Every house needs a staircase to increase the safety of its stairs. Of course, apart from being safe, beauty is also very important and is very effective in the interior design of the house. We have several types of fences: wooden fence, metal fence, wooden fence and glass fence. One of the most popular of these fences is the glass fence. These fences are one of the most stylish and beautiful types of fences. In addition to strength and safety, steel fences give your home a very attractive look. Keep in mind that the combination of glass and steel has a longer lifespan than other fences. This combination will corrode much later. This composition can be easily cleaned and cleaned, and this has made it one of the most popular interior decoration materials.
How many types of glass fences do we have?
Another name for the glass fence is handrail, and as we said, it is highly regarded for its beauty and high resistance. Glass fences have two models:
▪️with tempered glass
▪️with laminated glass
Secure glass fence
The glass railing is made of 8 to 12 mm tempered glass, and the bases are made of aluminum or steel profiles. These profiles are placed next to each other with specific distances based on the height of the handrail. These glasses are also placed in the same profiles, and the bases are mounted with glass clamps in the profiles, and finally, the anodized aluminum cap is mounted on these bases. It is all glass. Thus, the final price of these types of fences is one third of the price of all-glass handrails. Generally, this type of fence is used in residential buildings, offices, staircases, villas, balconies, terraces, and swimming pool areas, and in some cases, it is also used in the overall view of the building.
Laminate
Laminated glass is much more resistant than tempered glass fences. Of course, this depends on their stronger construction. We must say that the laminate glass fence is made by placing two pieces of tempered glass with thicknesses of 5, 8, and 10 mils side by side, and also the laminate glass fences have a maximum height of 150 cm, which is completely in accordance with international standards. Laminated glass fences are sold in the market as all glass, all the components are made of glass, and from this fence, both as a base of the fence and as a The protective guard is used. The thickness of the glass of this type of fence is 12 to 16 mm and they use steel, aluminum and wooden handrails. This fence is usually used in public places such as hospitals and clinics, universities, airports, commercial complexes and hotels.

How safe are glass fences?
One of the concerns of people is the safety of the glass fence. Many are concerned about whether these fences are as safe as they are beautiful. Many people are worried about breaking the glass of the fences and not being able to bear the weight placed on it. Of course, this idea is very absurd and illusory. Glass fences are stronger and safer than normal fences in all aspects. Since the glass fences do not have gaps, your children and animals will not get stuck between them and even in some cases they will not lose their hands and feet! In glass fences, the space between the glass and the supports is very small. So we can conclude that the child does not climb it easily. Also, unlike wooden and metal fences, they do not rot or rust in any way.
Another important thing to mention is that the weight bearing of glass fences is much higher than old fences, of course, this is because of its stainless steel fasteners, and this is why it is more resistant than other fences over time. be more and safer. Installing these types of fences is much easier and safer than mobile fences, and they have a much stronger and safer connection. Another concern of people is the shattering of glass, which is 4 times stronger than normal glass, so it never shatters. If these types of fences break, they will only turn into small and relatively safe pieces.
