Heat Soaked Glass Balustrades: The Ultimate Blend of Safety and Style by DAG Inter
In today’s world of modern design, glass balustrades are synonymous with sleek aesthetics and contemporary elegance. However, safety is just as paramount as style when it comes to glass installations especially in high traffic areas or safety critical applications. At DAG Inter, we embrace innovation and quality by offering heat soaked glass balustrades that enhance both the beauty and safety of your interior design projects in Kent.
What Is Heat Soaked Glass?
Heat soaking is an additional process applied to toughened (tempered) glass after its standard tempering procedure. During this process, the glass panels are exposed to a controlled, elevated temperature typically around 280°C to 290°C for a set period. This rigorous treatment is designed to preemptively identify and fracture any panes containing nickel sulphide (NiS) inclusions. Although these inclusions are naturally present in standard float glass, they can cause delayed, spontaneous breakage in tempered glass over time. Heat soaking reduces this risk significantly, ensuring that only the safest and most reliable glass is used in your balustrade installations.
Why Heat Soaked Glass Balustrades Matter
When it comes to glass balustrades, particularly in public spaces, staircases and high rise buildings, any risk of spontaneous breakage is a serious concern.
Here’s why heat soaked glass is essential:
Enhanced Safety
The heat soaking process detects possible weaknesses before the glass is installed, reducing the risk of unexpected fracture during use. This proactive step is especially important for safety critical applications such as balustrades, where any failure could have significant consequences.
Compliance and Confidence
While not mandated by every British Standard, heat soaked glass is widely endorsed for installations in atriums, overhangs and areas with heavy foot traffic. By choosing heat soaked glass balustrades, you align with the highest safety standards and demonstrate a commitment to excellence.
Peace of Mind
With heat soaked glass, there is a dramatic reduction in the chance of spontaneous breakage providing reassurance to architects, builders and end users that your installation is both beautiful and reliable.
