Durability
Though not as durable as aluminum, glass railings are generally made from thick tempered glass which is resistant to cracks or breaks from normal, daily stressors. Glass also provides a solid barrier around your patio and/or home. This safety barrier blocks tough weather from entering your space and prevents small items, or even small children, from getting past your enclosed space. Its structural integrity is unwavering as it does not warp, split, rust, or require paint or stain, unlike wood. Regular maintenance is required, though only for aesthetic purposes as glass simply requires a good cleaning.
Quality
The main reason clients choose glass railings is due to its visual appeal. Its timeless look is suitable for both modern and traditional styles of homes. Unlike other materials however, glass is transparent. This allows natural, unobstructed light to shine through, enhancing your space and providing a clean view of everything beyond your patio. Not only will glass add gorgeous aesthetics to your home, its a great way increase your property’s value as well.
Cost
Unlike aluminum railings, glass is much less cost-effective. The price also tends to fluctuate based on its thickness along with materials used for its framing and installation systems. However, what it lacks in affordability, glass rewards with visual appeal, timeless aesthetics, and unobstructed views. For more information, please contact us at (778) 873-5282 today.
