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.

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.
