Glass Railings – What You Need To Know

Are you wondering what kind of glass railing is the best? The type of glass railing that’s right for you can depend on various factors. These can include your budget, the nature of your outdoor space and your own personal preferences. At the Yorkshire Balustrade Company, we offer glass railings in various styles, including the frameless glass balustrade, wire rope balustrade and stainless steel balustrade.

The frameless glass balustrade is made from aluminium and has a brushed anodised finish. You can have this balustrade top fixed or face-mounted. This balustrade may be for you if you require a low-maintenance solution which will not rust and is incredibly durable. You can install this channel inside or outside. The channel won’t rust and is ideal for all weather conditions.

Our wire rope balustrade delivers a contemporary look and is also easy to maintain. You can fit this kind of balustrade to all post types and materials. As this option is made from 316-grade stainless steel, it’s ideal for both internal and external projects. Our stainless steel balustrades are tough, durable and need little maintenance. They give you a secure safety barrier and offer a modern, stylish appearance. These balustrades are available in a brushed satin finish or mirror polished. If you’re located near a coastal environment, the mirror-polished finish is recommended. Stainless steel may also be a great option for you if you’re concerned about hygiene as it doesn’t absorb substances.

Is glass railing more expensive than metal?

Glass railings aren’t necessarily more expensive than metal. This is because glass railing systems can vary in terms of construction and appearance. Many people have been able to save money on glass railing systems, spending much less than they expected to.

What is the difference between laminated glass and tempered glass?

One of the main differences between laminated glass and tempered glass is that they break differently. Tempered glass will break into smaller pieces, whilst laminated glass will crack but keep together thanks to the plastic layer which has been baked between the two layers of glass used to create it. Tempered glass is a finalised product. Once the glass has been tempered, it can’t be altered. Tempered glass comes with a host of benefits. This kind of glass becomes incredibly strong once the tempering process has taken place, which means it’s much harder to break. Laminated glass is two pieces of glass which are separated by a sheet of plastic interlayer. It is possible for laminated glass to be cut and fabricated.
