Beautify Your Home With Semi Frameless Glass Balustrades

Semi-frameless glass balustrades offer a beautiful add-on to any home, whether you want to use it outside or inside. But why is it a good option compared to other types, which parts of your home can benefit from it, and where can you find an installer?

Today we will answer all these questions to help you determine whether it’s a good time for a renovation.

Types of Balustrades and How They Compare

The main purpose of modern balustrades is two-fold: it offers a way to improve the space’s aesthetic while acting as an important safety measure. Balustrades typically come in three different types, including:

Semi-Frameless Glass

The first type of glass balustrade is a semi-frameless option. The ‘semi-frameless’ refers to these balustrades having stainless steel or aluminium posts that keep the glass panels in place. The glass is thinner than entirely frameless options since the balustrade gets structural integrity from the posts, not the glass panels. Glass is also the easiest to clean and requires minimal maintenance.

Frameless Glass

Compared to semi-frameless options, frameless glass balustrades do not have posts. Instead, it has anchor points and relies on thicker glass panels to compensate for structural integrity. These panels are thicker than with semi-frameless options and are more expensive. However, these panels are still easy to clean and even easier to maintain.

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel balustrades are the cheapest options, but it is not as versatile as glass, given that it works better with certain aesthetics. Aside from being cheap, you also have options for various colours.

As you can see, semi-frameless glass is an excellent option, offering a middling costing product and the universal aesthetic of glass.

Where in Your Home Can You Install Glass Balustrades

A semi-frameless glass balustrade can spruce up various parts of your home while also offering necessary safety to the area. While these glass balustrades provide a beautiful aesthetic, their main purpose remains to act as barriers. Here are some areas where you can install these eye-catching balustrades:

Stairs

Glass balustrades are a good addition to modern staircases. The stainless steel or aluminium posts that hold the glass in place also allow you to install handrails, which will round out the aesthetic.

Balconies and Patios

Given the rigid shape of semi-frameless glass balustrades, you can easily use them as safety barriers on your balconies. Conversely, patios might not need the safety features but can benefit greatly from the aesthetic.

Pool

Pool barriers must meet strict criteria, which can lead to people thinking they have to forego aesthetics for practicality. With semi-frameless glass options, you do not have to sacrifice on aesthetics since we can make sure the balustrades meet all legal requirements during installation.
