Tenmar Advantage

Climate

Engineered for Vancouver’s Climate

Vancouver’s coastal environment is unique: high rainfall, salt exposure, and freeze-thaw cycles challenge inferior railing materials. Tenmar’s patio railings are purpose-built for this region, combining corrosion resistance and low maintenance with precision anchoring for concrete or paver patios.

Corrosion-resistant metals

Powder-coated aluminium and stainless-steel fasteners prevent rust and surface pitting.

Drainage-aware installation

 Hardware and post bases allow proper water runoff to protect your patio surface.

Freeze-thaw stability

Secure anchoring resists movement or loosening during winter expansion cycles.

Each project is planned to withstand Vancouver’s coastal winters and Fraser Valley’s humidity, ensuring long-term performance with minimal upkeep.

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.
