cloth is all you need to keep your balustrade clean and tidy. It only takes a few minutes.
Maintaining that brand new look is relatively easy due to the easiness of cleaning. If you end up dealing with any unwanted scratches or other damage, polishing can restore the glass to its previous condition.
Glass Is Safe and Secure
Today’s advances within technology makes it possible to make glass that is strong and safe. Thick tempered glass, which is used to make glass balustrades, very rarely breaks. It takes extreme structural pressure to break these strong balustrades.
If for some reason the tempered glass did break, the shards of glass are not sharp. This is great for any area within properties, especially in houses where children may be present.
