Glass balustrades can be offered in a variety of guises and can be used as safe and tough structural barriers or simply as a balustrade infill.
Some of the examples produced by PLG can be found in The British Museum, Trafford Centre, AIB Headquarters in Dublin as well as many stores, offices, shopping complexes and homes throughout the UK and Ireland.
Glass thickness for this application tends to be from 10mm to 25mm and is normally toughened, laminated or, more recently, toughened and laminated where the strength of toughened combined with the laminating gives extra integrity.
Our technical department offers a general guidance for glass thickness relating to loads for various types of installation.
Glass proves to be extremely cost effective when used in these situations as it is easy to install and maintain.
Balustrade glass can also be decorated with either colour or etching and some stunning visual effects have been achieved with the co-operation of architects, interior designers, artists and clients.
