Glass is typically known as a fragile material, one that breaks easily and won't hold up to the test of time. As such, many people wonder if stair rail glass is safe to use in their home or business.
The short answer is yes.
Stair rail glass is continually improving to create the safest option possible for your home or business.
To begin with, stair rail glass is made of tempered safety glass, which means it is four times stronger than regular glass. The chances of safety glass breaking are small.
If the safety glass were to break, it doesn't shatter into shards like normal glass either. Instead, it breaks into small, relatively harmless pieces.
Another feature to think about is that stair rail glass is the safest option for children. The glass panels aren't easily climbed, and the spaces between railings and fittings aren't big enough to stick hands, arms, legs, or heads through. The probability of a child getting stuck or injured is significantly lower with stair rail glass than other railing options.
Children also won't have easy handholds to climb up and over a railing, which will prevent dangerous falls.
Stair rail glass will not corrode, so the materials are long-lasting and durable. An added bonus to this feature is that stair rail glass provides a clear, unobstructed view of your home or business.
Traditional wood railings require expensive and time-consuming restorative work. Stair rail glass only requires minimal cleaning to keep up the glass appearance. All that is needed to maintain stair rail glass is soap, water, and a squeegee.
Without corrosion and the wear-and-tear of a traditional wood railing, stair rail glass holds up to the test of time much better than other, more traditional options. The safety features of stair rail glass far exceed the competition.
