Stairs and mezzanines may create or ruin the atmosphere of the interior of a house. Glass balustrades are one of the most trendy and useful additions. They introduce a feeling of openness, allowing the light to move around freely and introducing a smooth and contemporary feel to the room.
Glass balustrades are particularly good in open plan houses. They establish spaces that do not impede sight lines to create the illusion of bigger rooms. They have a floating effect on stairs that is modern and sophisticated. On the mezzanines, they can give you the pleasure of looking down on the lower level without being enclosed.
The design opportunities are flexible. Frameless panels have a very minimal appearance and framed ones could be in stainless steel, aluminium, or wood, which could bring a contrast or complement to the existing interior. Frosted or coloured glass may be employed in case of privacy or a lighter look.
The most important ones are durability and safety. Laminated or tempered glass is a guarantee that balustrades can be used every day and be safe with children or pets in the family. It is easy to maintain, just a quick wipe makes the glass look shiny and clean.
Finally, glass balustrades do not simply offer support or safety. They convert staircases and mezzanines to the elegant features, introducing light, airiness, and the contemporary elegance that contributes to the overall impression of the house.
