Safety precautions for buildings with children should be one of the most important reasons to keep in mind as far as design goes. With their sleek appearance and high safety factor, glass stair railings are an excellent choice when it comes to providing a sense of openness, but how safe are these installations for children, and can they safely combine aesthetics with protection?
In this blog, we’ll examine our GYPSE glass balustrade system and how, as a leader in the metal industries in the UAE, we believe this glass stair railing combines elegance with security.
Glass stair railings are highly regarded for their aesthetic value, creating visual appeal by creating an illusion of space. By seamlessly integrating with a variety of interior styles, they, along with glass balustrades, provide more free-flowing light within any one area of a building. Our GYPSE system adds to this with a stylish “metal effect” that comes together with a minimalist, scalable design. This makes GYPSE a top option as either a glass stair railing or a glass balustrade for new builds or renovations, featuring the kind of versatility homeowners hoping to modernize their living spaces ought to consider.
Any building expected to house children needs to will need to make several important considerations so that they are simultaneously safe and durable. These are:
High-quality materials go a long way in extending the lifespan of glass stair railings and glass balustrades. GYPSE by Technal uses only the best in stainless steel, wood, glass, and composite panels. This helps to meet safety standards and gives building owners peace of mind in the durability of the glass railing design for balconies Technal is known for.
Glass stair railings need to be child-friendly, from their design through to their construction. Available in single or double-post varieties, the GYPSE system's double-post variation is ideal for architectural projects where glass balustrades are an important component. Meanwhile, the single-post is better suited to renovations. Both versions offer superior safety features via their handrail options, all of which provide secure grips for children.
With multiple installation options available (slab, slab nose, or front-face panel), GYPSE from Technal is designed to meet the highest safety standards. Our system offers superior stability through a pair of fixing points on all its base plates. GYPSE glass balustrades and glass stair railings are also tested to comply with the latest standards by making sure their capacity for supporting weight and pressure is always at peak efficiency, a feature that makes their inclusion in any building for children a key benefit.
The GYPSE system offers extensive design flexibility, allowing homeowners to customize their glass railings to suit their specific needs and preferences. Infills can be positioned on the outside face, inside face, or between the posts, and a wide variety of infill options are available, including vertical railings, running bands, and various glass and sheet metal designs. This customization ensures that the railings not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of the home but also provide a safe environment for children.
