Staircases are not something practical only, they can be a focal point of a house. Frameless glass railings are one of the design options that have been on the increase. They remove most of the traditional wood or metal balustrades and instal smooth and transparent panels that expand the space, make it larger, brighter, and more contemporary.
The simplicity of frameless glass is beautiful. The stairs nearly look like they are floating as there is no sight of any posts or heavy frames. The space is freely lit by natural light and can give a hallway or a door the illusion of having been completely changed. When you have ever visited a house with one of these staircases you are aware of the impression it produces, it is open, gracious, and modern without being too heavy.
Naturally, it is not only about appearance. Toughened glass or tempered glass is better known as frameless glass and that is why this glaze is very strong and secure. It can absorb normal bumps and knocks and in the event that it does break it is so made that it will break into little and blunt pieces as opposed to sharp ones. That is why it can also be a rather convenient choice in family houses.
It is also easy to maintain as all one needs to do is to wipe the glass to ensure it remains clean and shiny unlike wood or metal railings which require polishing, painting or treatment with time. But in case some of them prefer some privacy or fashion, other glasses can be used instead of plain ones which are frosted or tinted.
Finally, use of frameless glass stair railings can be used to transform a staircase into a statement. They are minimal and modern and introduce a sense of airiness and elegance that totally transforms the experience of a home.
