What are the key design considerations when installing frameless glass balustrades?

Frameless glass balustrades are a popular choice for modern architectural designs due to their sleek and minimalist appearance. 

Ensure high-quality tempered or toughened glass is used to ensure safety and durability. The glass should be crystal clear with minimal distortion for optimal aesthetics.

Concealed fixings and minimalist hardware are essential to maintain a clean, frameless look. Consider using stainless steel or aluminum clamps or channels for secure yet discreet attachment while using frameless glass balustrades.

Check local building codes and safety regulations for glass balustrades, including height requirements and load-bearing specifications. Incorporate subtle details like rounded edges or beveled corners to enhance safety and aesthetics.
