Vandal-proof railings

Vandal-resistant railings and fall protection - Hammerglass

Hammerglass's multifunctional balustrade solutions provide a transparent and attractive barrier for effective wind and noise protection. Our systems are used as safety barriers at bus stations and arenas, as fall protection on stands and walls, and as railings for stairs and balconies. We specifically customize the design of the posts and fixings to ensure secure installation of our shatter-resistant, shatter-proof glazing solutions.

Options that last

With a strength 300 times greater than that of glass and half the weight of glass, Hammerglass is an attractive alternative for public spaces.

• The banister on the way down to the platform is still intact after the weekend - no broken glass
• Unbreakable glass in the kindergarten's outdoor play area ensures children's safety and reduces traffic noise, while providing a clear view of the surrounding area
• Bevelled edges and rounded corners on the fall protection for stands minimize the risk of cuts
• Graffiti on the transparent windscreen of the sports restaurant can be easily removed

The importance of splinter-free guard rails

It's five o'clock, and many people have finished work—office workers, schoolchildren, mothers with strollers—they're all on their way home. There's a crowd at the bus stop—then the bus arrives.

Shatter-proof railing solutions made of Hammer Glass create an effective barrier between passengers and arriving buses at the bus station. If something goes wrong, a balustrade that doesn't scatter glass shards can be crucial. Our guardrails are supplied with fixed or openable sections. The panels are mounted to the existing balustrade structure, a Hammer Glass post system, or with project-specific mounting solutions.

Unbreakable glass in stairwells

Stairways leading to the schoolyard, the railway yard, and public open spaces are prone to vandalism. With Hammerglass replacing glass in the parapet panels, vandals are less likely to have a go at it, because the glass simply won't break.

With Hammerglass, the embarrassment of broken glass after acts of vandalism, the high costs of cleaning, and the replacement of heavy and difficult-to-handle glass panels are eliminated. The panels are mounted to the existing railing structure, a Hammerglass post system, or with project-specific fixing solutions. Mounting the handrails directly into the Hammerglass panels works very well.

Fall protection for arenas and stands

The home team scores goals, the crowd cheers, and the pressure in the stands increases. When large numbers of people are gathered in a confined space, the risk of accidents increases. Using Hammerglass for spectator protection instead of laminated or tempered glass reduces this risk.

Our shatter-proof solutions can be installed in most public arenas (shown here in the Swedish National Arena). The panels are manufactured with rounded corners and beveled edges to prevent the risk of cuts. They can be mounted to the existing balustrade structure, a Hammerglass post system, or with specially designed mounting solutions.

Noise barriers as fall protection...

The Hammerglass noise barrier system can also be used as transparent protection around playgrounds or skate parks in the city center. It's ideal for daycare centers, kindergartens, or schools in busy urban areas.Effective noise reduction combined with a clear view contributes to a good outdoor environment for adults and children of all ages.

Artistic prints, colors and flashes

Hammer glass is typically supplied as clear or opal sheets. However, for larger series, it is possible to produce colored impregnated hammer glass. Hammer glass sheets can also be screen-printed or provided with a four-color photographic print to create a vibrant and attractive street environment.

A printed or color-impregnated hammered glass panel with strategically placed LED lighting creates a striking effect that forms an attractive point of light in the nighttime darkness.
