Glass Balustrade Maintenance: The Ultimate DIY Advantage

Q: I love the idea of a glass balustrade, but I'm worried about keeping it clean. Is it high-maintenance?

A: It’s quite the opposite! Glass is one of the most low-maintenance materials you can choose for a balustrade. Unlike wood, which needs regular staining or painting to prevent rot, or metal, which can rust or chip, a glass balustrade simply requires an occasional clean. A quick wipe-down with a glass cleaner is all it takes to keep it looking sparkling and brand new.

Q: What about scratches or damage? Is the glass fragile?

A: This is a common misconception. The glass we provide in our kits is not standard window glass. It's toughened safety glass, specifically manufactured to be incredibly strong and durable. It’s highly resistant to everyday knocks and scratches. For outdoor use, it's also built to withstand the elements without discolouring or becoming cloudy. You can rest assured your balustrade will stand up to the rigours of family life.

Q: If I install it myself, will I be able to easily replace a panel if something happens?

A: Yes, and this is another key advantage of a DIY kit. Because you understand how the system works and have access to our support and part numbers, replacing a single panel is straightforward. There's no need to call out an expensive professional. You can simply order a replacement panel from us, and with a few simple steps, you can have your balustrade looking perfect again, saving you time and money in the long run.
