Glass balustrades are a widely used product in the context of building works, in outdoor applications, but also in houses interiors, in public and private buildings. Although they may appear to be a simple and linear product, the glass parapets hide a series of technical complexities, both in terms of design and execution.

The type of balustrade to use is not dictated only by aesthetic reasons, but above all by the intended use. Among the requirements for the choice, the resistance to horizontal static linear load per linear meter, the maximum permissible bending and the behaviour to be respected in the event of breakage of one and/or both glasses are of importance.
