The use of glass for the staircase

The stairs made of glass is less commonly used. The main reason is more due to feeling less confident as he stepped to ride. But it can be overcome by using tempered glass material that has been laminated type size of at least 12 mm thick with broad assumptions 25cm x 80 cm / sheet stairs. Note also the structures that sustain it for the glass staircase to stick perfectly and did not shake when in use.

As with the railing staircase made from glass that has been commonly used in buildings. Laying it as a barrier and a safety ladder is less emphasis on strength, so just have a thickness of ten mm with an area of 1m x 1m is fit for use.

While railing glass for this application, should not be indiscriminate. Given the nature of the glass is fragile and easily broken, need extra attention in choosing and installing it. For the staircase and balcony railing, for example. If not strong enough, can-can while leaning against broken glass. As a result, people could be injured because of broken glass or even worse, falling from a balcony or staircase.

Let this be avoided note the thickness of glass used. The thicker the glass, the more secure. Ideal thickness of glass that can be categorized as safe is between 12mm and 15mm. Choice of any type of glass can not be arbitrary. The most secure, use tempered glass on this one type of glass is relatively safe, because besides stronger than ordinary glass, grain fractions will be relatively smooth.

In addition to glass type, system installation must also be considered. There are two ways of installation, can be planted or using stainless steel fittings. Cropping systems should be done since the beginning of house construction. While the system with stainless steel fittings can be done anytime. When you wish to replace the wood railing with glass, for example.
