This process ensures that the glass is as strong as possible. Quenching of glass makes it 4x stronger than its original strength.

Infill panels are the elements which are part of the glass balustrade that act as a barrier between the outside world and the inside world. It can be made of wood, metal, or even plastic. Some balustrades have infill panels and some have rails, posts, and so on. It is very important to have railings which are attached to the sides of glass balustrades. Handrails are generally designed to support and support hand rails. Handrails are designed for people to hold onto. They are usually found on the top of the glass balustrade. Many staircases have handrails that help people hold onto the top part of the stairs while they are climbing or descending. Handrails prevent people from falling down a flight of stairs.
