Glass railings can be curved to make a really interesting architectural piece as seen here!
Want to install a railing system to your home, but make it much more visually appealing than standard wood? Consider tempered glass railings instead! Glass railings add a touch of elegance to any home without breaking the bank. They have a more modern look than iron railings and are just as safe. Here is a list of why you should consider adding glass railings to your home for a touch of class.
They Clean Up Super Easy
One great thing about glass railings is that they are so easy to clean and take care of. You’ll clean your glass railings similar to how you would clean a mirror or a window; all it takes is some window or glass cleaner spray and a paper towel. If it’s just dealing with some fingerprints, all you’ll need is some simple soap and water. Even a microfiber glass cleaning rag can deal with spot cleaning glass railings.
They Are Kid and Pet Proof
Whether your a parent to a human or animal, we all want what’s best for our children, and keeping them out of potential harm’s way is important. Kids and pets love to play and sneak around, but sometimes they can inadvertently put themselves in danger. Glass railings, unlike wooden railings or iron railings, do not contain any gaps which kids and pets alike will like to poke their heads through. This will help eliminate the possibility of scary situations like stuck kids or falling pets.
Glass Railings are Inside and Out
One great upside to glass railings is that they can be used indoors and outdoors. You won’t have to worry about eventual corrosion or rotting like with wooden railings or rusting with iron or metal railings. Glass is weatherproof and very strong. Plus, glass railings can act as a wall if needed, which can help keep out those nuisance windy outdoor drafts from your porch or patio area.
They Are Customizable
One of the best attributes of glass railings is that they can let in a lot of light into a room with little shadowing. Some homeowners love the refracted look of the light and how it can quickly illuminate the room at certain angles. Other homeowners would rather not deal with a lot of light coming through. But that’s perfectly fine because glass railings are fully customizable. There are several finishes a glass railing can have. One of those finishes is frosted, which adds a layer of blur to the glass railing to diffuse the light.
