FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are the top questions our clients ask before getting started.

What makes a glass railing "commercial" rather than residential?

Commercial glass railings are designed as guard systems for spaces with regular public foot traffic, which means stricter loading and guard requirements than a typical home installation. The glass specification and hardware are selected to hold up under continuous daily use.

How much does a commercial glass railing cost?

Pricing depends on the system type, total length, and site conditions. As a general range, frameless systems run $300 to $400 per foot and semi-frameless systems run $250 to $350 per foot, with a detailed quote provided after measurement.

How long does a commercial glass railing installation take?

Most projects take 6 to 8 weeks from measurement to completion. That covers assessment, fabrication of the 12mm glass, and the final installation and walkthrough.

What glass is used in commercial glass railing systems?

Tenmar uses 12mm glass across frameless and semi-frameless commercial systems. It is specified for clarity, durability, and barrier performance in high-use public settings.
