Technical features of our glass balustrades

Our glass balustrades are designed to combine protection, durability and aesthetic appeal over the long term. To achieve this, we pay particular attention to the materials and fastening systems we use. They guarantee the strength and durability of our glass balcony railings. Transparent and uncluttered, these structures must meet current safety standards and withstand external aggression while retaining their original appearance.

Quality materials

The glass used in our glass balcony balustrades is carefully selected for strength and longevity. We use only tempered or laminated safety glass, with a minimum thickness of 10 mm.

Thanks to the tempering process, the glass acquires greater hardness and impact resistance than ordinary glass. It is thus 4 times more resistant to impact. Its surface is composed of compressed molecules, making it extremely robust. Laminated glass is further strengthened by the addition of a thin PVB film inside the glass.

These treatments enable Railing-glass.com balcony railings to meet the exacting safety standards required for this type of structure. Their 10mm thickness gives them optimum resistance to mechanical stresses such as impact or climatic conditions. Glass retains its transparency and protection against weathering and scratching over time.

High-strength stainless steel fasteners

In addition to choosing durable materials, we attach great importance to the fastening systems used for our glass balcony railings. We use only high-quality stainless steel fasteners and profiles.

Highly resistant to corrosion, these stainless steel components are unaffected over time by external influences such as humidity, salt or UV rays. Thanks to this excellent long-term resistance, joints and connections retain their watertight integrity.

The glass panels are securely fastened using clamps and bolts made of 304L stainless steel, internationally recognized for its strength. This assembly also ensures perfect air and water tightness. Stainless steel has a coefficient of expansion close to that of glass, so there's no risk of breakage even in the event of severe thermal variations.

Strict safety standards

The safety of our glass balcony railings is our top priority. We scrupulously comply with all applicable standards for this type of railing, including European standard EN 1289.

This standard defines very strict requirements in terms of resistance to wind loads, snow loads, impact and corrosion. Our glass guardrails are systematically tested in approved laboratories, guaranteeing their perfect compliance.

Whether in terms of the quality of the materials used, the glass thicknesses employed or the fastening systems, the construction of our glass balcony railings meets all the criteria of these regulations.
