Simply put, glass staircases make a statement, whether the glass is clear, colored or textured. For both the traditional and modern designer, glass staircases create seamless, flowing elevation. Similarly, glass railings and balconies are the perfect design choice when you don’t want to compromise a beautiful view or safety. Options include full glass railings or glass infill, where the glass is surrounded by another material to provide the structural support. Another design option is a glass baluster that incorporates glass as a structural component, providing the vertical support to the railing system. Regardless of how you use glass in your staircase, railing or balcony designs, laminated safety glass is a must to prevent glass fallout in the event of breakage.
