You have seen quite a few glass staircase balustrades and as your home remodel is coming up you are wondering whether they are something that you ought to think about. Glass staircase balustrades have become rather common in recent years and it is because they come with several important benefits. Read on to find out what they are:
•    A glass staircase balustrade is a great way to make your home look bigger without adding any square footage. The glass reflects light creating the illusion of a bigger space. If you live in a small home this is one way to add space to it without really adding any space.
•    A glass staircase balustrade is a good idea if you have small children. When you have wood staircase railings there is always the chance that a child will stick his head through the rails and get stuck. Not with glass – it is one continuous panel so your children are safe at all times.
•    Some people worry that glass can break and cause untold damage and even injuries. This will not happen because glass banisters are made out of a material called tempered glass. It is strengthened to ensure that it doesn’t break even when it experiences high impacts. In fact, many people choose glass staircase balustrades because they last a long time.
•    A glass balustrade will not need much by way of maintenance. You clean it the same way you clean your window panes – a bit of a wipe and a polis and you are good to go. Wood, on the other hand, requires polishing every few months.
Talk to Go Glass – they are premier installers of glass balustrades in Cambridge and surrounding areas.

Your child recently got stuck in the balustrade and it took the efforts of fire fighters to set him free. How can you make sure that it never happens again? You are not alone – children getting body parts stuck in balustrades is a rather common problem and while some parents hope that the lesson is learned and the child will never repeat the mistake, there is something you can do to eliminate the possibility – you can install glass staircase balustrades all over your home. These balustrades, as the name suggests, are made of glass panels so there is no place for your child to stick their head through.
Glass staircase balustrades come with more benefits than just the safety of your child. They are made of extremely tough glass which means that it will be a long time before you need to install new balustrades. The glass itself is made to resist high impact, so your child will not be able to break it.
The other benefit of glass balustrades is that they are easier to maintain than wood. When you have a wood balustrade it starts to look worn after some time and you have to hire someone to sand and polish it and restore it to its former glory. Glass balustrades are the opposite – they are scratch proof and chip proof and all you need to do is wipe them clean. As for cost, glass balustrades may cost more depending on the kind of wood you are comparing them to, but you ought to consider the fact that they last for many years and require very little maintenance.

You have some glass and mirror work in your Cambridge home and with so many vendors you are wondering which one you should choose. Choosing glass and mirror vendors is not easy – if you make mistake you will handle lots of losses and your project will be delayed. Even worse, they may make installations that aren’t strong enough and can lead to serious accidents. Here is what you should take into account as you evaluate these vendors:
•    Find out where they get their glass from. True, glass is glass, but the process that goes into making it differs which is why some types of glass are stronger than others. If you want strong glass that will last you should find a vendor who sells glass that is made in the UK.
•    The best vendors will not sell you glass before they understand your project and what you want to achieve with the glass and mirrors. They will even come to your home to see what kind of space you are working with so that they can recommend the best solutions.
•    It is best to hire a vendor who also does installation – it saves you time to work with the same vendor and if there are problems you know who is responsible. Make sure that their installation work is top-notch and that you get a guarantee in case things don’t work out.
•    Make sure that you do comparison shopping before you buy. You should ask a few glass installers to send you quotes and then choose the best one. That is not to say that you should choose the cheapest one, but rather the one who can make high quality installations at a price that you can afford.
