Glass Railing Systems

Glass Railing Systems

Safety without compromise. Keep your views unobstructed with modern glass railings.

We're a great fit for:

  • Balconies and decks with views
  • Interior staircases
  • Pool fencing
  • Wind walls

We may not be right for:

  • Cheap wood fence replacement
  • Structures that aren't reinforced for heavy glass loads

Safety is paramount. We only install engineered systems that meet local building codes.

System Styles

Base Shoe (Tapered)

Base Shoe (Tapered)

Glass emerges directly from the floor with no visible posts. The ultimate clean look.

Post Systems

Post Systems

Stainless steel or black posts with glass clamps. Cost-effective and industrial-modern.

Standoff Pins

Standoff Pins

Glass is side-mounted to the fascia of your deck or stair tread with heavy duty bolts.

Investment & Quality

Typical Project Range

$350 – $900

*Excludes complex removal or structural mods.

What Drives the Price?

  • 1.Mounting Style (Base shoe is most expensive)
  • 2.Glass Type (Tempered vs Laminated)
  • 3.Top Cap requirements (Wood vs Metal vs None)
  • 4.Stair angles and complexity

Project Readiness

Before we measure:

  • Substrate integrity: framing must be solid wood or concrete.
  • Waterproofing details for exterior decks.
  • Final floor height established.

Common Delays

  • Insufficient blocking in the floor joists.
  • Deck waterproofing not compatible with base shoe mounting.

Common Questions

Do I need a top rail?
In many cases, yes. Building code often requires a top rail or handrail for safety unless using specific laminated glass types.
Is it hard to keep clean?
Exterior glass gets dirty like windows. We recommend a hydrophobic coating to reduce cleaning frequency.
