Frequently asked questions
Here are the top questions our clients ask before getting started.
Do frameless glass railings meet building code in Vancouver and the Fraser Valley?
Yes. Tenmar’s frameless glass railings are engineered to pass inspection, even without cap rails, and are approved in municipalities like Vancouver and Burnaby. Marten uses CAD and laser measurement tools to ensure every project meets BC code requirements.
Do glass railings require a lot of maintenance?
No. Glass railings are low-maintenance compared to wood or metal alternatives. With proper installation and quality materials, Tenmar’s railings are weather-resistant, easy to clean, and built to last for years with minimal upkeep.
Are glass stair railings safe for families with children?
Yes. When properly engineered and installed, glass stair railings meet safety standards (including opening limits, handrail height and guard load requirements) to protect children and provide a secure barrier.
How long does installation of custom glass stair railings take in the Vancouver area?
Typically, installation of custom glass stair railings takes 1–2 weeks (depending on design complexity, material sourcing, and site preparation). Getting quotes early and coordinating site access can help keep things on schedule.
Can I use glass stair railings for both indoor and outdoor stairs in the Lower Mainland?
Absolutely, glass stair railings are well-suited to both indoor and outdoor environments. For outdoor use, select materials and finishes designed for coastal exposure, and ensure your installer considers local wind, weather and drainage conditions.
