LOW MAINTENANCE DESIGN

Why Homeowners Choose Glass Railings for Patios

Glass railings protect your view. Traditional wood or metal railings block what you came outside to see. Glass panels let you enjoy your surroundings without visual barriers.

Your patio stays brighter. Glass reflects light instead of blocking it. This keeps your outdoor space feeling open and welcoming.

Maintenance stays minimal. Our glass systems resist coastal corrosion and BC weather. You clean them with standard glass cleaner a few times per year.

Key Benefits:

  • Unobstructed mountain, ocean, or garden views

  • More natural light on your patio

  • Low maintenance compared to wood railings

  • Modern aesthetic that complements any home style

  • Increases property value

MATERIALS & HARDWARE

Built to Last in Coastal BC Conditions

Coastal weather is tough on outdoor materials. Our glass railing systems are engineered for this environment.

The glass is both tempered and laminated. This makes it impact-resistant and safe. If it does break, the lamination holds the pieces together.

Hardware uses marine-grade stainless steel or powder-coated aluminum. These materials resist salt air corrosion that destroys standard metal railings.

We test our systems against BC wind and snow loads. Your patio railings will perform safely in storms and heavy weather.

Frameless Glass Railings

Glass panels mount directly to your deck or patio surface with no visible posts between panels. These systems typically use 12mm glass and offer the cleanest sightlines.

Three mounting options:

  • Base shoe: Glass mounted in a continuous channel

  • Standoffs: Glass anchored to deck face using pairs of stainless or powder-coated standoffs

  • Spigots: Glass clamped in pairs of surface-mounted spigots

Both systems meet BC Building Code requirements and handle wind loads in exposed locations.
