Exterior glass, balustrades and handrails face unique winter challenges: water ingress, freeze-thaw cycles and salt exposure. These factors need considered product selection and planned maintenance to ensure longevity.
Specification tips
-
Use laminated toughened glass for safety and delamination protection.
-
316 stainless steel fixings and marine-grade handrails resist corrosion in coastal or exposed sites.
-
Ensure drainage paths and gaskets are specified to avoid standing water.
Maintenance checklist
-
Inspect fixings & sealants.
-
After storms: check for loose fixings, wipe salt deposits and document for warranty records.
Conclusion
Specifying for the climate reduces call-backs and keeps your installations lasting decades. Offer a low-cost yearly check contract to commercial clients — valuable recurring income.
