ALL-ROUND GLASS SOLUTIONS

» A PRIVATE RESIDENCE IN GREAT Yarmouth recently required a balustrade solution for two adjoining outside balcony areas – one large , exposed and sociable open first-floor terrace and an attached smaller , more private , covered space . A glass balustrade provided the perfect answer , with leading safety glass specialists TuffX chosen to supply the glass .
TuffX supplied 25 panels of 15mm clear toughened safety glass with dubbed corners for the job . The finished balustrade extends around both balcony areas of the property , leaving the delighted occupants able to enjoy natural light from three different directions as the sun moves around the property throughout the day . The extensive glass balustrade makes the most of the home ’ s fantastic views over rolling countryside , and is topped with a safety handrail for additional comfort . Not only great for unobstructed views , the toughened glass also protects residents from the elements , while being easy to maintain for long-lasting minimalist good looks .
The smaller private balcony area is set back in brickwork and sits outside huge floor-to ceiling glass with sliding doors . With these doors open or closed , the clear glass balustrade ensures neither the light nor the views are interrupted for those inside . The completed outside area combines glass , steel , wood and brick finishes to create a stunning , contemporary space filled with complimentary textures that add to the luxury look and feel .
“ Oudoor space has never been more of a premium . And whether it ’ s for large , open spaces or smaller more private areas – or both at the same time , as this property shows – our toughened safety glass is ideal for great looking , safe and practical balustrades ,” said TuffX ’ s Managing Director Graham Price .
“ Whatever you or your customers are looking for , for commercial or residential purposes , at TuffX we have the advice and the know-how to help make it happen .”
