Modernising Balcony Balustrades


Replacing Metal Railings With Glass

 

Traditional metal railings form a perfectly safe and practical guarding system but can often create a ‘prison bar’ effect that does not offer the most pleasing environment for your home and garden. Many homeowners across the country are looking to refurbish their balcony areas and enhance their outdoor space and often the first material that springs to mind is glass;  because glass is widely associated as a luxury and contemporary building material.

There are many reasons to upgrade to a glass balustrade system but the main three benefits are :

  1. Improved aesthetics – Glass just looks good, it’s really that simple, and when combined with another contemporary material such as stainless steel, the whole balustrade system brings about a wow-factor that simply doesn’t exist with traditional metal railings.

  2. Enhanced, uninterupted views – There’s the simple beauty of clear glass, you can see through it – making a glass balustrade system the top choice for those with an elevated plot or pretty garden to enjoy.
  3. Wind reduction- Glass panels will block out most of the wind and provide a significantly less draughty seating area when compared to metal railings.

 

See below a recent example of an installation in Sheffield where DioMet surveyed, designed, manufactured and installed a new glass balustrade after removing and disposing of the existing metal railings. The balcony system chosen by our client to replace the railings was our ever popular System 1 glass balustrade and they were delighted with the end result.
