Powder-coated aluminum posts anchored to your deck or concrete, with a top rail that ties the run together. The coating is baked on — it doesn't peel like paint and never rusts.
Tempered safety glass panels, clear or tinted. The frame carries the load, so panels are easy to handle and straightforward to replace individually if one ever gets damaged.
We measure on site, fabricate to your exact runs and stairs, and install. The mounting approach is selected for wood decks, concrete porches, or stone steps.

Full breakdown: framed vs frameless glass railings. Numbers and cost factors: framed glass railing cost in Toronto.
Deck railings where you want the view without the frameless price, porch railings on modern fronts, balconies with wind exposure, and exterior stairs where code wants a graspable rail anyway. For local porch and deck layouts, see glass railings in Scarborough and glass railings in Pickering.
Our Scarborough porch installation pairs tinted glass with a black aluminum frame. See the finished entrance and what to consider for a similar porch.

Price and practicality. The aluminum frame carries the structural load, so the glass can be thinner and the starting rate is $20 less per linear foot than frameless. The top rail also gives you something to lean on and stiffens the run in windy spots.
From $100 per linear foot installed. A straight 30 ft deck run calculates around $2,925–$3,575 plus HST, before old-railing removal. Stair sections and complex mounting need a photo review.
Clear tempered glass is standard. Tinted (grey or bronze) is available where you want privacy or glare control. Frames are powder-coated aluminum — black is the most popular, white and custom colours are available.
Yes. Every panel we install is tempered safety glass, which is what the Ontario Building Code requires in guards. If it ever breaks, it crumbles into blunt pieces instead of shards.
Yes — framed systems handle stairs well because the rail follows the stair angle and the glass is cut to suit. Stair sections take more fabrication and install time, so we confirm the layout before firm pricing.
Same as a window: glass cleaner or soapy water and a squeegee. The powder-coated frame just needs an occasional rinse. No painting, no staining, no sanding — ever.
