Many people who live on the beach, don’t know how to choose the glass for railing. Here today we would like to share you what factors need to consider, then you will know how to choose it.
What’s the main factors need to consider?
1.Corrosion Resistance: Saltwater and humidity can accelerate rust and corrosion, so choose hardware made from marine-grade stainless steel (SS306/SS2205) or aluminum alloy.
2.Durability: Tempered glass and laminated glass are the safety and most durable option for residential railings, complying with safety standards and withstanding outdoor conditions.
3.Aesthetics: Glass railings offer unobstructed views, creating a modern and minimalist look. Consider whether you want a fully frameless design or a framed/semi-framed option.
4.Maintenance: While relatively easy to maintain, regular cleaning is crucial to prevent salt buildup and keep the glass looking clear.
On above basis of the factors, then how to choose the most suitable glass railing with related accessories?
1.Glass Type: clear tempered glass and ultra clear tempered glass 12mm 15mm are the popular choice. If budget cost enough, then you can choose tempered laminated glass 5+5mm 6+6mm 8+8mm, these are the most safety and popular type.If hurricane-proof, recommended: 8mm + 1.52mm PVB + 8mm laminated glass (Features: Strong wind resistance, shatter-resistant fragments adhere to each other, preventing scattering. Suitable for high-rise buildings or typhoon-prone areas).
2.Hardware Materials:
***Marine-grade stainless steel: Highly resistant to corrosion and saltwater damage, maintaining its polished appearance over time, like the spigots SS304, SS316 and SS2205.
***Aluminum alloy: Another excellent option, particularly for areas with high moisture, as it doesn't rust.Like the Aluminum alloy U channel, Aluminum alloy Post system and Aluminum alloy handrail, etc.
3.Hardware Design:
***Frameless (spigot system): Glass panels are mounted with base-mounted spigots, offering a sleek, modern, and completely clear look.
***Framed or Semi-Frameless: These use frames or partial frames for support, which can be a more budget-friendly option and still provide a clean aesthetic.
