Glass Railings

System Configurations

Post – Mounted Glass – Glass panels attached to metal posts at regular intervals. Visible structural elements frame the glass.
Channel – Mounted Glass – Glass panels set into metal base channels for minimal visible hardware. Clean contemporary appearance.
Standoff – Mounted Glass – Glass panels attached via point fixings for floating appearance.
Framed Glass – Glass panels in continuous metal frames for traditional or industrial aesthetic.

Metal Components

Posts – Vertical structural elements in round, square, or custom profiles.
Handrails – Top rails in graspable profiles meeting code requirements.
Base Channels – Continuous metal channels receiving glass panel edges.
Standoffs – Point-fixing hardware for through-glass mounting.
Cap Rails – Protective top edges for frameless configurations.

Material Selection

Stainless Steel – Standard choice for most glass systems. Excellent strength and corrosion resistance.
Wrought Iron & Steel – Traditional aesthetic when desired. Requires appropriate finish protection.
Brass – Warm tones for residential and hospitality applications.
Aluminum – Lightweight option for specific applications.

Glass Coordination

We design metal components to work with:

Tempered Glass – Standard safety glass for most applications.
Laminated Glass – Enhanced safety glass for specific code requirements.
Tinted & Frosted Glass – Decorative options for privacy or visual interest.

We coordinate with glass suppliers to ensure proper fit, attachment, and system performance.

Applications

Interior Stairs – Maximum light transmission through stair enclosures.
Balconies – Unobstructed views from elevated interior and exterior spaces.
Commercial Spaces – Contemporary aesthetic for offices, retail, and hospitality.
