Whether it’s for pool fencing, a staircase or a balcony, frameless glass balustrades add the perfect finishing touch to anywhere you install it. Apart from the fact that a glass balustrade adds elegance and class, it is also very functional and practical.

While it gives you the protection you need without obstructing your views in a pool area, the same goes for a glass balustrade balcony. You can sit back, even lie back, relax and not lose your million-dollar view. However, not all glass balustrades are similar in quality. With plenty of products available in the market, you need to find a good quality glass that would not break easily and keep you safe if installed on a balcony or bridge.


If you want to install a frameless glass balustrade on your property, here are some crucial things that you need to consider before buying one.
 
Prioritizing Price

As with many things, price plays a significant role while buying balustrades. Although the cheapest options may sound appealing, however, due to the use of inferior quality materials in the making with lower installation standards, they may not last long. Remember, this is a long-term investment for your premises. So paying more for a higher quality product made from more durable materials and solid installation may actually save you money in replacements and repairs in the long run.

Go For Safety

Everyone wants their homes and properties to look beautiful, but there are some practical considerations you need to keep in mind when it comes to installing glass balustrades. The primary function of balustrade systems, particularly on big platforms like staircases and balconies, is to keep you and your family safe. For example, if you have infants or small children in your home, it is not advised to install a glass balustrade on your staircase without a handrail, no matter how great it looks!

Know The Required Thickness

One of the significant factors that one should consider before choosing a frameless glass balustrade is the thickness of the glass for the area it is going to be used. For instance, if you want to install the balustrade on your balcony, then the glass can be of moderate thickness (15mm) whereas, if you want a glass balustrade to use in a bridge or any other structure, the glass needs to be thicker. Generally, residential properties can have balustrades of a moderate thickness of around 900mm, and 1100mm to use in commercial properties.

Do a Thorough Research

Glass balustrades are sold by a lot of vendors and installers. In order to ensure the correct selection of size, type, quality of glass panels and stainless steel fittings, it is advised to put some time into researching. You need to take time to check the best quality of balustrade available with the vendor, their experience in balustrade installation, permits, licenses and whether the products meet relevant regulations or not. Simply purchasing from the first vendor without doing thorough research may put you at all sorts of risks.
