Railing Systems

Four ways to hold the glass. We’ll help you pick the one that fits your space, look and budget.

Base shoe (frameless)

Glass panels set into a low aluminum channel along the floor. No posts at all: the cleanest, most open look.

Decks · balconies · lofts
Standoff (side-mount)

Glass bolted to the side of the stairs or deck with round stainless standoffs, so the railing takes up no floor space.

Stairs · floor edges
Post & clamp

Stainless or aluminum posts with glass panels held by clamps. Strong, simple and the most budget-friendly glass railing.

Decks · long runs
Spigot

Short stainless posts clamp each panel at the bottom for a nearly frameless look without a floor channel.

Decks · patios

The Glass

  • Thick tempered safety glass, usually 1/2″
  • Laminated glass for all-glass railings with no top rail: it stays in place even if a panel breaks
  • Clear, low-iron (ultra-clear) or frosted
  • A top cap or handrail where you want one

Hardware Finishes

  • Brushed stainlessThe most popular; hides fingerprints.
  • Polished stainlessBright, mirror-like finish.
  • Matte blackBold and modern against the glass.

Tips From Our Glaziers

Code sets the height

Any deck, stair or balcony more than 30 inches above the ground needs a guard. We build every railing to Minnesota code for height and strength.

Plan the mounting early

Frameless railings anchor into solid structure. On a new deck, call us before the decking goes down so the framing is ready.

No top rail? Go laminated

For an all-glass look, laminated glass keeps the railing standing even if a panel breaks.

Easy to keep clear

Glass cleaner and a soft cloth. Rinse off pollen and road salt; stainless hardware wipes clean.
