Carrying Out Construction Work

Posted on: 30 September 2019

Living in the countryside has many different benefits. Not only do you get to enjoy more space in the neighbourhood, but you can also enjoy breathtaking views of hills, plains and water bodies. There are many interior design options you can make for your countryside home. You may find yourself with your hands full selecting floors, window coverings and living room furniture. However, don't forget to consider your fencing options.

Elevated patios, balconies and verandas work well with glass balustrades of many different designs. Glass creates a continuous, clear and attractive landscape in your rural home. It also acts as the perfect backdrop to a broad range of architectural designs, making it perfect for rural applications. Here are some installation ideas for custom glass balustrades in your countryside home (and the associated benefits).    

1.    Vary frame designs and thickness

Glass balustrades work best if your home overlooks open plains or coastal views. You can use balustrades to create a boundary fencing that is safe, non-obtrusive and secure. By varying the frame design and glass panel thickness, you can match the theme of your home in many different ways. For example, thick anodised panels work well if your home has large glass doors/windows. You can also use these thicker panels to vary colours and shapes. If you prefer thinner frames, steel/aluminium fittings can hold your glass panels in place quite well.      

2.    Easy cleaning and maintenance

Glass balustrade panels come with special coating materials that make them stain-proof, streak-proof and sanitary. This means that occupants in your home will be protected from bacterial infections that would otherwise occur from germs on the glass surface.

Having specially-coated glass balustrades means that you can enjoy durability, style and kerb appeal at a lower overall cost in your countryside property.  

3.    Get a clearer view of your landscape

If your countryside home is designed to blend in with the landscape, you can't go wrong with glass balustrades. Glass provides a seamless, attractive view of your entire landscape as soon as you walk out of the door.

Selecting the right glass panels will determine how attractive your view is. For example, coated glass won't stain or become streaky from outdoor conditions. You should also opt for transparent glass that allows enough light to pass through.   

4.    Sturdy glass panels for safety

Glass balustrades are also excellent for safety. If you have young children, you can prevent accidents by installing balustrades on raised patios. The glass will elevate your kerb appeal without affecting the daily routines of children and pets. Furthermore, thick glass panels can prevent cracks and breaks (which further contribute to safety).
