The choices you make as a homeowner seem endless. Between paint choices, finding the right fixtures, and contemplating tile, it’s easy to reach maximum overwhelm.
On the other hand, owning a home is your time to shine. This is your chance to curate your surroundings to match your personal style and chosen aesthetic. It’s an exciting time of making decisions and making memories — and you shouldn’t have to compromise.
At DekSmart, we make decision making a breeze with our high quality railing systems. With over 20 years of business, you can trust our frameless glass and aluminum railing systems to boost your outdoor space’s appeal, while never compromising safety & durability.
If you’re debating the choice between glass or aluminum railings — we’ve got you covered. This article will specifically cover the benefits of our glass deck railings, so you can determine which choice is best for you and your home.
1. Expansive Views
There’s no better feeling than winding down your day with an unparalleled view of the Okanagan. An unobstructed view through clear, tempered glass panels? Even better.
Traditional railings (although functional) may block your line of sight, making it difficult to really take in your surroundings. However, the sleek design of frameless glass railings system make it easy to enjoy your surroundings without the need to compromise in any way.
You can also preserve your privacy with our tinted and frosted tempered glass options, making for the perfect pairing to your outdoor space.
2. Wind Protection
As much as we’d like to, we can’t always predict the weather. On those days when the winds are extra high, you should still be able to peacefully make the most out of your deck views. Which is why in addition to our traditional glass railings, Deksmart offers Privacy / Wind Wall Glass railing systems. This secondary line of 10mm tempered glass acts as a barrier against the wind and your neighbours’ curious glances, creating a much more comfortable outdoor experience in any season.
3. Sound Dampening
There’s nothing worse than battling background noise in the middle of an lively conversation. Your outdoor space is meant to be your very own sanctuary, so why compete with additional sounds? Gass deck railings help to dampen excessive sound — so you can enjoy uninterrupted conversation, and a more serene outdoor atmosphere.
4. Glass Railing Installation is Hassle Free
The last thing you need is another home ownership headache. You can rest easy knowing you can install glass railings with virtually no extra hassle. The installation process is quick and easy, making them a practical and convenient choice for homeowners. Plus, at Deksmart, we offer comprehensive installation instructions, and a toll-free support line should you run into any trouble while installing glass railings.
5. A Touch of Style
In addition to gorgeous views and a noise free background, glass deck railings boast a sophisticated look, suitable for both a modern or traditional style. If you love clean lines and a modern design, a glass railing system is the way to go. Not only can you enjoy the high-end glass aesthetic, you can choose your desired colour of aluminum railings to match your outdoor space perfectly.
6. Easy to Maintain
One of the more desirable aspects of glass handrails & glass deck railings — they’re practically maintenance free. Not only are they extremely easy to clean (a simple wipe-down with glass cleaner will do), they’re also highly durable against external factors. DekSmart glass railings are made with powder coated aluminum, which makes them highly resistant to corrosion and rust. And unlike a wood system, you never have to worry about termites, mould, or rotting wood making their way into your patio space.
Save that extra time for other house-hold tasks (or making lasting memories with your loved ones).
8. A Safe Option
The safety of your family should never be up for debate. With a glass railing system, you can enjoy a classy look and serene atmosphere without ever having to lose sleep over your safety. Because glass panels are sleek and difficult to climb, you never have to worry about unwanted intruders. Plus, the tempered safety glass makes it extremely durable against even the most extreme weather conditions. They also make for a great additional safety feature around your pool, or any outdoor staircases — so you can enjoy maximum time outdoors, stress free.
8. Durable and Long-Lasting
Investing in glass deck railings means investing in durability and longevity. As mentioned above, glass railings are made with tempered glass and powder-coated aluminum. Unlike other metal railings made with iron or steel, aluminum can withstand the elements without sacrificing strength. You can also rest easy with DekSmart knowing we offer a 20 year limited warranty. The strength and resilience of this railing system means you can enjoy it year round, for many years to come.
