Technical features of our glass terrace balustrades
The sturdiness and longevity of Railing-glass.com terrace glass balustrades are based above all on rigorous technical criteria. Whether it's the materials used, the supporting structures or the installation methods, we place the utmost importance on quality and durability.
Quality materials
The choice of materials is essential to guarantee sturdy glass terrace railings. We use only top-quality glass. Our glass is systematically tempered or laminated. These processing techniques give them strength and robustness. Tempering enables them to better withstand thermal shocks and temperature variations. Laminating, on the other hand, considerably enhances their resistance to mechanical shocks.
What's more, the glass thicknesses used are considerable. This makes them extremely resistant to external aggression, such as splashes or attempted break-ins. These features meet the most stringent safety standards for guardrails.
Regulatory tests guarantee the perfect conformity of our glass, which withstands stresses far greater than those actually encountered in use. The sturdiness of these basic materials is therefore unrivalled, ensuring the longevity of our glass terrace balustrades over time.
Adapted structures
Behind the glass panels, the heart of a glass terrace balustrade lies in its supporting structure. This must hold the glass in place and secure it in place, while withstanding external stresses and strains. Our structures are made of aluminum profiles, an ideal material for this type of installation. Lightweight and extremely hard-wearing, it can withstand neither weather nor sea air.
Depending on the installation context, these profiles can be lacquered in suitable shades, or in stainless steel for the most aggressive environments. Whatever the surface treatment, their robust design ensures that they retain their lustre intact in the face of scratches or corrosion.
These frames are specially designed to withstand the most severe climatic stresses, as well as wide temperature swings. Their design allows for controlled material expansion in all circumstances.
Customized installation
