Are glass railing systems safe？
Many people worry about the safety of glass railing.
Although the first impression of glass is "fragile", but with the development of science and glass manufacturing technology, glass materials have been maturely used in a variety of buildings. So don't worry.
First, the glass panels used in the glass railing are made of Tempered glass, which is heat treated to increase surface strength and change breaking patterns. It is about four times stronger than typical glass and will not break into dangerously sharp glass shards.
Second, the support structure that fixes the glass of the glass railing is usually made of metal, such as aluminum groove, stainless steel post etc.. These structure made of metal materials have excellent corrosion resistance and rust resistance, not only can ensure safety in daily use, but also can extend the service life of the railing.
Third, the glass railing does not have large openings. This avoids the risk that a child or pet could stick their arm, leg or head in and get stuck, or even fall, and there is no foothold for the child to climb, further improving safety.
