When the owner’s of Dylan’s restaurant wanted to make more of the panoramic sea views including not one but two medieval Welsh castles, they chose a frameless glass balustrade with toughened safety glass from TuffX.
Using 30 panels of 15mm toughened glass, the balustrade channel was fitted on a staggered curve, to follow the sweeping shape of the dramatically glass-fronted Art Deco inspired Criccieth restaurant. The 1950’s Grade II-listed building was designed by architectural icon Clough Williams Ellis, also famous for his whimsical Portmeirion Village, further along the coast.
TuffX managing director Graham Price said: “Not many restaurants can boast a view or a building like Dylan’s, and the glass balustrade provides the perfect, practical addition to make the most of them.
“For all food and drink establishments this past year has meant re-evaluating the value of outdoor seating areas and the importance of providing customers with the option of comfortable and appealing outside spaces. Updating or introducing balustrades like this, made from toughened safety glass, is an simple way for venues to add a safe, easy to maintain and modern solution to improve their outdoor areas.”
