Glass railings usually use tempered glass as a panel. Due to the properties of tempered glass, debris formed during the crushing process does not cause harm to the human body, while laminated glass is used by high-rise users. When the glass is broken, the film in the middle of the lamination glass is bonded to the glass fragments. Broken glass doesn't fall off and hurt people.
Glass height:
The minimum height requirement for all glass railings should be 0.9m from the height of the stand to the height of the armrest. In addition, if you intend to install glass railings outside the building, the minimum height of the armrests must be 1.1m high. The reason for this is self-evident, mainly to protect adventurous adults, children and animals and other people from accidental falls!
Loading requirements:
When planning the thickness and style of a particular railing, three load requirements need to be met: the horizontal load on the armrest, the vertical load on the armrest, and the load on the filler.
In general, the deflection caused by heavy objects must not exceed 25mm. As a result, the materials you source from glass suppliers must be very durable to cope with the potential for life!
As a rule of law, household glass railings must be loaded at 0.74 kN / m per meter. The thickness of tempered or laminated glass fillers must also be at least 10mm.
The laminate glass is always strong, but the distributed and point loads of the fillers must be tested to ensure that the fillers in the center of the laminate can withstand evenly distributed weights and pressure to concentrate on a small point.
The minimum tempered glass used in glass railings is 10mm and can also be used in other thicknesses: 12mm, 15mm, 19mm.
Tempered laminated glass, 6 plus 1.52 plus 6,8 plus 1.52 plus 8,10 plus 1.52 plus 10,12 plus 1.52 plus 12, etc.
Other surface treatments, such as screen printing, can make the glass have more patterns, self-cleaning treatment can guarantee a 10-year warranty, anti-reflective glass can improve the glass's visible light transmission rate, all of which can make the glass guardrail more beautiful.
