Features and advantages of balcony glass railings
 

The earliest known glass appeared in northern Mesopotamia in 5000 BC. Applying glass glaze on the surface of small ceramics is considered to be the original form of glass. About 1600 BC, pure glassware appeared in Mesopotamia, Egypt and the Near East. The most common type is made by winding glass filaments on the surface of clay or sand core and melting them. Hard core forming is the main glass manufacturing process. The blowing technology invented by the Phoenicians in the 1st century BC is an important milestone in the history of glass development. Since then, people have been able to make larger and more exquisite glass products, such as glass balustrades on villas' balconies. During the Greek period, Alexandria and now Syria became the center of the glass manufacturing industry. In the 1st and 2nd centuries AD, glassmaking spread widely from these areas as far as the western part of the Roman Empire.
 

The crystal clear balcony glass railings are often used as decorative crafts and practical safety fences at home. The balcony glass balustrade is made of romantic colored blown glass, which makes the home beautiful. The warm lights at night are reflected on the dreamy glass, reflecting dazzling light and shadow. The glass balustrade of the villa balcony can present different aesthetic feelings, making the glass balustrade of the balcony more distinctive.
 

Balcony glass railing is made of pultruded glass fiber reinforced plastic as structural profile and glass fiber reinforced plastic molded products. It is the most cost-effective fence. It has the advantages of light weight, high strength, durability, beautiful appearance, security and theft prevention, and no maintenance. Basic composition of FRP fence: it is a frame structure based on FRP square pipe or round pipe, with FRP grating plate as the main protective surface, and then various connectors are used to connect all parts.
 

Features of balcony glass railings: compared with metal railings, FRP railings have the advantages of corrosion resistance, aging resistance and long service life. It is light in weight and high in strength. Even if it is limited by its self impact resistance, it will not be irreducible deformation or damage. There are various colors, such as green, yellow, gray, etc. because of its light weight, it is very convenient to install or cut. Comprehensive performance and high economic benefit.

The balcony glass railing is made of glass fiber reinforced plastic. Its molding process is to extrude the continuous reinforcement material impregnated with resin glue under the action of traction force through the molding mold and heat it in the mold and heating system. It has the following characteristics: corrosion resistance and no rust; Light weight and high strength; Anti fatigue; Bright colors; Anti aging, long service life; Excellent electrical insulation performance.

In decoration, the proportion of railings is not large, but it can affect the beauty and practicality of the house. There are various railings available in the building materials market today, the most common being stainless steel. However, glass railings have become popular in recent years. Glass railings made of metal frames, frosted glass or tempered glass have both practicality and aesthetics. What are the advantages of specific glass railings?

Advantages of glass railing:
Both vision and daylighting: Generally speaking, glass balustrades are installed on balconies, so that residents can clearly see the scenery downstairs when they rest on the balconies, while not blocking too much light. The balconies that were originally isolated from the outside world seem to be integrated with the outside world with the help of glass balustrades, allowing people to feel more space.
Weather resistance: as a barrier against wind, rain and cold, glass can be used as a closed space in bad weather conditions to enjoy the outdoor scenery.
Resistance to climate change: compared with spaced stainless steel railings, glass railings are more able to block strong winds and heavy rains because of the integrity of glass, so that there will not be too much water on the balcony in rainy days.
Privacy and security: toughened glass is generally used as the panel of glass railings. Due to the characteristics of toughened glass, the fragments formed will not cause harm to people when broken, while laminated glass is used for high-level users. When the glass is broken, the film in the middle of the laminated glass has a bonding effect on the glass fragments, so the broken glass will not fall and hurt people. At the same time, laminated glass can also be customized with frosted glass style, which also has a good protection for user privacy.
Convenient maintenance: no matter what kind of glass is used, the durability of the glass is very long without external force. It is convenient for daily cleaning and wiping. At the same time, it is corrosion-resistant. It can be used for more than 20 years with 304 stainless steel.
