Glass Balustrade Clamps, Panels, And Fixings
Stairs are common features of many multi-level houses. Because of their function, stairs are designed and built with safety in mind. Balustrades and hand rails are essential safety measures in every staircase. You can choose from a variety of materials when building your balustrade but glass balustrades have grown in popularity over the past years.
Aside from their use in staircases, glass balustrades are also used as barriers in balconies, terraces, and even in pools. There are different glass balustrade systems you can choose from such as frameless glass balustrade, semi-frameless glass balustrade, or framed glass balustrade.
No matter what glass balustrade design you may choose, it will have glass balustrade clamps, glass panels, and glass balustrade fixings. The discussion below will help you understand each of these parts better.
- Glass Balustrade Panels. The biggest parts of glass balustrades are the glass panels. Toughened glass is used for these glass panels to ensure their strength and durability. Putting toughened glass will help the balustrade withstand extreme pressure which is a must for its function. However, since holes cannot be drilled into toughened glass without the glass breaking into small pieces, you have to decide on your glass balustrade fittings and overall glass balustrade design before ordering your glass panels. You can also choose from different glass designs such as etched, frosted, textured, and many more.
- Glass Balustrade Clamps. The glass panels are held together by glass balustrade clamps. These are often used to attach one glass panel to another, to a wall, to the floor, or to a pole. Many people prefer stainless steel clamps because they are easy to clean and resistant to corrosion.
- Glass Balustrade Fixings. There are several types of glass balustrade fixings that you can use. Also sometimes called glass balustrade fittings, these include brackets, posts, mounts, clamps, and handrails. Although stainless steel is a popular choice for glass balustrade fixings, zinc alloy is also sometimes used by those who prefer a more affordable alternative. You can also choose to skip the glass balustrade fixings and instead, attach the bottom of the glass panels to a grouted channel on the floor.
