Clear glass railings with slim posts or no posts at all, for stairs, decks, balconies and interior edges.
A glass railing keeps the view and still keeps people safe. Instead of rows of balusters, a glass system uses clear panels held by slim posts, standoffs or a base channel, so a deck, balcony or staircase feels open. Glass railings suit modern homes and traditional ones alike, and they stay clean and easy to maintain. Nashville homes with a view of trees, hills or a skyline are especially good candidates.
We start with the site: where the railing will go, the structure that will hold it, the height you need and how it will meet the stairs or edges. We then recommend a system, such as a post-and-glass design, a standoff system or a base shoe, and a glass type, usually tempered or laminated. We measure carefully, order glass cut to size and install the system plumb and level, with hardware and finishes you choose.
Post systems use vertical posts with glass in between. Standoff systems hold glass on the face of the structure. Base shoe systems hold glass in a channel along the bottom.
Tempered or laminated glass is used for railings. Laminated holds together if cracked, which is important in some locations, and thickness varies by system.
A railing is only as strong as what it is fastened to. We check the framing, concrete or steel, and plan the anchors before we order.
Height, spacing and load requirements vary by location and use. We tell you what we plan for and what to confirm with your local office.
