Glass Balustrades & Glass Balconies
Also knows as: Glass Rail or Glass Barrier
In the following Q & A Mr. Effi Wolff Managing Director and founder of the UK branch of Balcony Systems Solutions Limited, he explains what everyone is hyped up about and why Balcony Systems proprietary glass balustrade system fits the bill.
"Well I think people have realized that glass is the perfect product, its strong enough to resist impact and stresses, it is highly aesthetic and it complements almost all other materials it goes together with."
"Yes, but I would try to say there are mainly three categories:
Now you have confused me, whats Structural glass?"Structural glass means the glass is the structure and the actual resistance to people, wind and pressure is being taken up through the glass. The glass is cantilevered from the bottom. The main advantage to structural glass is that in all cases it will not have any vertical posts, the main downsides are that it imposes a great stress on the structure both in weights and load and off course it is very dear.
Here are some pictures of structuralGlass Balustrades we have supplied to a project in Jersey. Note there are no verticalposts.
"Wellfrom my experience:
"Weight can in many instances be an important element; particularly on cantilevered balconies as on these the weight becomes a critical factor in calculating the reaction load of the balcony structure. In any case an axiom is the more weight the more structure to counter the weight.
