Strength and performance
TuffXsupplied 50m2 of laminated toughened glass to a prestigious residential property in the heart of Cheltenham’s countryside.
The owners of the property specified a bespoke glass balustrade to maximise the potential of an elevated terrace at the rear of the building, one that commands outstanding views over the surrounding area. The brief for the balustrade, which extends the entire length of the terrace as well as to a flight of steps leading up from a garden area, was two-fold: to be visually appealing, and to perform to strict structural and safety requirements.
TuffX was approached to supply 28 toughened and laminated panels, using 21.5mm glass, including polished edges and radius corners complete with 25mm diameter holes.
Graham Price, TuffX’s managing director, said: “This project is a perfect demonstration of how the addition of our laminated and toughened glass balustrades can improve an already very desirable property. We are seeing a growth in demand for our safety glass offering, particularly in impressive residential buildings such as this, as its strength and performance means that it is becoming increasingly popular with both homeowners and architects who want a visually appealing yet structurally sound solution to enhancing outside spaces.”
