Glass Railing Design & Installation
If you want an easy barrier option that doesn’t block sightlines, glass railings could suit your needs. Glass railings provide an unhindered view beyond the barrier and allow maximum illumination.

STANDOFFS
Glass railing standoffs are spacers that attach to the side of your staircase and pass through a pre-made opening in specially cut glass. This technique is potentially the most stylish way to fasten glass to a staircase. Another advantage of glass railing standoffs is that they are mounted to the fascia, providing you with the maximum amount of room in your staircase or balcony.
TAPER LOC
The Taper-Loc glass railing system is extremely adaptable and can be used in various scenarios, such as staircases and balcony railings. This glass railing system can be mounted on the surface or the fascia, depending on the design of your area. By utilizing a patented wedge lock mechanism at the bottom of the glass, the Taper-Loc railing system offers a sturdy and secure glass railing that doesn’t require support at the top of the glass. To complete the installation, the metal base of the railing is often covered with metal cladding or wood.
POST & CLIP
Buried or concealed channel showers are a great trend that has gained popularity in the past few years. Our team will work with the carpenters and tile contractors to recess the channel of your shower for all fixed panels. By the end of the process you will have a truly unique shower enclosure that does not show any hardware on fixed panels. Please contact us early on in the process to initiate a quote for a buried channel shower.
CONCEILED HARDWARE
Our concealed hardware (stringer fastened) railing systems offer an excellent solution for installing a glass railing discreetly, with no visible metal. We collaborate closely with you to design a flawless railing system that highlights both the craftsmanship of the carpentry and the elegance of the glass.
