How to choose glass railings
Decide the structure material (stainless steel or aluminium), the type of safety glass (laminated or tempered) and how it is fixed to the balcony or floor. Height and safety requirements are set by the project and building rules: ask your designer. Measurements are taken on site, and tempered glass cannot be cut after tempering.
