Sturdy, hard-wearing glass railings
Glass is increasingly becoming the material of choice for modern railings. Its transparency provides visual lightness and a feeling of space, while its strength makes it a durable solution.
Tempered glass, a safe and attractive option
Thanks to the tempering process, ordinary glass could almost compete with traditional railing materials. Subjected to an extreme temperature rise followed by ultra-rapid cooling, it acquires remarkable mechanical properties. Its resistance to breakage is multiplied, enabling it to withstand impacts without shattering.
This quality makes it the preferred option when safety is essential, especially in areas frequented by children. Where simple glass would present a risk of injury in the event of breakage, tempered glass cracks without shattering. It preserves physical integrity even in the event of falling or flying objects.
Aesthetically, the result is equally impressive. Tempering does not alter the original transparency of the material. Glass panels retain the visual finesse so appreciated in glass railings. Their sleek appearance blends harmoniously into both interior and facade applications.
Aluminum or stainless steel profiles to assemble glass panels
Once the quality of the glass has been chosen, it's time to select the profiles that will ensure the structure and strength of the whole. Two materials are ideally suited to this function: aluminum and stainless steel.
Lightweight and indestructible, aluminum profiles come in a variety of cross-sections to create guardrails with customized geometry. Their lacquered or anodized finish blends perfectly with the clean lines of glass.
As for stainless steel profiles, their sophisticated silver hue enhances the effect of transparency. Corrosion-resistant, this noble material adds an industrial chic touch that contrasts pleasantly with the diaphanous lightness of glass.
In both cases, the panels can be easily and permanently attached. Depending on structural constraints, tubular, flat or mixed sections are available to suit any shape. The design of the profiles, with their attention to detail, completes the elegance of glass balustrades, while optimizing their strength over time.
Combining aesthetics and performance, the choice of these profiles is essential to sublimate the qualities of tempered glass.
Designer railings with meticulous finishes
In addition to their primary safety function, Railing-glass.com glass balustrades have become veritable elements of interior and exterior design. Thanks to technological developments and the expertise of our craftsmen, they can now boast innovative designs that enhance the aesthetic qualities of the materials used.
Whether in aluminum or steel, the creative possibilities are infinite for designing sleek lines, atypical profiles or sophisticated textures. High-precision finishes also add a luxurious dimension, with subtly crafted metallic, lacquered or anodized aspects.
Aluminum, an elegant, long-lasting material
Aluminum is a material with many advantages, which explains its strong growth over the last few decades. Light and resistant, it offers great solidity while limiting physical stress during use. Its low density, only a third that of steel, makes it the material of choice for constructions requiring high strength with low weight.
Aesthetically, aluminum also brings a touch of modernity. Its fine lines enable the creation of light, uncluttered structures, in keeping with current architectural trends.
Its resistance to corrosion also makes it a long-lasting alloy. Unlike other metals such as iron, it does not oxidize and retains its aesthetic qualities over the long term. Even when exposed to the elements, aluminum railings retain their shiny appearance without noticeable deterioration.
Stainless steel, timeless elegance
With its shimmering skin, stainless steel gives railings a sophisticated look that endures the test of time. Its timeless silver hue blends elegantly with both industrial interiors and modern facades.
Thanks to its unique molecular structure, this noble metal defies the ravages of time. Resistant to corrosion and scratches, it retains its beauty without requiring the slightest maintenance.
Craftsmen are thus free to explore all formal possibilities without fear of the wear and tear of the years. With their sleek profiles, curves and intricate cut-outs, stainless steel railings are infinitely versatile.
Wood, a natural material
Wood is a source of warmth and soul for all interiors. Its unique texture and grain bring charm and authenticity to every space.
Beyond its incomparable aesthetic appeal, wood also offers undeniable technical qualities. It is highly resistant to mechanical stresses such as compression or bending, while remaining lightweight. This makes it an ideal choice for load-bearing structures in buildings. It is also thermally insulating, playing an active role in both summer and winter comfort.
