Making Outside Seating Areas Safer with Glass Balustrades

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 hand rail and a 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. Due to the fact that glass balustrades come into direct contact with the user, this 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 to ensure that this will not be the case, and that the people enclosed constantly feel secure in their environment.
