Process

How We Build Curved Glass Railings

Creating a curved glass railing is a technical craft that requires collaboration between designers, engineers, and installers. Tenmar handles each stage in-house or through trusted BC partners, ensuring your project is delivered safely and on schedule.

  1. Site Measurement & Templating

We begin with a detailed site review. Using digital scanning or physical templates, our team captures the precise curve radius, elevation, and attachment points.

These measurements inform both the bending geometry and the hardware design.

  1. Glass Bending & Fabrication

Each pane of safety glass is heated and shaped to your custom radius in a controlled environment.

  • Available thicknesses: 10 mm – 19 mm tempered or laminated glass

  • Optional finishes: low-iron clear, grey or bronze tint, or frosted privacy treatment

  1. Edge Finishing & Coating

After bending, edges are polished to a smooth, high-clarity finish. Protective coatings can be applied to reduce water spotting and maintain transparency in Vancouver’s humid climate.

  1. Mounting Hardware & Framing

Curved systems require precision-fit hardware. Tenmar uses marine-grade 316 stainless steel or powder-coated aluminium posts, base shoes, and channels engineered for the exact curvature. Drainage paths are incorporated to prevent pooling on patios and balconies.

  1. Installation & Alignment

Our installers secure each panel with hidden anchors or surface-mounted systems, ensuring uniform spacing and structural integrity. Final alignment is verified against engineering drawings to guarantee both beauty and safety.

Average project timeline: 6–10 weeks from design approval to completion.

Average project timeline: 4-8 weeks from design approval to completion, depending on complexity.

Cost & Value Guide for Curved Glass Railings

While curved glass is a premium feature, Tenmar makes the process transparent so you can plan confidently.

Typical Investment

Installations in Vancouver and the Fraser Valley range; depending on:

  • Radius and number of curved sections

  • Glass type and thickness

  • Edge finishing and hardware system

  • Site complexity (balcony vs staircase)

Why It's Worth It

Homeowners across Coastal BC love curved railings because:

  • Enhances property value and architectural impact

  • Withstands coastal exposure with minimal upkeep

  • Outlasts traditional framed systems; no repainting or rot

  • Creates a timeless design focal point

Materials

Engineered for Coastal BC Conditions

Vancouver’s coastal weather presents unique challenges; from salt air and persistent rain to freeze-thaw cycles. Tenmar’s curved glass railings are designed specifically for these conditions.

Corrosion resistance

316 stainless hardware and powder-coated finishes prevent rust and pitting.

Water management

Base shoes and post mounts include drainage channels to protect decks and slabs.

UV and seal integrity

UV-stable sealants prevent clouding and delamination.

Wind-load design

Every curved panel is reviewed for load distribution and compliance with BC Building Code Part 9.

Tenmar Advantage

The result is a railing that maintains its clarity, strength, and precision curve for decades; even in high-moisture coastal zones.

Engineered to Perform

Precision-crafted railings that look stunning and meet all BC standards.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are the top questions our clients ask about indoor glass railings before getting started.

Do I need a railing on a ground-level patio?

If your patio surface is more than 24 inches above grade, BC Building Code requires a guardrail system that meets height and load standards.

Can railings be anchored to concrete slabs or pavers?

Yes. Tenmar uses specialized core-drilling and mechanical anchors that ensure long-term stability without compromising your patio surface.

Are glass patio railings safe during winter freezes?

Absolutely. Each panel is tempered safety glass, mounted in sealed brackets that prevent moisture intrusion or cracking during freeze-thaw cycles.

Do I need a permit for patio railing installation in Vancouver or the Fraser Valley?

Generally, a permit is required if your patio is more than 24 inches above grade or if structural modifications are involved. Tenmar assists with engineering drawings and local building-department documentation to ensure smooth permit approval.

What’s the difference between patio and deck railings?

Patio railings are typically installed on ground-level concrete or masonry, while deck railings attach to wood or composite framing. Patio systems must consider drainage, surface expansion, and direct-to-slab anchoring, all areas Tenmar designs for in Vancouver’s wet climate.
