What are frameless glass balustrades and how do they differ from traditional balustrades?

Frameless glass balustrades are a type of balustrade system that uses glass panels without a supporting frame, creating a sleek and uninterrupted look. 

Unlike traditional balustrades that use metal or wood frames, frameless designs rely on minimal hardware, such as stainless steel clamps or channels, to secure the glass panels in place. This design offers a modern and minimalist aesthetic, providing clear views and a sense of openness.

Are frameless glass balustrades strong and safe for use in residential properties?

Yes, frameless glass balustrades are strong and safe for use in residential properties when made from tempered or laminated safety glass. These types of glass are designed to withstand significant force and impact. Proper installation by a professional ensures that the glass panels are securely anchored and meet safety standards. Frameless designs provide the same level of safety as framed balustrades while offering a more contemporary appearance.

What are the maintenance requirements for frameless glass balustrades?

Maintaining frameless glass balustrades involves regular cleaning to keep the glass clear and free from smudges. A mild soap solution or commercial glass cleaner can be used with a soft cloth or sponge. It's important to avoid abrasive cleaners and rough materials that could scratch the glass. Periodically checking the hardware for tightness and ensuring that all fittings are secure will help maintain the structural integrity and appearance of the balustrades.
