What is a Glass Railing?
Glass railing is a stylish barrier system created with tempered or laminated safety glass, usually being supported by aluminium or stainless steel framing. Used frequently for glass railing for stairs, outdoor glass railings, and interior glass stair railings, these systems offer great safety with unobstructed views and an open feel to your area.

Features of Glass Railing
Trendy Appearance:
These railings provide a different-level of visual appeal to any space with their sleek finish and clean, modern lines. They are perfect for residential and commercial applications to complement contemporary interiors and minimalist architecture.
Unobstructed Sightlines:
These railings provide clear sightlines from balconies, rooftops and stairs. The glass creates visibility and freedom by allowing light to pass through the entire area, both external and internal and provides uninterrupted open views.
Strength and Safety:
These systems are constructed using toughened safety glass, or laminated glass, designed to resist impacts, weather changes and general use. The corrosion-resistant hardware will keep the glass railing system functional for many years and keep everyone safe.
Low Maintenance:
These railing systems are a lower maintenance option than wood or metal systems. Glass is scratch resistant, rust free and won’t stain. This makes glass railing systems maintainable, as clean the glass inside or outside, it’s never an issue.
Versatility:
These railings are extremely versatile and are perfectly used for balconies, rooftops, pool areas and staircases. They work well for both indoor glass stair railings and outdoor applications matching your desired designs.
Wind and Sound Barrier:
Outdoors, glass railings will minimize exposure to wind without obstructing your view. Additionally, these railings will help minimize sound, allowing for greater comfort and privacy to your outdoor space.
Child and Pet Friendly:
There are no horizontal bars or large spaces to climb in these railing systems, enhancing safety for families with children or pets.
Custom Design Options:
Used with frameless, semi-frameless and fully framed systems. Available in clear, tinted, frosted, or patterned glass. Plus, there are several mounting systems to fit your design visions.
