Glazed Railings

Use this 3-part SimpleSpecs™️ specification template to specify (glazed railings) metal railing assemblies composed of steel, stainless steel, or aluminum framing with glass infill.

Glazed railings are becoming an increasingly popular choice for homeowners and business owners who want to add a modern touch to their property. In this article, we’ll explore the benefits of glazed railings and why they are an excellent choice for your home or business.

What are Glazed Railings?

Are a type of system that uses glass panels instead of traditional materials like wood or metal. These glass panels are usually supported by metal or wooden frames, and they provide an unobstructed view of the surrounding area. Glazed railings are popular for use in balconies, staircases, and other areas where safety is a concern but an uninterrupted view is desired.

Aesthetics and Design

It’s a popular choice due to its aesthetic appeal. The clean, modern lines add a touch of elegance and sophistication to any space. Whether you are looking to add a contemporary feel to your home or business, glazed railings can help you achieve that look. Additionally, because glass is a versatile material, it can be customized to match any design aesthetic.

Metal supports can be fabricated of many different metals. Steel, stainless steel, and aluminum are included in this section, but brass and bronze are also available.  Railings are fabricated in accordance with ASTM E985.

Durability and Safety

Another benefit of is their durability and safety features. Because they are made of glass, it’s highly resistant to weather, corrosion, and UV radiation. This means that they are ideal for use in outdoor settings where traditional railing systems may deteriorate over time. Additionally, glazed railings are engineered to meet strict safety standards, providing peace of mind for homeowners and business owners alike.

Easy Maintenance

One of the most significant advantages is how easy they are to maintain. Unlike traditional railing systems that require regular cleaning and maintenance, glazed railings are highly resistant to dirt and debris. They are also easy to clean with soap and water or a mild glass cleaner, making them an ideal choice for busy homeowners and business owners.

Cost-Effective

Despite their many benefits, glazed railings are also a cost-effective option. While the initial investment may be higher than traditional railing systems, the long-term savings on maintenance costs make it an excellent investment for homeowners and business owners alike.

Notes: 

Glass can be clear or tinted, tempered, or laminated. Verify specific glass requirements with the applicable building code.  Manufacturers offer many different support configurations, from metal railings with glass infill to assemblies utilizing metal clips or buttons.

Top rails can be of the same metal as is used elsewhere in the railing assembly, a different metal, or wood.
