Create an Outdoor Oasis with Glass Railings

glass railings on outdoor deck

In the past, deck railings were commonly made of wood or metal. In recent years, however, glass railings have become much more popular among homeowners, and for good reason! If you have plans to add or renovate your outdoor space soon, consider glass railings as part of your design. Glass railings provide:

Unobstructed Views
One of the best features of glass railings is that they allow a clear view of your property. This is especially desirable if you have a gorgeous view, whether of trees, a rolling hill, or a decked-out swimming pool. Frameless railings can take the view to the next level by eliminating the top and bottom rails.

Versatility
Since glass railings are clear, they blend seamlessly with any home style. Aluminum frames used for glass railings are available in multiple colors. In addition, glass panels can be cut into varying sizes so that you can customize the railing to fit your home perfectly.

Durability
Glass railings are made of tempered glass, one of the strongest types of glass available. The glass can stand up to everyday wear and tear and is easy to maintain. Breaking or cracking is also highly unlikely. As opposed to wooden railings, which can rot and decay over time, glass railings are supported by long-lasting metal frames.

Safety
A solid glass panel can also increase the safety of your deck or patio, especially when children are involved. You won’t have to worry about little arms or legs getting stuck in slats, and children won’t be able to get a foothold to try and climb the railing. When used on stairs, glass railings can also enhance visibility and reduce the chance of tripping.

High Style
With their sleek lines and minimalist look, glass railings add a modern aesthetic to your home. Glass railings allow more natural light to enter a space, especially for balconies or covered decks and patios. Moreover, the upscale style of glass railings can increase your home’s resale value in the future.
