The Importance of Material Selection in Glazing Hardware

Material choice plays a critical role in the performance and longevity of glazing hardware. Stainless steel, aluminium and specialist alloys each have distinct properties that make them suitable for different environments. 

Marine-grade stainless steel, for example, offers exceptional corrosion resistance, making it ideal for outdoor or coastal applications. Inferior materials may look similar initially but can degrade quickly when exposed to moisture and pollutants. 

At QGF, we emphasise material transparency. Understanding where and how a product should be used is essential to achieving reliable outcomes. 

Choosing the right material is not about over-engineering—it’s about selecting components that will perform consistently throughout the lifespan of the installation.
