- Possibility of glass damage: Excessive pressure or poor quality of clamps can damage the edge of the glass.
- Limitations in complex designs: Curves or special designs are more difficult to implement.
- Need for careful alignment of clamps: Alignment is important to prevent the glass from tilting.
The Exposed Bracket Railing System is a practical and economical option for projects that are looking for a modern, easy-to-install glass railing, and for which the visibility of the connecting parts is not a priority.
