Ups & Downs of Glass Railings for Decks

April 5, 2016 By admin Leave a Comment

Do you have a deck on your property and sometimes consider adding glass railings to it? Glass railings have been becoming more and more trendy. While there are many great reasons to have glass railings installed, there are also a few disadvantages (although we feel the good outweighs the bad!). Here are both the advantages and disadvantages of installing glass railings on your deck:

All About Glass Railings for Decks

Advantages:

  • Affordable and obtainable almost everywhere, making glass railings an incredible add-on to your deck.
  • If you have small youngsters, the glass railings permit the children to see out and about, while still holding them safely within the deck area.
  • If you have a view of the lake, mountains, cityscape, incredible backyard garden area or a special wooded area, glass might be the only approach to keeping your view pristine.
  • Good railings can also be an enormous wind breaker, which is one reason that many people that live on lakes choose to have them.
  • You can also produce a modern décor theme by placing a wood railing on top of the railings.

Disadvantages:

  • Glass Railings may need to have additional washing in comparison to wood. Especially, if you have puppies or small kids that want to put their small paws or fingers on the glass.
  • Breakage is an additional factor that quite a few property owners are anxious about. Luckily, the majority of glass deck rails are constructed of tempered glass, which is relatively strong. This doesn’t mean they are indestructible thought. Don’t throw stones at a house with glass railings!
  • Glass railings can also result in a greenhouse effect. If it is facing a very sun-drenched area, it can become quite warm. This is where it is a good idea to plan and check the area your glass railings will be facing. You can make sure there is an air flow through one side of your plan.

Glass Railings – Advantages and Disadvantages

July 3, 2015 By admin Leave a Comment

Teaneck Glass Railings | Northeast NJ Glass ServiceGlass railings can add a modern and pleasing to the eye look to any deck, balcony, staircase, or ledge. Glass railings are great for deck owners whose primary concern is the safety of their little children and pets. In traditional glass railing designs, the spaces in between the panels are tiny so little hands, feet, and heads are less likely to be stuck in between. Because the panels are clear, you can both enjoy the view of your outdoor living space and watch the kids as they play, while you sit back and relax in your lounge chair. Glass railings are also referred to as “invisible railings” because the rails do not block or break up the beautiful view from the deck. Today, we are going to talk about the pros and cons of glass railing:

Glass Railings Pros

  • Lower maintenance – Unlike hardwoods that need regular care and maintenance, decks with glass railings do not need to be stained, treated, painted or finished to maintain their beauty and durability. This is an important benefit because decks are continuously exposed to the sun, wind, and water, so weathering is inevitable… but not with glass! Glass railings require almost no maintenance, except regular cleaning with a squeegee, soap, and water.
  • Treated glass and aluminum posts do not corrode – glass panels and treated aluminum posts do not corrode when exposed to water. With proper materials, you will have unobstructed views of your decks, without having to worry that the materials will corrode over time as they are exposed to weather and water from your pool.
  • The glass surface tolerates extreme temperatures better – Unlike hardwood railing materials, glass railings are not vulnerable to surface cracking. Glass railing systems are specially manufactured, offering excellent durability. Tempered glass panels do not shatter even when cracked, so they are safe and sturdy.
  • Highly customizable – If you are looking for added privacy, you can choose the exterior panels to be frosted. If you want more visibility, transparent glass is the best choice. View obstruction has always been a major issue with wood and metal railings.
  • Easy to assemble – Glass railings are easy to install for both new installations and deck upgrades.

Glass Railing Cons

  • Cleaning and maintenance – You should be prepared to keep the glass panels blemish and fingerprint free by regular cleaning. The panels may be prone to smudges from kids and pets, and of course deposits and drips left by bugs and birds. While glass railings require way less maintenance than hardwood deck railings, you should still consider this factor.
  • Price – Standard decks constructed from composite materials won’t bore a hole through your pocket, that’s true. But you should be prepared to spend extra if you decide to add glass panels to your deck rails.
  • Lack of privacy – while glass railing allow you to enjoy uninterrupted views of your surroundings, they also allow passersby to see you and your decking activities. Fortunately, you can choose the glass panels to be frosted, especially for greater protection around hot tubs and private areas in your deck.
