Glass balustrades are the perfect addition to a modern staircase. Available framed or frameless, and in a wide range of colours and styles, you’re guaranteed to find the perfect glass balustrade for your interior.
Glass balustrades have quickly become a staple in modern homes. Here are five great advantages of adding glass balustrades to your home or business.
1. Modern looking
The sophisticated look of glass balustrades isn’t the only great reason to buy them — but it’s certainly a big one. Combining a series of glass panels that are as sleek as they are sturdy, glass balustrades give a refined look to any space. They can instantly modernise an interior, making them a great choice for older homes that need a bit of a revamp.
Glass balustrades are typically used on staircases but can also enhance the look of a balcony or decking area. The minimalist design will enhance any space without stealing all the attention.
2. Easy to clean and maintain
Glass balustrades look great and stay looking great. All you need to keep your glass balustrades in top condition is the occasional clean using a glass cleaning product and a lint-free cloth. If you notice any minor scratches, a simple polishing should restore the glass back to its best. This is a significant advantage over metal or wood balustrades.
3. Strong and sturdy
In addition to looking great, glass balustrades perform the function of keeping people safe. The panels are made of toughened glass that won’t collapse under pressure. This makes them useful for balconies and deckings in addition to staircases.
4. Invites natural light in
One of the great benefits of glass is that it is transparent, and therefore invites natural light into a space. Unlike wood or metal balustrades, glass balustrades can make an area feel more open and bright. This is especially noticeable on a balcony.
5. Versatile
Glass balustrades suit both interior and exterior applications and can be customised in a variety of styles. Glass is neutral, meaning it will work well with any interior design, and it also complements other materials, such as wood, metal and stone.
