Aluminum railings with glass panels

Nowadays, aluminum railings with glass panels are very popular. They are a lasting and reliable choice, and provide the desired coziness and comfort. This type of railings is growing in demand for the construction of homes with a view.

Why choose aluminum railings with glass panel?

Glass panels in variety of shape, color and thickness can be placed in between the aluminum columns of the railing. They are mounted by special holders attached to the columns of the railings. They are suitable for balconies and verandas with a view.

Tempered glass pane

Tempered glass pane is aimed to provide a greater safety, sturdiness and security. During the process of manufacturing, the glass, pre-treated and cut to size, is subjected to high temperature heating and then to a rapid cooling. Once the annealing is done, the glass can no longer be cut, edged, drilled or undergo any other treatment apart from matting and lamination. To make this glass, it is first cut and treated, then it is placed in the annealing furnace. In the furnace the glass is heated up to 700ºC, then it is moved to the cooling section, via computer control, in which it is cooled rapidly by high-pressure air. This rapid cooling causes high compression and stress in the glass as a result its nucleus remains under pressure. Although the physical characteristics remain unchanged, the additional tensions created within the glass, increases its thermal and mechanical strength.

The advantages of the tempered glass panel

  • Safety - The probability of the tempered glass pane to break is minimal, however in case it does it will break into small pieces, thus reducing greatly the risk of injuries.
  • Sturdiness - Tempered glass has great mechanical strength and it is 4 to 5 times sturdier than untempered glass with the same thickness. This is due to the tension generated during the annealing. It also has a greater thermal sturdiness than regular glass and can withstand a difference in temperature of 250ºC. It is stable at temperatures ranging from -70º to 300°C.
  • Security - Tempered glass is much more difficult to break as opposed to float or laminated glass.
  • Sound - Tempered glass has the same sound insulation characteristics as ordinary monolithic glass.
  • Solar control - Tempered glass preserves the same solar qualities, as the glass that was subjected to annealing.

Laminated glass panes

Glass can be laminated – Triplex. Laminated glass is also safe glass. Unlike tempered glass (Sekurit) the Triplex has other advantages and properties. Triplex glass is made of two layers of clear glass that are glued (laminated) with a stable colorless PVB layer between the glass panels. If Triplex glass breaks in a road accident, from an impact with a solid object in motion, or in an attempted burglary or in other instances, the Triplex does not break into sharp pieces, but into individual fragments that remain glued to the film, thus it cannot injure people located near the broken glass. Even when broken and cracked the triplex glass does not fall apart and remains like a barrier against other influences, which is a great advantage.

Tinted glass

Glass for railings can be tinted in different colors. The technology of production of tinted glass is similar to that of the colorless float since in the beginning of its manufacturing process metal oxides are added to the main raw materials, that allow the corresponding color variations – green, blue, gray, bronze. In addition to the benefits provided by their distinctive aesthetics, tinted float glass is primarily designed to reduce solar heat, UV exposure and reflections inside the building.

Tinted float glass achieves its features by absorbing solar energy, thus sometimes it is referred to as heat absorbing glass. This heat absorbing quality means that the glass is under thermal pressure, thus some thicker or darker products may need to be tempered in order to avoid breakage by thermal stress.

The advantages of the tinted glass

  • Gray glass - Characterized by low light transmission and good solar and reflection control.
  • Bronze tinted glass - The bronze tinted glass is designed to reduce solar heat and reflection, but also to provide a greater light transmittance as opposed to the one the gray glass provides.
  • Green glass - Green glass was originally used in the automotive industry as it has very elevated light transmission properties. However, modern green shades offer a better solar performance with a better light transmittance than that of the gray and bronze shades.
  • Dark blue glass - Dark blue glass is an alternative to gray and bronze glass, and has similar properties.
  • Light blue glass - Light blue glass is ideal if you require a thicker glass with an elevated light transmission.

Tinted glass can be treated, tempered, laminated and bent. They are used for solar control, since they absorb more heat than the transparent glass and emit most of the absorbed heat outside by means of natural convection.
