05 Mar When to Consider Glass Railing for Your Home: A Stylish and Practical Renovation Option
“I’m redoing the outside of my house, landscaping deck, fire pit etc. My husband wants glass railings but I can’t justify the price. What do you suggest and any other things you think we should include in our backyard/front yard?”
Glass railings have become increasingly popular in modern home design, offering a sleek and sophisticated aesthetic while providing several practical benefits. Whether you’re renovating an existing home or planning new construction, knowing when to incorporate glass railings can enhance both the safety and aesthetics of your living space.
To be really honest, I don’t think installing glass railings is worth it unless you live on the water. Additionally, since adding glass railings is somewhat expensive, I would forego doing so. To be honest, I just like some lighting. So, you have some solar lighting or something similar. A lot of people say things like, “Oh, I’ve flaked down to the fire pit; I have this; I have that; blah blah,” but at night it’s completely dark. Obviously, having some lighting just adds to the ambiance and mood. It would also be very useful if you could create a small, charming pergola area with string lights and other features. You could even use it for seats and a hot tub.
