摘要：Glass balusters have become an important architectural vocabulary for both interior and exterior architecture. It is now found in many architectural elements such as stairs, balconies, windows, corridors, etc., and due to the need to add new innovations in the field of glass balustrade in architecture, hence comes the importance and need to focus on it as one of the areas of glass design for architecture. The research presents innovative glass units for the balusters and suggests some solutions to the problems facing the designer and the executor, so that this product comes out to the markets as expected and achieves the purposes for which it was made. There are many methods to produce these new glass balusters units, each of which has its considerations during production processes, including regards to glass itself, or for the type of molds used, or the dimensions of machines, including aesthetic aspects, and installation methods as well. This research is exposed to the requirements for installing the proposed baluster units and their production considerations that affect their design from the outset. In this research, the installation of units in the stair was chosen as one of the architectural elements that require a lot of study to suit the types and methods of installation.
