Glass railings are gaining significant traction in Toronto and beyond, celebrated for their sleek, modern style. However, safety remains paramount when incorporating this elegant feature into any space. In this blog post, we will explore the crucial safety considerations for glass railings and demonstrate why RF Transparent shines as an industry leader in safety.
The Safety of Glass Railings: A Top Priority
While the refined look of glass railings adds sophistication to any space, RF Transparent prioritizes your safety above all else. We recognize the importance of ensuring that these railings are not only visually appealing but also rigorously designed to meet stringent safety requirements.
Adhering to the Ontario Building Code and Engineering Testing Standards
In Ontario, glass railings must adhere to the rigorous standards outlined in the Ontario Building Code (OBC). It’s essential to inquire about engineering testing and certification when choosing a manufacturer or contractor. RF Transparent is proud to surpass these standards, ensuring that our products not only meet but exceed OBC regulations. Our unwavering commitment to safety is reflected in our extensive testing and certification, ensuring that every railing we produce is both beautiful and reliable.
The RF Transparent Edge: Superior Glass Thickness and Tempering
While the industry standard thickness for glass railings is generally 10mm, RF Transparent distinguishes itself by exclusively using 12mm-thick glass, providing enhanced structural strength and improved durability. Our thicker glass ensures a safer railing built to withstand the challenges of time and wear.
In addition, we use only tempered glass, which undergoes a specialized heat treatment to strengthen it. Should breakage occur, tempered glass shatters into relatively harmless fragments, reducing the risk of injury. We leave no detail overlooked in delivering railings that prioritize your safety.
Rock-Solid Structural Integrity
A robust structure is crucial to the safety and stability of any glass railing system. Our team at RF Transparent ensures that all structural components, such as posts and balusters, are crafted with uncompromising strength to meet and exceed industry safety standards and building codes.
Choosing RF Transparent means selecting glass railings that offer not only unmatched beauty but also reliable structural integrity.
