FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are the top questions our clients ask about indoor glass railings before getting started.
How long does a typical railing project take?
Installation typically takes 6–8 weeks from measurement to completion, depending on permit approvals and site conditions.
Do your railings require special maintenance?
Our systems are low-maintenance. Occasional cleaning with mild soap and water keeps glass and metal components clear. We recommend an annual visual inspection of fittings, particularly in waterfront or high-exposure locations.
What materials do you recommend for coastal railing installations?
For Vancouver and Fraser Valley homes, we recommend marine-grade aluminum, stainless steel hardware, and structural safety glass. These materials resist corrosion, humidity, and wind exposure common in coastal environments.
Can you coordinate with my designer or architect?
Absolutely. We collaborate with builders, architects, and landscape designers to deliver cohesive, engineered results.
Do you handle building permits and engineering?
Yes. Our in-house engineering team ensures compliance with BC Building Code and manages required municipal permits.
