Glass railings are a modern and sustainable solution for both new construction and renovation of old buildings. In recent years, many construction and architectural firms have focused on glass railings.
No wonder glass systems fit perfectly into almost any design, are safe to use, and are environmentally friendly.

The decision to use glass railings for your project can be crucial, especially if you have decided to sell the property in the future. Glass railings increase the value of the property and can help you achieve a unique design that will cause a “wow” effect in each visitor.

Here are 5 important things that are useful to know about glass railings.

1. Glass railings are a strong and safe solution.

Glass railings can be used for homes and offices, as well as for public places with high traffic. When you do not compromise on the railing system and the quality of installation, you can be sure that the glass railing will be a strong and durable option.
The choice of the right railing system and the quality of its installation are key factors for the strength and security of the railing. You do not have to compromise with either of the two.
If you have chosen a budget option for the railing profile, you cannot expect very good strength no matter how good the installation is – with more pressure the profile will bend and a dangerous situation can occur. The same is true from the other side, if the profile for the glass railing is of good quality, but the installation is not performed well – then the security of the railing will be compromised.

2. Safe option for people with children and pets.

An important advantage of glass railings over many other types of railings is the safety they offer when it comes to young children and pets. Very often with purely aluminum, wood, and iron railings there are long distances in the railing itself. These distances pose a potential danger to children and pets, who can easily stick one of their limbs, or in more extreme cases, when the distances are greater – they may fall while crawling through the railing.
In glass railings, the glass panels are mounted very close to each other, thus eliminating the possibility of a child or pet being injured. In addition, you do not obscure their view and they can easily see outside through the glass.

3. Increase natural light.

With glass railings, you can significantly increase the amount of natural light that penetrates the building or room. As the glass transmits light, glass railings are a suitable solution for both exterior and interior railings.
Glass railings on the balcony or terrace are a great option to have more natural light in the rooms behind them. And with glass railings in the office, you can significantly reduce the need to use artificial light.
Of course, glass railings also offer an option with tinted and highly reflective glass, for those of you who want more privacy.

4. They block the wind.

Among the many advantages of glass railing systems is that they block the wind. Glass railings can withstand winds over 120 km / h. This makes them a good choice for sites that are located in windy areas such as coastal or mountainous.
You can enjoy the environment comfortably sitting behind the glass panels, which will not only block the wind but also protect you from small debris and debris that it carries with it.

5. They reduce the noice.

Since in most cases glass railings use tempered laminated glass (or so-called – tempered triplex), they also have the ability to reduce noise coming from outside.
Laminated glass is obtained by gluing 2 or more glass panels with a special layer of PVB. PVB layers provide good acoustic attenuation by stopping some of the sound waves.
This partial noise reduction can be a great advantage if your site is close to busy intersections or places with heavy traffic.

Those were are 5 important things for glass railings. The advantages of glass railings over other types of railings are many.
Glass railings allow you to achieve a modern and clean design. With them, you save the view instead of blocking it with traditional metal or concrete railing.
