Can Glass Balustrades add safety and security to my outside area?

Glass balustrades are a popular choice for homeowners who want to add a touch of elegance and sophistication to their property. They are also a great way to improve safety and security.

If you are thinking about installing a glass balustrade, you may be wondering how safe and secure they are.

Safety

Glass balustrades are very safe. They are made from toughened glass, which is four to five times stronger than ordinary glass. Toughened glass is also designed to break into small, harmless pieces if it does break.

In addition, glass balustrades are typically installed with a handrail. This provides an extra layer of safety.

Security

Glass balustrades can also improve security. They can act as a barrier to prevent people from climbing over or falling from a height. This is especially important for balconies and staircases.

Types of glass

There are two main types of glass used in balustrades:

• Toughened glass: Toughened glass is the most common type of glass used in balustrades. It is strong and durable.

• Laminated glass: Laminated glass is made from two or more layers of glass that are bonded together. It is even stronger than toughened glass.

Maintenance

Glass balustrades are relatively low maintenance. However, they will need to be cleaned regularly to remove dirt and grime.

Benefits

Glass balustrades offer a number of benefits, including:

• Improved safety and security

• Increased property value

• Enhanced aesthetics

• Uninterrupted views

• Low maintenance

If you are considering installing a glass balustrade, you can be confident that it will be a safe and secure addition to your home.
