Residential glass / Project guidance
Glass railings
Glass in a railing is part of a protective assembly, not just an interior finish. Replacement panels and new layouts require consideration of supports, fixing details and the requirements for the particular site.
Request a quoteService suitability, location coverage and scheduling must be confirmed for your project.
Identify the complete railing system
For a replacement, start with the system supplier, available drawings and panel references. Clamps, posts, base supports and handrails can influence the glass specification. Matching the visible size alone is not enough to establish a suitable replacement. If a panel or support is damaged, keep people away from the affected area until it has been assessed.
Confirm the design before selecting glass
Indoor stairs, exterior decks and balconies present different conditions. Supporting construction, exposure and the proposed installation method need review. Design or engineering input may be required, and applicable project requirements must be established by the responsible professionals. This page does not claim structural design capability or guarantee acceptance of any railing system.

Questions before
the next step.
Can a generic tempered panel replace any railing glass?
No. The appropriate glass make-up and fixing details are determined by the system and project requirements; appearance alone is not a specification.
Can a new railing be quoted from approximate dimensions?
Approximate dimensions can start an enquiry. A final scope requires the system, supports, site conditions and any design requirements to be resolved.
