Beyond Beauty: Why Safety and Certification Matter for Your Glass Balustrade

When you choose a glass balustrade, you're not just investing in style; you're investing in the safety of your home, family, and guests. While the aesthetic appeal of seamless glass is undeniable, the most critical factor is the structural integrity and certification of the materials.

At Stileglass, we ensure that our DIY kits meet, and often exceed, the stringent safety requirements for both internal and external applications.

Understanding Safety Glass

We exclusively use toughened safety glass or laminated glass in all our systems.

• Toughened Glass: This glass is heated and rapidly cooled, making it four to five times stronger than standard glass. If it ever breaks, it shatters into small, blunt cubes rather than dangerous shards.

• Laminated Glass: This is two panes of glass bonded together by a plastic interlayer (PVB). If the glass is broken, the fragments remain adhered to the interlayer, staying safely in place. This is required for frameless systems where the glass itself is the primary barrier.

The Importance of Certified Components

Every component, from the glass panels to the stainless steel posts and fixings, is sourced to the highest standards. This ensures that when installed correctly, your balustrade provides a reliable, secure barrier that is fully compliant with Iocal building regulations.

Don't compromise safety for savings. Invest in a certified kit that offers both style and complete peace of mind.
