A glass balustrade can give a very beautiful when used on a porch that overlooks a view because the clear material can give anybody an unobstructed view of the whole scenery before them. However, because these things are clean and pristine, they can also be very dangerous. If there are small children around the house or during gatherings, it is very easy for one of them to thrust their hands or heads into the glass material.
This can be harmful for people under the influence too. Although using a safety glass which shatters into shards that are not sharp can lessen these chances, they are still very dangerous. If the porch is elevated, persons could go through the glass material and find themselves hanging over the edge. This can lead to serious injuries and even fatal falls. Before the installation of these elegant balustrades, people might want to think about having safety precautions in case they break. Definitely, these structures do not fit the lifestyles of all kinds of people.
Even if safety is not a great issue in the home, a glass balustrade can still get owners several headaches. Children are especially prone to leaving smudges, fingerprints, and all sorts of dirt on the glass material. These markings on the glass are very hard to clean. Owners need to have a special system to keep the glass on the balustrades as good as new. For prospective owners, it is best to contact those who already had experience with these types of structures.
Have you heard that the breaking of a mirror means?
That your soul becomes trapped within the mirror. This is from when the romans first invented glass mirror's, and also from the bible passage "The eyes are the window to the soul, If the eye is good the soul is good also" So if you break something that reflects your soul then your soul becomes trapped within that object.
Interesting is it not what are your thoughts?
I just also realised this is were the vampires have no reflection in a mirror comes from, as vampires have no soul.
I must admit I have never heard that one before but having said that I guess that it does make sense in that a lot of Ghost sightings are reflected around mirrors - orbs being seen coming out of a mirror, ghostly figures being photographed in mirrors, scrying (where you tip some water over a mirror and then stare into the mirror where you might be able to see yourself looking different, etc. so I guess it does make sense.
What a lovely thought that the soul can watch those that are left behind through looking in mirror, maybe I will try it and see what is shown to me by those on the other side of the veil!
