Glass and glazing in Durban
Durban is a warm, humid coastal city where glass is used on sea-view balconies, high-rise apartments, bathrooms and shopfronts from Umhlanga and Berea to Westville. Salt air eats cheap fittings and clamps, so grade 316 stainless is the usual question for balustrades and showers. Heavy summer rain and humidity cause condensation and mould on seals. Wind loads on upper floors matter for balustrade glass, and body corporates often set rules for balcony changes. Smash-and-grab risk keeps laminated glass in demand. The metro has several glass processors and merchants, so toughened panes are available locally, and suppliers also deliver to the South Coast, North Coast and inland hills.
Typical glass roofs and canopies requests in the area come from:
- Coastal homes and holiday flats: a glass roof over a beach-side patio, with fittings and sealants made for salt air
- Apartments and complexes: a glass canopy over a ground-floor patio or a skylight in a top-floor flat
- Family homes: a glass canopy over the front door or a glass-roofed patio next to the braai
- Security and golf estates: a laminated glass roof over a covered entertainment area or architectural entrance walkway
- Offices, clinics and schools: a glass canopy over an office entrance or a skylight above an atrium or reception
- Shops, restaurants and malls: a glass canopy over a shopfront or covered walkway that keeps shoppers dry
