Understanding the Safety Aspects of Glass Railings

Incorporating glass railings into your building project can create a modern aesthetic with a clean and elegant finish. However, the beauty of these railings should not distract from their intrinsic strength and safety features. At STN Glass, we are committed to providing comprehensive services that combine quality, design, and safety in each glass railing installation. Join us as we delve into the safety aspects of our glass railings.

Understanding the Vital Role of Safety in Glass Railing Installations

Safety is not a mere afterthought but forms the backbone of every glass railing installation we undertake at STN Glass. Our use of high-quality materials, coupled with adherence to local building codes, ensures the installed glass railings function as sturdy safety barriers.

Use of High-Quality Material

The glass used in our railings is taken through a stringent manufacturing process designed to ensure superior safety. We utilize tempered glass, known for its durability and impact resistance, manufactured through an intense process of heating and rapid cooling.

Alternatively, we use laminated glass - constructed by bonding two or more layers of glass with an interlayer, offering added safety and exceptional sound insulation.



Complying With Local Building Code Requirements

At STN Glass, we prioritize adhering to the local building codes to ensure the safety of our clients. Our installations comply with building code requirements, which typically mandate a minimum railing height of 36 to 42 inches and a maximum gap of 4 inches between glass panels.

Ensuring Safe and Secure Installation Process

Your safety during and after the installation process is paramount to us. We conduct a thorough site assessment, precise measurement, and fabrication before proceeding with the installation. Our team uses specific tools such as drills, clamps, suction cups, and safety gear to maintain a high standard of safety during the process.

Our service details are stringent, offering glass thickness options ranging from 6mm to 12mm. By following these specific guidelines and manufacturer directions, we ensure the secure installation of the structure.

After-Installation Safety Benefits

The installation of our glass railings offers numerous benefits, including enhanced safety due to the use of tempered and laminated glass. These installations are not just about adhering to building codes, but also ensuring the safety of those living or working within these spaces.

Our glass railings serve as robust safety barriers for balconies, staircases, and decks while simultaneously enhancing the aesthetic appeal of these areas.
