Glass Railings | September 3, 2020

Many homeowners are often torn between choosing deck railings that enhance the view and railings that will improve safety. If you are one of these homeowners, learning about the different benefits of glass railings will help you realize that you can have a railing that offers both better views and increased safety features. At Vista Railings, we understand how important it is to purchase the right railings for your deck. That is why we carry a selection of both framed glass railings and frameless glass railings.

1. Allows for Unobstructed Views

If you are looking to enhance the view from your deck, glass railings are the perfect solution for you. Since the tempered glass panels used for glass railing systems are virtually invisible, installing glass railings will allow you to enjoy unobstructed views from anywhere on the deck. Glass railings will also allow more natural light onto the deck, making it easier to enjoy the outdoor space throughout the year.

2. Requires Little Maintenance

Unlike other types of railing systems such as wood and iron, glass railing systems require little maintenance to keep it looking like new, as they are not really affected by exposure to sun or rain. To keep your glass railings looking pristine, simply clean them with soap and water whenever they look dirty.

3. Offers Safety and Durability

One of the biggest concerns that homeowners have about glass railings is that they will not be as safe. Glass railings are actually incredibly safe and extremely durable, making them ideal for protecting against accidental falls on decks and staircases. This type of deck railing can also be used as safety fencing around swimming pools, as it offers a clear view of the pool while also providing a barrier for small children and pets.

4. Can be Customized for any Deck

Glass railings are incredibly flexible and versatile and can be customized to fit any deck space. In addition to being custom fitted to your exact deck, glass railings are also available in different styles (framed and frameless), making it easy to find the perfect glass railings for your exact wants and needs.
