There are lots of ways to renovate your home. But one thing people often forget — and should think about — is adding railings. Glass railing installation is a popular choice for modern homes because they offer lots of benefits and a sleek, trendy look. Here are a few reasons to think about installing them.
Below are just a few of the reasons to consider installing glass railings in particular.
1. Installing Glass Railings in Kelowna is Simple and Easy
Glass railings are easier to install than wood ones because they usually come in just a few big pieces—sometimes only two. Glass panels and a few railing parts mostly make them, though some types might include extra pieces.
Overall, glass railings have fewer parts, so they take less time to put together and cost less to install.
2. Glass Railings Are Easy to Maintain
You need to give extra care to wood and metal railings, and fixing them can be hard if scratches or dings appear. On the other hand, you can easily clean glass and polish it to remove scratches in just a few minutes. It doesn’t need paint or stain, and it won’t rust, get moldy, or rot—so it lasts a long time.
3. Glass Railings Are Durable and Safe
Like we said before, glass railings don’t have many of the problems that other railings can have, especially outside. Since they don’t have gaps or slats, kids can’t fall through or get stuck, and it’s hard for them to climb on.
A lot of people worry the glass might break, but safety-tempered glass is made to not break or shatter. It also won’t crack, even in tough weather.
4. Unobstructed View
If your veranda, patio, or deck has a nice view, glass railings are a great way to keep that view clear. Most glass railings are see-through, so you and your guests can enjoy the scenery from your custom deck in Kelowna.
Having a clear view also helps you keep an eye on things, especially if you have kids. You can see what’s going on downstairs without having to move or lose your comfort.
5. Design Versatility
We offer lots of design options for your custom glass railings. Because glass is clear, it’s one of the few railing choices that can include different design styles without looking busy or cluttered.
This gives you more freedom and flexibility to design your outdoor space just the way you want.
6. High Visual Appeal
Glass railings give your deck a clean, modern look that stands out from ordinary railings. They’re super flexible, too — you can make them fit any style you want.
Want an old-world Tuscan vibe? No problem. Or maybe a sleek, modern look? That works, too.
Lots of fancy homes in Kelowna use glass railings to add a touch of elegance and luxury to their design.
7. Glass Railings Create a Solid Wall Structure
Unlike other deck railings, glass railings create a solid barrier between the deck and the glass panels or posts. So, if your home has a raised deck or screened porch, our experts in Kelowna use only high-quality glass to make sure nothing small falls through the railings.
Glass panels are thick, tempered, and have no gaps, making them safer for kids and pets. This solid design helps prevent accidents, like a child getting their head stuck between railings.
8. Glass Railings Are Resilient and Resistant
Wood needs regular care like painting and sealing to stop it from rotting. But with glass railings and the metal brackets that hold them (usually powder-coated), you don’t have these problems—they rarely chip or rust from weather.
Wood can also get mildew, mold, and is more likely to catch fire. Glass and metal brackets don’t have those risks. Plus, glass railings won’t warp or get damaged by termites.
