The Case for Installing Glass Balcony Railing

The Case for Installing Glass Balcony Railing

Glass railings are elegant and durable, perfect for both indoors and out!

Have you considered a glass railing for your balcony? If you have not, it is time to take a second look! Glass balcony railings offer a variety of benefits and options that you might not expect. They are surprisingly durable and low maintenance, as well as allowing in more light and making your balcony, no matter how small, feel bright and spacious. Able to add a modern elegance to your home or commercial buildings, keep reading to see why installing glass balcony railings is a smart option for you.

Minimal Care 

One of the greatest benefits of a glass balcony is that it does not need nearly as much care as any other type of material. Wood and metal both need to be kept clean and be painted or stained regularly to prevent the buildup of damage, rot, and rust. With a glass balcony, you will only need to give it an occasional cleaning to help make it look better. The glass and stainless steel components used to hold it together will not rust or corrode. 

Plenty Of Styles 

If your first thought was there aren’t many options for glass railings, then think again. Glass balconies offer a range of options, including frameless rails that allow for total visibility. Other styles include framed railings, modern glass (which is easier to clean), and tempered glass. Tempered glass is treated to make it even more durable, which makes it even safer than usual. It’s perfect for homes with children and pets. The versatile styles and purposes make glass railings a favorable choice for homeowners and business owners alike. 

Improved Durability 

Glass balconies can last for decades and are an excellent option for homes with fluctuating climates like we have in the mid-Atlantic region. Unlike wood and metal, which can be affected by dramatic changes in temperature and excess moisture, glass will hold up in any weather. It’s important to note that the type of glass used for balconies is more durable than the glass of your average drinking glass. In the unlikely event that it does break, it will not shatter, which ensures that its safe for all users.
