can i install a glass balustrade outside

Glass balustrades are ideal for outdoor applications—balconies, terraces, pool fences—provided materials and finishes withstand weathering and thermal stresses. Archsky’s exterior-grade systems pair tempered laminated glass with marine-grade aluminum channels, posts, and handrails featuring anodized or powder-coat finishes rated for UV and salt corrosion resistance. Drainage slots in base shoes prevent water accumulation, while silicone gaskets cushion panels against thermal expansion. Glass panels are tempered to resist temperature differentials and laminated to retain integrity on impact. Always ensure proper anchoring to structural substrates with stainless-steel or aluminum fixings, and verify glass meets exterior load criteria (including wind uplift). With correct selection and installation, glass balustrades deliver an uninterrupted view horizon while enduring outdoor environments for decades.
