7 Advantages of Glass Balustrades
                     7 Advantages 
of Glass 
Balustrades
INTRODUCTIO
N
Balustrades are used both internally and externally in many buildings 
to support staircases and balconies while also providing safety and 
security. While various materials can be used to create a visually 
alluring and functional balustrade, glass balustrades have become 
increasingly popular in recent years due to their numerous 
advantages.
Frameless glass balustrades are especially popular in modern 
architecture and interior design.
Here’s a closer look at the numerous advantages of a glass 
balustrade.

GLASS GIVES THE APPEARANCE 
OF MORE SPACE
Glass elements are popular in home design because they help to 
create the illusion of more space in the building. This is especially true 
if the balustrade is made of transparent glass. The illusion of more 
space makes the room appear even larger than it is, which is difficult 
to achieve with metal, chrome, or iron options.
You can enjoy a transparent border with a glass balustrade for stairs 
or elevated areas, just like with a glass shower screen or glass door, 
creating an open, fresh, and more expansive atmosphere.

THE LIGHT WILL NOT BE BLOCKED 
BY GLASS
Glass balustrades are very popular because they do not block out 
light in a building. Glass balustrades also enable light to shine 
through, enhancing the presence of sunlight and creating a more 
open, airy feel indoors.
In contrast to traditional railings and borders that block light, a 
glass balustrade installed in line with windows creates a very 
modern, almost ethereal interior because natural light is allowed to 
pass freely within the space.

GLASS WORKS WELL IN MODERN 
INTERIORS
Glass balustrades have the ability to add a touch of modern 
sophistication to any building in which they are installed. 
This will also be beneficial if you plan to sell your home 
because you will receive a good amount of cash during the 
resale. This type of house enhancement will attract a large 
number of buyers also.
5
GLASS IS SIMPLE TO KEEP CLEAN
Glass balustrades are not only beautiful, but they are also 
simple to maintain. Commercial glass cleaning products and a 
lint-free cloth are all you need to maintain your new 
installation and wipe down the balustrade in a matter of 
minutes. Maintaining that newly installed appearance is a 
piece of cake. If you have scratches or other damage, 
polishing can restore the glass to its original beauty, which is a 
massive benefit over metal or wood balustrades.

GLASS BALUSTRADES ARE POWERFUL 
AND LONG-LASTING
A glass balustrade is not only beautiful, but it is also extremely 
strong. Your new installation will last for many years with little or no 
maintenance required.
Many people believe that glass is fragile, but it is actually an 
extremely durable building material. Glass, in fact, outlasts wood, 
which is prone to pest infestation or corrosion after a few years. Glass 
will maintain its durability and quality over time. Because glass ages 
slowly, the changes that occur over time are just hardly visible to the 
naked eye. Glass’s excellent durability makes it well worth your 
investment, as glass balustrades can last for decades.

COMPLETES OTHER MATERIALS 
PERFECTLY
Glass balustrades offer excellent design versatility and are the 
ideal complement to any other materials used in your new 
installation. Risers, handrails, and banisters can be made of 
wood, metal, or stone, and large expanses of glass will 
enhance the overall look. There is also the option of using 
opaque or patterned glass, as well as a variety of colors, 
textures, and framing options.
8
GLASS IS SECURE AND SAFE
Glass can now be made that is both strong and safe thanks to 
advances in technology. In fact, glass balustrades made of 
thick, tempered glass rarely break. Because these strong 
balustrades are often as strong as steel, it takes extreme 
structural pressure to break them. Even if the tempered glass 
does break, the shards are not sharp, making glass an 
excellent choice for any area, including homes with children.
