Dual function of A Glass Fence

Design a beautiful house facade sometimes enclosed by walls that tend massivefence. For those of you who want to avoid this phenomenon, glass fencing can be an option.

The nature of the translucent glass makes the house look more exposed. Every detailof form and material unimpeded. Even a green park area can be enjoyed from theoutside of the house.


Although the nature of glass is more fragile than other conventional materials, but did not reduce its function as protector of the home. "By using glass fence so people will be more difficult to climb the fence," said Hery Sulistyono, architect Adhi GrahaMandiri which had previously designed the glass fence. That way, thieves so reluctant to break through.

But there are some things to consider in building the fence glass, such as the use oftypes of tempered glass with a minimum thickness of 8mm-12mm. It is intended thatthe fence is strong and harmless when broken or cracked.

As for the "binding" glass to be able to stand, it takes a clamp-shaped "U" are placedin order such as brick walls, reinforced concrete, aluminum or steel stainlees.

This clamp can be either aluminum or overdraft lis sekonengan a given layer of rubberor sealent. The rubber serves dampen vibrations on the glass so the potential forbroken or cracked glass can be reduced.

Glass also should be installed at the height of 130cm-140cm. This avoided scratchedor broken glass hit hard objects that float when the vehicle passes.

Interesting is not it?
