• A glass railing is a very popular part of the
  infrastructure and is mostly used in the interior
  design of a given space or at the façade of any
  building. The most important feature about
  selecting a glass panel is making sure that it's
  safe. Safety is the primary concern. Hence, it's
  always advisable to purchase glass railings from
  a well-established and trusted organization. With
  a trusted and well-established organization,
  there is an assurance of the glass products used
  as the designing, the components involved,
  sections, the profile of the glass they all go
  through a deep engineering check and they are
  pre-registered by the organization itself.
  Various types of glass railings are used in any
  given infrastructure. They are discussed as
  follows-

• ? Post Glass Railings- This is preferred for its
  adequate security reasons and consists of metal
  posts and glass clips. These are most commonly
  used in commercial spaces.
• ? Base Rail Glass Railings- In this kind of
  railing, there is a particular section that is
  connected to the floor, and it moves along with
  the glass railings.
• ? Pin Glass Railings- This comprises small round
  shaped fittings, using which the glass railings
  are fitted/installed on a given surface.

• ? Talon Glass Railings- These are named talon
  glass railings because there are fittings called
  talons in which the glass is fixed.
• ? Ascend Talon Glass Railings- In this kind of
  railings, the posts of the talon brackets are
  enlarged, which acts as a safety factor.
• ? Seamless Glass Railings- These glass railings
  do not comprise any kind of boundary enclosures,
  they are continuous rows of transparent glass
  blocks arranged.

When it comes to key points of the value
engineering of glass railings, it comprises of

• ? Glass Always use toughened glass or semi
  tempered glass, this is also known as heat
  strengthened glass (HS). Whenever a toughened
  glass will be shattered, it will result in small
  pieces which will get accumulated in one cluster
  and will not hurt anyone. With toughened glass,
  you can consider using a thickness of 8mm- 12mm
  thickness. If you choose to use heat-strengthened
  glass, then always make sure that glass is SGP
  laminated. The major difference between toughened
  and heat strengthened glass is the size of the
  broken glass particles. Toughened glass breaks
  into slightly smaller pieces as compared to HS
  glasses.

When it comes to key points of the value
engineering of glass railings, it comprises of

• ? Aluminium- The mechanism of glass railings can
  also be developed using aluminium. It forms the
  extruded sections of the glass railings and they
  are tempered to increase their hardness. The
  colour coding on aluminium is done using powder
  coating of PVDF on the surface and by anodizing.
  Anodizing is cheaper than powder coating.
• ? Stainless Steel 304, 316 Grade- This is used
  to define the top rail fittings of the glass
  railings. The coating on SS is done to achieve a
  particular colour/design through PVD coating.
  This is quite costly, as compared to the other
  coating methods.
