Glass Railing on Your Beach House
Date: 2022-12-26 Browse:392

When choosing a railing system for your beach house, you need to consider the wear and tear of swab spray and moisture on your handrail. Because the ocean can be tough on accouterment. But you’ll also want to suppose about appearance. An ocean view is beautiful, and occasionally the rail of your sundeck isn’t where you want the focus.

If you want to focus on the ocean view, the frameless glass railing is a good choice. It doesn’t block your view, and visually it feels like it’s nonexistent on visual sense.

 

One distinct benefit of glass railings is that glass is more resistant to corrosion than stainless steel, which is the main material used in cable railing and stainless steel railing. Glass does not react with salt mist. But low-grade stainless steel handrails will be corroded and pit easily when exposed to sea air.

 

Someone is concerned about the maintenance of keeping glass railings clean, but in reality, it’s pretty similar to cleaning the glass of your windows. If the handrail railing needs cleaning, then we recommend that you use apH-neutral detergent solution that will not degrade the coating on the handrails and posts and will better maintain the surface of the railing

 

A good manufacturer will offer a couple of different styles of glass railings, such as full-panel glass railings and frameless glass railings. Each of these railings has its own pros and cons. Full panel glass railings tend to block wind well. This can be perfect for a beach-house situation if you want to cut down on sand blowing onto the deck or keep the wind from toppling furniture. But you should know that full-panel glass railing creates a significant greenhouse effect that heats up your space, so if your house is in a warm climate and you tend to visit it when the weather’s hot, full-panel glass might not be the suitable choice.

 

On the other hand, glass railings have the same unobtrusive appearance as full panel glass railing, but they are spaced to allow wind to come through. They are great at keeping the wind out of the house and keeping the room warm.
