A balustrade solution was installed at a private residence in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, adjoining two balcony areas – one large, exposed, first-floor terrace and an attached smaller, more private, covered space. Safety glass specialist TuffX was chosen to supply the glass.
For this job, TuffX supplied 25 panels of 15mm, clear, toughened safety glass, with dubbed corners. The finished balustrade extends around both balcony areas of the property, leaving the occupants able to enjoy natural light from three different directions.
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 is the solution great for unobstructed views, the toughened glass also protects residents from the elements, while being easy to maintain for long-lasting minimalist good looks, TuffX claims.
The smaller, private balcony area is set back in brickwork, and sits outside floor-to-ceiling glass, with sliding doors. The clear glass balustrade ensures that neither the light nor the views are interrupted for people inside, whether the doors are open or closed. The completed outside area combines glass, steel, wood and brick to create a stunning, contemporary space filled with complimentary textures that add to the luxury look and feel.
“Outdoor space has never been more of a premium,” said Graham Price, TuffX’s managing director. “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. 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.”
