Glass balustrades and guards for lobbies, mezzanines, stairs and restaurants.
Commercial railings take more load, more traffic and stricter requirements than home railings. Lobbies, mezzanines, stairs and restaurant patios often use glass guards that keep the space open while meeting safety needs. A commercial glass railing is an engineered system: the glass, the fittings and the structure behind them need to be planned together.
We review your drawings or measure the site and discuss what you need from the railing: height, handrail, load and the look. We recommend a system with laminated or tempered glass and suitable fittings. If engineering or approval is required, we coordinate with your design team. We then fabricate and install the system with the right anchors, sealed and aligned. Because these systems protect people on stairs and edges, we take the planning seriously and keep records of what was installed. We explain how the glass, the fittings and the structure work together, so you and your inspectors can see the intent of the design and understand how to maintain it.
Commercial railings must carry set loads. We work with your design team and the system makers so that the design meets what is required.
Laminated glass is often used for guards so panels stay in place if one layer breaks. We explain why and what thickness suits your system.
Handrails, cap rails and base shoes give a finished, durable look. We choose materials suited to public use.
