There has been a sudden emergence of the glass balustrade as homes attempt to capture a more modern look. The premise of this product is very basic, as the pane of glass is held in place by a handrail and support at the bottom of the balustrade. This is most useful in areas that are elevated, such as decking in an outdoor seating area.
When elevation is involved, safety becomes more and more important, the higher the height, the higher the safety precautions! Especially with young children present, the risk of falling becomes greater than ever, this is why balustrades are beneficial for safety as well as looking the part.
The fact that glass balustrades come into direct contact with the user, means that checks have to be made in order to ensure that they are safe and sturdy structures. This has to be the case if there is a safety risk involved! There is no point in any product if it breaks with ease, but this is even more poignant with a glass balustrade. This is because if this breaks, the is no barrier between the people enclosed or the ground below, which results in a very dangerous setting. The glass balustrades we provide come with 12mm toughened glass or 17.5mm laminated glass to ensure that this will not be the case and that the people enclosed constantly feel secure in their environment.
Modernised homes are becoming more common in this day and age, and Origin Architectural work with achieving a home that they are proud of, as well as utilising furniture at their disposal. These include increased usage in gardens that look to include a decking area. Again, these tend to be elevated which proves a safety risk. These help to keep people, especially younger ones, safe in their required area, allowing them to only use the entries and exits provided.
Origin Architectural recently supplied this side fixed channel frameless glass balustrade in Haringey. With no compromise for space, the balustrade looks fantastic if we say so ourselves! To create your glass balustrade give our team a call on 0113 277 4316.
