Design of a beautiful house facade is sometimes enclosed by a fence which tends massive wall. For those of you who want to avoid this phenomenon, glass fence can be an option.
Properties of translucent glass that makes the house look more exposure. Every detail of the shape and the material could take place unhampered. Even a green park area can be enjoyed from the outside of the home.
Although the nature of the glass is more fragile than other conventional materials, but did not reduce its function as protector of the home. “By using the glass fence so people will be more difficult to climb the fence,” said Hery Sulistyono, Adhi Graha Mandiri architect who had designed the glass fence before. That way, the thief so reluctant to break through.
But there are some things to consider in building a fence of glass, such as the use of tempered glass type with a minimum thickness 8mm-12mm. It is intended that the fence is more powerful and harmless when broken or cracked.
As for the “bind” the glass to be able to stand, it takes a “U” shaped clamp that is placed on the frame like a brick wall, reinforced concrete, aluminum or stainless steel.
This clamp can be either aluminum or overdraft given a layer of rubber or sealant. This serves to reduce vibration rubber on the glass so the potential for broken or cracked glass can be reduced.
Glass also should be installed at the height of 130cm-140cm. This avoids broken glass scratched or bumped hard objects that float when the vehicle passed by.
