Glass and glazing in Upington
Upington lies on the Orange River in the Green Kalahari, where vineyards, date palms and desert heat meet. Plastered homes with stoeps, courtyards and pools use glass for sliding doors and pool-facing windows, and river lodges and guest houses add large glass frontages. Summer temperatures often pass 40 degrees, so sun-facing panes heat up, thermal stress breakage is a real risk for large annealed glass, and solar control glass and film help keep rooms cool. Hard water leaves scale on shower glass. Local glaziers handle repairs, and toughened panes come mostly from Cape Town or Gauteng processors, a long haul that adds to the lead time.
Typical glass balustrades requests in the area come from:
- Family homes: a frameless glass balustrade along the upstairs balcony or deck of a family home
- Farms, lodges and guest houses: a glass balustrade on a raised timber deck overlooking the bush, dam or vineyard
- Shops, restaurants and malls: a glass balustrade around a mezzanine, restaurant deck or mall walkway edge
- Offices, clinics and schools: glass balustrades around an atrium void, mezzanine floor or open staircase landing
- Security and golf estates: a clean frameless glass balustrade along a view deck, mezzanine or entertainer's patio
- New builds and developments: balustrade glass measured once the slab and tiling are done on a new double-storey
