Frameless glass railings.

The glass itself is the structure. Thick tempered panels are clamped into a continuous aluminum base shoe bolted to the deck, or held on stainless steel spigots. The mounting hardware and glass thickness are engineered as a system to take guard loads without posts.

From $120 per linear foot installed. It's the most expensive of our three systems because the glass is thicker and the hardware is heavier-duty. A straight 30 ft run calculates around $3,465–$4,235 plus HST, before old-railing removal. Stair sections and complex mounting need a photo review.

Base shoe gives a continuous clean line and suits concrete and well-built decks. Spigots cost less in hardware, show a bit of post at the bottom of each panel, and work well over solid surfaces like stone or concrete. We'll recommend one after seeing your photos.

Properly engineered frameless guards meet Ontario Building Code without a top rail in many residential applications, though some installs call for a slim top cap depending on the design and inspector. We build to what your specific job requires — no shortcuts.

It shows fingerprints and water spots the same as any glass. A squeegee every few weeks keeps it invisible. If that sounds like a chore, tinted glass or a framed system hides spots better.

Yes — that's a big part of our work. We remove and dispose of the old railing, check the structure can take the new loads, and install. See our railing replacement page for how that process runs.
