5 Advantages of Glass Balustrades

When you think of balustrades for a staircase, you might immediately think of the more traditional timber balustrades. But, these aren’t the only balustrades in Christchurch – at least not nowadays! Glass balustrades are becoming the go-to option for many properties that would love a stunning, contemporary and functional look for their staircase.

With the expertise of Grand Glass to assist, read on for more information about the 5 advantages for glass balustrades!

1. The Illusion of Space – Glass can reflect light, creating the clever illusion of more space throughout your property! Glass balustrades are particularly effective in making an elevated area or staircase appear more open, bright and vast.
   
   
2. Enjoy More Sunlight – Because glass balustrades do not block out light like their more traditional timber counterparts, you can enjoy a much better flow of light and air across your property. This is perfect for a New Zealand building, where summers can be very bright and hot!
   
   
3. Embrace Modernity – Properties are becoming more and more contemporary in style nowadays. Why not embrace modernity yourself with a glass balustrade that reflects the futuristic world we now live in?
4. Easy Cleaning – Although dirt, marks and fingerprints can show up on a glass balustrade easier than a timber one, this just means they are easier to clean! Quality glass cleaning products can be easily found throughout Christchurch and wider New Zealand, and wiping marks or stains away takes mere seconds. This is much preferable to the undertaking that is cleaning a metal or wood balustrade.
   
   
5. Stronger Than You Might Think – People think that glass can be broken easily, with the slightest miscalculated throw of an object, or a fall! This couldn’t be further from the truth. Especially for glass balustrades, glass is far stronger than you might think. They are durable, robust, and age slower than other materials. In fact, with very little maintenance, glass balustrades can last for decades.
