AGC Glass UK and OnLevel UK are pleased to announce that Stratobel Strong laminated safety glass is now certified in OnLevel’s frameless balustrade systems TL6020, TL3020 and Skyforce Juliet balcony for loads up to 0.74kN.
When specifying glazing in construction projects, there are now many opportunities to address more than one issue, as Susan Sinden, Marketing Manager for glass processor ESG Group, explains.
Why do people like glass balustrades? Because they’re stylish, easy to maintain, bring a sense of airiness and space, and, most of all, let in natural light and make the most of scenic views.
As temperatures rise and the amount of daylight increases each day, designers and homeowners alike start to turn their attention to the great outdoors. The first waft of freshly cut grass in the air often signals the start of outdoor preparations and our desire to get our gardens looking great for outdoor living.
Toughened laminated glass has, quite literally, different layers which help to make it a first choice for architects, shopfitters, partitioners and balustrade suppliers, as Susan Sinden, Commercial Manager for ESG Group Ltd, explains.
Nigel Hearnden, Business Development Manager of ESG Group, examines the case for a return to the use of glass panels in balconies and balustrades above 18 metres from ground level.
Glass balustrades are one of the fastest-growing glazing products in Europe and F.H. Brundle have the widest range of innovative, stylish and installer-friendly, handrailing and balustrade ranges available.
Powdertech (Corby) Ltd has recently completed work galvanising, fettling and powder coating over two thousand steel balustrades, each around 1m in length, for an impressive development situated on the edge of Manchester.
