What Are Glass Balustrades Used For?

Glass balustrades provide a safety barrier for staircases, balconies, terraces, decks, pools and areas that require fencing. Glass balustrades are a popular choice for modern building projects because of their durability, safety, versatility, and their ease of cleaning and maintenance. They also provide a unique visual appeal that is very distinct from traditional metal and wooden fences as it allows uninterrupted views.

Glass Balustrade Ideas

If you’re planning on installing glass balustrades in your home or commercial property, the design options are endless. Glass is such a simple, elegant and versatile material that can be used to create a wide variety of different looks.

Combining Glass Balustrades With Timber Flooring

Nothing creates a fresh, bright natural look like glass balustrades that are paired with timber flooring. The glass and timber combination is a popular choice as it allows light to flow naturally through the space and helps create a feeling of gentle warmth while maintaining a clean and modern aesthetic. You can use timber treads in your glass staircase to create an open-air effect or combine glass balustrades with a timber-floored terrace or balcony to create a warm but minimalist Scandinavian look.

 

Semi-frameless Glass Balustrades With Stainless Steel Posts

For an ultra-modern design, semi-frameless glass balustrades combined with stainless steel posts can be a great option for staircases, balconies and pools. The cool silver metal combined with the sleek glass can create a hi-tech yet luxurious look that is eye-catching and understated. 

 

Curved Glass Balustrades

Curved glass balustrades are a fantastic way to turn a practical safety barrier into an elegant centrepiece for your property. In fact, a well-designed curved glass balustrade can act as an art installation and offer the utmost class and luxury feeling. However, it is important to note that curved glass balustrades require expert manufacturing and installation due to their complexity. 

 

Patterned Glass Balustrades

Decorative or patterned glass balustrades can be a good option for those who enjoy the unobstructed flow of light, safety and durability. Glass balustrades can come in a wide range of patterns and designs including etched glass, slumped textural glass, ceramic printed glass and more, which provides the option to create a custom look.

 

Coloured Or Tinted Glass Balustrades

Coloured and tinted glass balustrades are dual purposed. As it allows owners to add a unique design feature to their property with the inclusion of heat and UV ray protection. Glass balustrade panels can come in a range of custom colours from subtle greys and greens to eye-catching bronze and gold.
