Easy! Choosing between Glass and Aluminium Balustrade is no rocket science. So, let’s suss out who’s the boss for your stairs or balcony!
- Strength
Aluminium seems to love Yoga, but newsflash- Yoga doesn’t make balustrades stronger. While aluminium’s lightweight nature makes it easy to handle, it also makes it less stable, especially in windy conditions. Compare it with Glass, very sturdy, if installed professionally. It does not wobble; it does not bend.
And it does not terminate here, even the glass used in the aluminium balustrade is 6mm thick, making it more vulnerable and likely to break, in comparison to the 12mm thick glass used for glass balustrades.
- Maintenance
Aluminium balustrades can be challenging to maintain, especially when it comes to cleaning the corners and tight spots within the frame. Over time, this can lead to a build-up of dirt and grime, causing the structure to look worn and lose its aesthetic appeal.
Glass balustrades, on the other hand, offer a sleek, low-maintenance alternative. With no hidden corners or hard-to-reach areas, regular cleaning is simple and effective—keeping the glass looking fresh and elegant for years.
- Views
Beauty unveiled is beauty realized. What’s the point of a stunning coastal or city view if it’s blocked? That’s what Aluminium balustrades do! They snatch those mesmerizing views from you and replace them with something boring. On the other hand, Glass balustrading makes it pretty CLEAR and lets you enjoy it whether outside on the balcony or even on the stairs.
- Environmental Impact
It is high time we acknowledge how much we owe the environment and the best way to do so is to consider the environmental implications when making a choice. Consider Aluminium, its production process is energy-intensive, and its carbon footprint is significantly higher. Glass balustrades, on the other hand, are recyclable and leave a smaller carbon footprint. In short, choose Environment!
Let’s break the Stereotypes
- Tempered Glass DOES NOT BREAK easily! Even if it does, it crumbles into small, blunt, pebble-like pieces, all thanks to the internal tension built into the glass.
- Worried about privacy? Glass balustrades have got you covered! One of its kinds, Privacy Glass does not let someone see through the glass. So, you can enjoy the aesthetic appeal without compromising on privacy.
So, whether you're building your dream home or upgrading your view — choose clarity, strength, and sustainability. Choose Glass.
