WHY US?

Why Choose Tenmar Over Other Vancouver Glass Railing Companies

Why Choose Tenmar Over Other Fraser Valley Glass Railing Companies

If you're a Vancouver condo owner planning to replace rusted metal or deteriorating wood balcony railings, you need a glass railing system that gets strata council approval on the first submission, and passes city inspection without delays. Most contractors don't understand strata bylaws, engineer certification requirements, or Vancouver's specific wind load codes for high-rise buildings.
