As summer is upon us, now is the best time to consider adding a glass feature to your home!
The use of glass as a guard, whether it be indoor or outdoor, can truly transform a space. As many of us continue to work remotely, why not take advantage of the situation and make your space as inspiring as possible.
Glass is a feature that can be included in many different ways. Glass can be used as a guard, incorporated into the railing design, or as a wall itself. The use of glass in any design adds a high-end custom finish to the project. The addition of glass to any space also immediately makes it more open and bright, while maximizing the views of any location.
Check out our social media for more examples of this show stopping design feature!
Glass is insanely popular right now. Easily 90% of all of our very custom/high-end stair projects on the go right now have glass integrated into their design. There are a few things you need to know about glass before you decide if it is the guard for you. Firstly, cleaning the glass will become almost a daily habit, especially if you have curious dogs! Secondly, engineering will be required on nearly all jobs, so this is a cost you must factor in when planning a glass job. Typically 3/8" & 1/2" tempered are the industry standard for clear tempered glass. There are many ways to fasten the glass (stand-offs, glass clips, channel's) and this is where the inspectors are going to want to see your engineering.
We love the floor-to-ceiling look of tempered glass. Visually, the instant description that comes to mind is ultra contemporary & modern lines. The glass provides both as a functioning guard as well as providing an ultra contemporarylook which is expensive, however extremely sexy!
