Economic glass balustrades for housing associations
SB-Railing glass balustrades are very interesting for housing associations
and a responsible investment because of the price/quality ratio. The glass
balustrades are not just aesthetic delite but also very durable and low in
maintenance. Corrosion is basically not an issue and dirt does not attach
to glass. Stubborn dirt is not only ugly but also often the start of corrosion.
Glass balustrades are in part cleaned by nature (rain). It is possible that glass
balustrades may be slightly more expensive when compared to conventional
steel railings but the additional expense is more than compensated by their
long service life and the little maintenance that they require. SB-Railing glass
balustrades are, therefore, not only pleasing to the eye but also economically
justified.
Glass balustrades for the renovation market
The renovation market is a growing market. Flats were built en mass in the
1950s to tackle the housing shortage. Often, they have become sad buildings
without any frills that have now become obsolete technically and economically.
Sometimes the flats are demolished but more often, they are renovated.
SB-Railing glass balustrades are a good option when renovating these flats.
The existing balconies and galleries are often narrow; the glass balustrades
are fitted next to the floor and, therefore, do not take up any effective space.
Their durability and low maintenance requirements are important advantages.
