Technical specifications of our glass railings
Each fixing method offers its own advantages, whether in terms of space optimization, sturdiness or sleek aesthetics.
With this in mind, Made-in-glass.com offers three different ways of fastening a glass railing: on the facade, on the floor, or French style and flush-mounted.
English fastening
Facade mounting, commonly known as "à l'Anglaise", is perfectly suited to confined spaces. This technique takes advantage of verticality by fastening the guardrail directly to the side of the support, freeing up floor space and minimizing clutter.
French-style fastening
For greater sturdiness, floor fastening, or "à la Française", is the preferred method. This involves anchoring the glass panels with an aluminum profile, clamps or sturdy fixing posts, ensuring optimum stability thanks to direct, solid attachment to the ground.
Flush mounting
Recessed mounting is the epitome of harmonious integration and durability. By embedding the glass in a special profile equipped with a water drainage system, this method minimizes the risk of corrosion while maximizing the structure's transparency and strength.
What type of glass does Made-in-glass.com use for railings?
Although a wide variety of glass types are available, not all are suitable for the manufacture of railings. As glass railings are safety-critical elements, they must be made from a specific type of glass to guarantee this safety.
Made-in-glass.com specifically uses the following types of special glass:
- Laminated glass: Laminated glass differs from monolithic glass in its multi-layer structure. It consists of several sheets of glass interleaved with one or more layers of transparent plastic, often polyvinyl buteral (PVB) or EVA film. This composition gives laminated glass enhanced resistance and the ability to retain splinters in the event of impact, thus reducing the risk of injury.
- Tempered glass: Tempered glass differs from laminated glass in its unique manufacturing process. This type of glass undergoes advanced thermal or chemical treatments that enhance its strength far beyond that of standard glass. As a result, when subjected to impact, it shatters into granular pieces rather than sharp splinters, significantly reducing the risk of injury. This characteristic makes tempered glass a safe and reliable choice for applications requiring increased strength.
- Tempered laminated glass: this type of glass is the result of meticulous combination and manufacture. It combines the advantages of laminated and tempered glass, enhancing the robustness and safety of our installation. It represents the ultimate in resistance and protection.
Specific glass treatments
For the most demanding customers, Made-in-glass.com offers self-cleaning glass, a type of glass that has the ability to remain free of dirt across its entire surface. This is made possible by a specific treatment applied to the glass. In fact, a layer of titanium dioxide and silica has been applied to the glass during the manufacturing process. These components create a hydrophilic and photocatalytic effect, enabling the glass to be cleaned by natural light. The glass generates a reaction when it receives ultraviolet rays, causing dirt to break down on its outer surface. As a result, it doesn't stick, and can be washed in the rain without leaving stains or streaks as it dries. This makes it a perfect solution for buildings with large windows, where cleaning is essential.
Height and dimensions
Made-in-glass.com is scrupulously demanding when it comes to complying with regulations on systems for protecting structures at height.
The width of the glass panel used for guardrails is 100 cm, but this can be made to measure according to customer requirements.
The height can vary according to destination:
- 100 cm for conventional use,
- 110 cm around a swimming pool,
- 90 cm for stair climbing...
LED glass balustrade
For added fun and modernity, Made-in-glass.com also offers an LED railing system integrated into the handrail or lower part of the glass panel. The lighting provides a soft, glare-free light to guide users along their path.
This innovation is not limited to practicality; it also transforms the railing into a dynamic architectural feature that can change the mood of a space. With the ability to vary colors and intensity, LEDs offer design flexibility that can adapt to different events or personal preferences.
