Unlike metal or wood railings, glass railings provide clear, open views, making spaces feel larger and more connected to the surrounding environment. This is especially beneficial for waterfront properties like Hallmark of Hollywood, where homeowners want to enjoy breathtaking landscapes.
Modern glass railings are made from tempered or laminated safety glass, which is highly resistant to impact and extreme weather conditions. They are designed to withstand heavy loads while ensuring safety.
Unlike traditional materials that require regular painting or rust-proofing, glass railings only need occasional cleaning with glass-safe solutions to maintain their clarity and shine.
Glass railings can be designed in various styles, including:
Adds a single glass panel to the laminated glass unit with a hermetically sealed air space (or gas filled space) in the middle.
This glass is generally more expensive but offers improved energy efficiency. The space filled with air or gas serves as an insulator between the difference in temperature that exists between the inside and the outside.
Although it is more useful in colder climates, it improves the performance of LoE coatings and, in some cases, architects or local construction departments require their use.
