Key Features of Glass Wind Walls
Glass wind walls are similar to framed glass railing systems, but they differ in several ways. Key features of glass wind walls include:
Leading Visibility and Wind Protection
Large glass panels allow for complete visibility of surrounding landscapes while minimizing the impact of wind. While picket-based railing systems allow for great visibility, the gaps in the system allow cold wind to pass through with ease. With glass panels that are 30” wide and 54” tall, you can expect optimal wind protection for any area of your home, minimizing cold drafts and airborne debris. Glass wind walls are ideal for areas around pools and hot tubs as they can help keep occupants warm even during windy weather. By utilizing tempered glass, every wind wall system is highly durable and can withstand harsh environmental conditions.
Easy Installation
All glass wind walls feature factory attached sleeved brackets on the posts that simplify and expedite the assembly process, allowing you to enjoy the view as soon as possible. Glass panels can be easily slid into each post, making the final assembly simple and straightforward. While conventional wooden systems often require special tools and additional materials, our glass wind walls can be assembled with standard tools and include everything you need to get the job done right.
Minimal Maintenance
Wood, and steel railing systems require varying degrees of ongoing maintenance to prevent rust, rot, or corrosion. Our powder-coated aluminum railing systems are virtually maintenance free as they require no painting, staining, or intensive cleaning. Each glass panel only requires occasional cleaning with a glass-based cleaning product, minimizing maintenance requirements over time. This allows you to spend less time cleaning and more time enjoying your view.
