Do you dream of a glass railing on your stairs, balcony, or terrace? No wonder - such a solution perfectly fits in with contemporary architectural trends, and at the same time allows you to achieve an extremely aesthetic, designer effect. Check out if such a railing is a good choice and find out what glass for railings you should choose in order to have a guarantee of safety.

Is a glass railing a good choice?

There is no doubt that glass railings look very modern. Just take a look at modern skyscrapers or even apartment blocks in new housing estates - there are plenty of glass railings on balconies, as well as many other glass components. This makes the buildings appear much more spacious and the light easily passes through the glass.

However, many people wonder whether glass railings are a good choice - especially when it comes to glazing at stairs or on balconies. It is certainly worth considering the use of glass components- for reasons such as safety or the possibility of achieving an interesting effect.

Safety first

One of the most frequently asked questions concerns safety. This is not surprising - a glass balcony or high staircase can indeed raise some concerns. However, one should be aware that such glazing does not use “ordinary” glass, where a slight impact is enough to break it. Buildings use modern tempered and laminated glass, which is highly resistant to mechanical damage, as well as to temperature changes or heat build-up.
