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.

Glass Floor

Some people may be amazed to see if the glass floor. That may be happening. Especially thick glass of the type that can be used as a double laminated flooring. Glass of this type can be a combination of two 8mm thick glass.

Although it can be used as a floor, not that the glass can be applied arbitrarily. There are certain requirements that must be met. For example, installing iron frame as a holder. This framework should be shaped grid or plaid maximum size 60cmx60cm per box. Is it hard to make it?

Actually not really. Most important, when making sure the framework is strong, flat, and flat. Two things are important to keep the glass is not curved when trampled. If the curved glass when stepped on, then open the possibility of cracked and broken glass.

Glass has become one of the unique flooring material. Besides glass, unique floor can also be created from its use. Glass material is now being applied in a lot of space, not just for walls and terraces. Glass to the floor will be more beautiful with the surface is left rough and large grout. You can also use iron as a floor. This one is not common, but looks can be very impressive.

Glass floor is widely used in residences as a room accent, do not worry about the strength when trampled when the thickness is taken into account thoroughly. For floor size 30 cm x 30 cm minimum thickness of 19 mm for strongly support the weight of the body. To select the type of security that has been laminated tempered glass for cracks or breaks when there does not hurt our feet.

Window

Glass is considered as raw materials that seem fragile and easily broken. But when laying and selected the right type, glass can be applied to many buildings elements, such as replacement walls, floors, and even stairs.

To achieve glass function optimally, it's good to pay attention to certain technical requirements for safe use and durable. The need for thin thick glass is highly dependent on its use, the extent of which will be attached and the material support or frame. The larger the field and the fewer the framework of his crutch, the thick glass to be used.

Sunlight and humidity are high enough to cause the glass was chosen as materials that can help manage the condition of the building to be comfortable for occupancy. There is a standard placement of openings in the building commonly adopted as cardinal directions north-south to reduce the entry of sunlight. Due to located on the east-west direction in accordance with the sunrise and sunset, rays that enter the building too much, now it's hard sometimes hard to do given the limited land owned for building.

With the glass, do not hesitate to put the building opening with the direction of sunrise and sunset. There are special types of glass-coated can reduce incoming sunlight with a maximum with glass coating. The use of glass in the window need not be too thick enough to five mm with the assumption that the size of 1m x 1m. However, openings on soundproofing insulation space, the glass must have a minimum thickness of ten mm consisting of two or more sheets of glass and equipped with a kind of air cavity.
