There are a few types of balustrade that you can opt for, with each type boasting its own set of pros and cons. Here we\u2019re going to cover the benefits of glass balustrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Glass Is Easy to Clean and Maintain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With the aid of any commercial glass cleaning product and a clean piece of cloth, you can have your glass balustrade looking spotless and lustrous with only a few wipes. And even if the glass gets lightly scratched, you can always polish it and have it looking great again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also worth pointing out that glass balustrading<\/a> doesn’t require as much care, or as many repairs as other types of balustrading. You never have to worry about glass getting discolored. You don\u2019t have to apply new paint every couple of years to keep it looking unblemished. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Glass Doesn\u2019t Block Light or Vision<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unlike other types of balustrading, a glass balustrade won\u2019t obstruct the presence of light. In fact, it will enhance it. Glass balustrades allow natural light to flow freely within the space, which does a brilliant job of creating a more open feel inside and outside your home, rather than a feeling of confinement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further, if you\u2019re planning on utilizing glass balustrading in your balcony, you don\u2019t have to worry about it blocking out your vision of what\u2019s going on around you, which also boosts the feeling of openness, whereas other materials can significantly obstruct your vew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Glass Is More Durable Than You Think<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A common misconception about glass is that it\u2019s delicate and easy to break, and it\u2019s easy to see where that\u2019s coming from, but laminated or tempered glass is tougher than you think. Unlike metal and wood, the durability of glass is almost constant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wood is prone to infestation and can be rendered useless within a few years, and metals are prone to corrosion if not covered with high-quality rust-resistant paint. With a glass balustrade, you don\u2019t have to worry about degradation over the years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Glass Provides Modern Sophistication\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re going for modern home design, a glass balustrade will offer you a flare of sophistication that will integrate well with the design of your home. Also, the transparent nature of glass will be very beneficial when it comes to keeping every integral component of your design visible. Glass by its very nature will integrate well into practically any design.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

5. Glass Can Create the Illusion of Space<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your balustrade is made from glass, you\u2019ll enjoy the illusion of more space within your property. This effect can\u2019t be replicated by other types of material. If you invest in a glass balustrade for your staircase, for example, the whole area that\u2019s connected to it, will open up and look striking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Glass Increases Safety and Security\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Other types of balustrade tend to have gaps in between their railings, which can be quite a risk to inquisitive children. These gaps don\u2019t exist with glass balustrade, so you don\u2019t have to worry about your child getting their leg or head trapped between two of the balustrade\u2019s railings. They also provide a potential opportunity for young ones to climb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Glass Blocks Out the Chill of the Wind<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Think of a glass balustrade as a glass window, it will allow sunlight to enter your space and keep it warm while at the same time prevent the breeze from passing through. This comes in handy if you want to enjoy the sight from your balcony without getting battered by the wind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
