Our Process

The Outdoor Railing Installation Process

Design alignment and precise execution are essential for installation of all outdoor glass railing systems.

Consultation

Installation starts with careful measurement of your deck. We measure to the installed hardware to ensure precision glass cutting. This avoids gaps and ensures proper fit.

For Frameless Systems

For frameless systems, hardware goes in first, then glass panels are custom-cut and installed. The process takes 6 to 8 weeks from measurement to completion.

Semi-Frameless Systems

Semi-frameless systems, aluminum posts are installed, followed by glass installation in 6 to 8 weeks. Posts go up first so you maintain some protection while waiting for glass.

Frameless Systems

Frameless systems mount glass directly to your deck with no visible posts between panels. You get the clearest views and a modern look. These systems use 12mm glass anchored with base shoe channels, standoffs, or spigots. Pricing typically ranges from $300 to $400 per linear foot.

Semi-Frameless Systems

Semi-frameless systems use aluminum posts spaced up to 42 inches apart with glass panels between them. Posts add a defined look while still keeping views open. This option costs less, typically ranging from $250 to $350 per linear foot.

Weather

Built for BC Coastal Weather

Coastal BC brings rain, salt air, and temperature swings. Wood railings rot. Metal railings corrode. Glass does not.

Glass panels resist moisture and salt. Hardware uses marine-grade stainless steel or powder-coated aluminum that holds up to the elements. Your railing looks the same in year five as it did on installation day.

Wind loads are factored into every installation. Glass thickness, hardware spacing, and mounting methods are chosen based on your deck height and exposure. The system stays secure even during coastal storms.
