About

What You Get With Tenmar's Curved Glass Stair Railings

Your curved staircase maintains its visual flow. Straight glass panels create flat spots that break the curve's rhythm. Custom-cut curved panels follow your stairs' arc smoothly from start to finish. The railing becomes part of the design instead of fighting against it.

You avoid the segmented look of post systems. Traditional railings use short straight sections between posts to approximate curves. This creates a faceted appearance instead of smooth flowing lines. Custom curved glass eliminates posts between panels for continuous curves.

Curved stairs are architectural features, not just ways to move between floors. They deserve railings that match their design quality. Glass completes the modern aesthetic without compromising the curves.

Our Process

Installation Timeline for a Curved Glass Stair Railing

From first measurement to final safety check, Marten handles your project end-to-end so your curved glass railing fits perfectly and meets BC code.

Free Consultation & Design

Curved glass staircase railings takes longer than straight installations due to custom fabrication requirements. Each curved panel is unique to your staircase. Standard lead times do not apply because nothing is pulled from inventory.

Custom Engineering & Fabrication

Typical timeline runs 10 to 14 weeks from measurement to completion. This includes detailed radius measurement, engineering review, custom glass fabrication, curved handrail creation, and installation scheduling. Complex curves or spiral configurations may extend beyond 14 weeks.

Professional Installation & Inspection

Installation happens when all custom components are ready. Curved installations require precision fitting that takes more time than straight railings. Most curved staircase projects complete installation in two to four days depending on stair complexity and number of curves.

Types of Staircases

Types of Curved Staircases That Need a Curved Glass Railing

Curved glass staircase railings work with different curved configurations:

  • Gentle sweeping curves - Wide radius curves that flow through open spaces

  • Tight radius curves - Smaller curves in compact footprints where space is limited

  • Spiral staircases - Continuous curves that wrap around central posts

  • Curved landings - Curved platforms between flights that need matching curved glass

  • Combination curves - Stairs with both straight and curved sections requiring mixed panel types

Your installer measures the exact radius at each section to ensure every glass panel follows your staircase perfectly.

Railing Types

Frameless vs. Semi-Frameless for Curved Staircases

Both options require custom fabrication because curved glass cannot be bought off the shelf. The frameless versus semi-frameless choice affects how many curved panels you need and how visible the supporting structure is. Your budget and design preferences determine which works better for your staircase.

Frameless Systems

Frameless curved glass staircase railing creates the smoothest flowing lines. No posts interrupt the glass as it follows your staircase curve. Light passes through the entire arc without obstruction. This option showcases your curved stairs most dramatically. Pricing typically ranges from $400 to $500 per linear foot due to custom curved fabrication.

Semi-Frameless Systems

Semi-frameless curved railings use posts positioned along the curve with curved glass panels between them. Posts follow the arc at calculated intervals. This costs less than frameless, typically $300 to $400 per linear foot, but still requires custom curved glass cutting between posts.

FAQ

Common Questions About Curved Glass Stair Railings

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

Can curved glass be installed on existing curved stairs?

Yes. Curved glass systems retrofit onto most existing curved staircases. Your installer evaluates the stair structure to confirm it can support glass railing loads and determines mounting methods that work with your stair construction.

How much more does curved glass cost than straight glass railing?

Curved glass typically costs 25% to 40% more than straight glass railing due to custom fabrication requirements. Exact pricing depends on your curve radius, total length, and complexity. Tighter curves cost more than gentle curves. Spiral configurations cost the most.

What if my curve radius changes along the staircase?

This is common. Most curved stairs have varying radius. Each section is measured individually and glass panels are cut to match each specific curve. Custom fabrication handles radius changes throughout your staircase.

Do curved glass panels meet the same safety codes as straight panels?

Yes. Curved glass panels use the same 12mm laminated safety glass as straight installations. They meet the same BC Building Code requirements for height, load capacity, and barrier function. The curve does not reduce safety performance.

How do you measure a curved staircase accurately?

Installers use laser measurement tools and physical templating to capture exact curve geometry. Multiple measurement points along the curve create a detailed map. This data drives the CNC cutting equipment that creates each curved glass panel.
