15 Glass balustrades – a versatile, practical and elegant option with limitless opportunities
Glass in general is appreciated for its versatility. It looks fragile and light but it’s actually extremely strong and durable and this combination of qualities has revealed numerous opportunities for us to use it interior design. But today we’re going to talk about something specific: balustrades.
It’s where glass impresses the most with natural qualities. A glass balustrade is strong enough and safe enough to replace any other type of balustrade but it has something that no other kind has: transparency. Imagine having a terrace with spectacular views. You would want to be able to admire them without anything standing in the way. A glass balustrade will offer you that.
Glass balustrades offer numerous unique advantages. They offer you safety and strength just like timber or even steel but, in addition to that, they also offer minimal use of support posts and this way you’ll get clean lines and unobstructed views. It’s definitely a detail that would change the design of a terrace or balcony.
