Sleek, Safe, and Stylish: Debunking Glass Balustrade Myths
Q: "Glass balustrades look great, but aren't they fragile?"
A: This is the most common misconception we hear. The truth is, modern glass balustrades are engineered for extreme durability and safety. We use toughened and laminated safety glass, which is several times stronger than standard glass. In the unlikely event of a break, it shatters into small, blunt pieces or is held in place by a strong interlayer, preventing dangerous shards. Our products meet or exceed all UK building regulations, providing a robust and secure barrier.
Q: "Won't a glass balustrade be a pain to keep clean?"
A: Think again! Glass is one of the easiest materials to maintain. Unlike wood that needs regular staining or metal that can rust, a glass balustrade simply requires a quick wipe-down to look as good as new. The smooth surface doesn't collect dust and grime the way other materials do, making it a surprisingly low-maintenance choice for both interior and exterior use.
Q: "I thought they were only for modern, minimalist homes?"
A: While glass balustrades are a staple of contemporary design, their versatility is a key selling point. The transparency of glass complements any style, from a rustic cottage to a classic Victorian townhouse. By reflecting light and opening up the space, they enhance the existing features of your home rather than clashing with them. We can also customise our designs to seamlessly blend with your unique decor.
