Process

Our Installation Process

Tenmar has served Greater Vancouver and Fraser Valley homeowners for over two decades. We carefully measure each deck to ensure precision glass cutting and proper fit. Our installation timeline runs 6-8 weeks from initial measurement to completion.

Every project includes a site consultation to assess deck structure, discuss design preferences, and confirm mounting options. We handle permitting requirements and coordinate with local building inspectors to ensure code compliance.

Our frameless systems range from $300-400 per linear foot installed. Semi-frameless systems with aluminum posts spaced maximum 42 inches apart range from $250-350 per linear foot.

Are glass railings safe for elevated decks?

Glass railings meet all provincial safety standards for deck installations. We use 12mm glass panels engineered to withstand wind loads and weather exposure. All mounting systems are designed for structural integrity on elevated and second-storey decks.

Are curved glass panels more fragile than straight ones?

No, each panel is tempered and laminated to meet the same impact resistance standards as flat glass.

Do glass railings require special maintenance?

Glass railings require minimal maintenance compared to wood or metal alternatives. Occasional cleaning with standard glass cleaner maintains clarity. Our corrosion-resistant hardware is designed for coastal BC climates and resists salt air and moisture damage.

Do curved panels cost significantly more?

Curved glass usually costs 1.5–2 times more due to custom bending and manufacturing, but offers longer life and greater value.

How do you maintain curved glass railings?

A simple rinse with mild soap and water keeps panels clear; no specialised cleaners required.
