How Long Will My Frameless Glass Last?
When it comes to designing modern and sophisticated spaces, frameless glass installations have emerged as a popular choice. This design choice not only creates a feel of openness and transparency in your bathroom, hallway, or balcony, but elevates the aesthetics and appeal of your home. Understanding the lifespan of these installations is crucial for ensuring durability, safety, and long-term value for your investment. We will investigate the factors that influence the longevity of frameless glass and consider the measures you can take to extend its lifespan. The endurance and resilience of anything installed by Sydney Frameless Glass adheres to the highest industry standards, and is covered by warranty if professionally installed by us. From then, it’s up to you to keep your glass looking great.
A properly maintained, good-quality shower screen can last anywhere from 20-30 years. A completely frameless shower may age better than a semi-frameless setup. This is because the inclusion of metals and other parts may show signs of corrosion or age faster. To prevent costly repair bills and ward off premature ageing, here are a few simple tips to ensure your shower looks great for years.
Clean regularly with a non-abrasive cleaner and use a soft microfibre cloth on fittings. This ensures that soap scum and water spots are prevented.
Proper ventilation ensures that a buildup of mould and moisture in your shower doesn’t affect the longevity of the screen.
Sealant maintenance should be conducted regularly to avoid breakdown or damage
A glass balustrade or balcony is thick and high-quality, and will often last a lifetime with proper care. These are extremely safe when installed properly and have to pass numerous stability and safety tests to ensure their quality before they can be installed in houses. To clean, follow these safe tips: use a mild detergent or just water and a microfibre cloth to wipe the balustrades occasionally. This only takes a few moments and can be done independent of other cleaning duties.
Glass pool fencing must meet Australian 2820 quality standards, which outlines how it should last for at least 10 years in its intended purpose. In fact, glass pool fencing often lasts 3-4 times longer than a regular fence, as the absence of metal detailings and other parts make it age-proof and resistant to corrosion. As said before, pool fences are extremely durable and resistant to all weather conditions.
Rinse with mild detergent and a microfibre cloth when the fence needs a refresh or is looking streaky. Exposure to weather means that outdoor glass fencing generally requires less maintenance than its indoor counterparts.
In conclusion, the longevity of frameless glass installations, such as shower screens, fencing, and balconies, is an important consideration for anyone seeking to enhance their living spaces with timeless elegance. By understanding the factors that influence the lifespan of frameless glass and implementing proper care and maintenance, you can ensure the durability and longevity of these brilliant installations.
