Glass Railings


Frameless and standoff systems

Overview

Glass Railings


Frameless and standoff glass railing systems that keep sightlines open and let light travel through the space. Set into a slim base shoe or held on polished standoffs, on straight flights, landings and curved stairs where the glass is bent to the radius.

All of the safety, none of the visual weight.

We hold and process more than twenty glass options, from regular clear through to super clear Starfire, Euro grey and bronze, in tempered, laminated and security grades. If you have a colour or a tint in mind, we will match it.

Designed, fabricated and finished in our Vaughan facility. Full supply and installation across Canada; supply and delivery across North America.

Glass options

What we specialise in


Glass is not one product. Clarity, tint, processing and thickness all change how a railing looks and what it is rated to do.

Clarity and tint

Regular clear

The standard float glass. A faint green cast on the edge that most people never notice.

Super clear — Starfire

Low-iron glass with the green removed. Edges read almost water clear. The choice when the glass itself should disappear.

Euro grey

A neutral grey tint that cuts glare and reads darker against a light interior.

Bronze

A warm smoked tint that sits well with brass, walnut and bronze hardware.

Over twenty colours

Tints, back-painted colours, acid-etched, satin and patterned glass. Bring us a sample and we will match it.

Processing

Tempered

Heat-strengthened so it breaks into blunt granules. The standard for balustrades.

Laminated

Two or more panes bonded over an interlayer, so a broken pane stays in the opening.

Tempered laminated

Both together. What we specify for frameless guards and anywhere there is a drop below.

Bulletproof

Multi-layer ballistic glass for security and commercial work, built to the rating you need.

Thickness

Thickness is driven by the span, the fixing method and whether there is a drop below. We will tell you what your opening needs rather than selling you the thickest option.
