Glass handrail and guardrail can be found in nearly every type of construction project – from high school stairwells to sophisticated rooftop lounges, luxury homes to hospitals. Just as diverse as their sites of installation, glass handrail and guardrail systems can be installed in a wide range of sizes, designs, and materials to best suit the function they provide. In this article, we detail the various elements architects, designers, and glaziers take into account when selecting the right handrail and guardrail systems for the job. In the industry, the terms handrail and guardrail are often paired together, but they actually refer to two separate types of installations. “Handrail” describes the support installed in staircases, ramps, and walkways, while “guardrail” is built as a structural barrier on balconies, terraces, bridges, and other open edges where individuals could fall and injure themselves. While support and safety are their primary functions, both handrail and guardrail are often designed to add aesthetic value to a space.
Glass walls, doors and partitions provide beautiful, effective solutions for retaining balance and brightness within a space. When installed as the barrier separating interiors and exteriors, glass walls and doors merge the sanctuary and comfort of the indoors with the freshness, light, and beauty of nature. When used to separate interior spaces, these installations enhance dynamism and create areas of refuge without diminishing the brightness and clarity of their surroundings. DMV Area Glass Repairs’ expertise includes hinged glass doors, bi-fold systems, sliding doors, pocket doors, folding walls, fixed panels, floor-to-ceiling windows, glass cubicles, and more. With their beauty and clarity, these installations make a welcome addition to a wide range of residential and commercial environments, including retail spaces, offices, hotels and restaurants, corporate headquarters, healthcare and educational facilities, museums, art

Resolution: The size 6 handed closers will have the most (strongest) closing force. The 4016 (pull side), the 4026 (top jamb push side) or the 4116 (push side parallel arm) have the highest closing force. For doors installed at exterior locations, the closer should be mounted inside of the building where possible.
