Summer is the best time of the year to get started on home remodeling projects and additions. Glass railing is a great way to enhance your property’s value and add a stylish finish to decks, balconies, porches and patios. Many homeowners choose glass railings for their elegance and sophistication, but they’re also incredibly low-maintenance. Here are a few reasons why you might want to consider a glass railing system for your home.
Deck and Patio Railings
Glass railings are an incredibly practical option for decks and balconies. They require very little maintenance — just the occasional cleaning — and can last for years. Unlike wood or steel, you can rely on a glass railing system not to deteriorate or wear out over time. Glass railings are also very safe for raised platforms, and they don’t interrupt your home’s view like other railing and fencing options.
Framed Glass Railings
The most common type of glass railing is framed. Framed glass railings combine luxury with safety. They feature clear glass panels that are held together by a frame. The frame can be made of metal, typically aluminum. Framed glass railings have the advantage of being able to secure to any surface, whether it’s a wood deck or concrete patio. They’re also frequently used around pools, providing safety and a clear view of the water.
Frameless Glass Railings
Frameless glass railings are the best option when it comes to preserving a stunning view. These railing systems are, as you might suspect, borderless. These ‘naked’ glass panels allow for an unimpeded view of your landscape, making them perfect for balconies, decks, and rooftop terraces. A custom frameless system will ensure safety for your property, but also add timeless style and elegance.
