Tenmar's Glass Railing Systems
Spigot Glass Railings
A spigot glass railing holds each panel in individual base-mounted clamps, leaving the deck surface open and the sightline uninterrupted. Tenmar installs spigot railings on decks, patios, pool surrounds, and balconies across Greater Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, the Sea-to-Sky corridor, the Sunshine Coast, and Vancouver Island.
Standoff Glass Railings
Create a floating look with visible metal accents. Tenmar installs standoff-mounted glass railings on decks, stairs, and balconies across Greater Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, the Sea-to-Sky corridor, the Sunshine Coast, and Vancouver Island.
Frameless Glass Railings
Maximize your view with fully frameless glass railings. No posts, no cap rails - just clear, uninterrupted glass engineered for safety and built to BC standards.
Semi-Frameless Glass Railings
Semi-frameless glass railings pair slim aluminum posts with clear 12 mm glass panels, giving you open views with added structural support at a lower cost than a fully frameless system. It is a practical balance of clarity, strength, and value for decks, balconies, patios, and staircases.
Curved Glass Railings
Seamless curves, precise execution. Tenmar's curved glass railings are custom fabricated to your exact radius, combining structural integrity with a striking, modern design for BC homes.
Glass Privacy Walls
Glass privacy walls block wind and neighbour sightlines without closing in your deck. Tenmar installs glass privacy walls for decks, patios, hot tubs, and pool areas in Greater Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, the Sea-to-Sky corridor, the Sunshine Coast, and Vancouver Island.
Benefits
Commercial environments across Vancouver require railing systems that prioritize safety, durability, and consistency across high-traffic spaces. Glass railings provide dependable fall protection while maintaining clear sightlines in offices, retail spaces, and public interiors. Designed to meet BC building code requirements, commercial glass railing systems support long-term performance and a clean, modern appearance suitable for both new construction and renovation projects.
Engineered for Public Safety
Commercial glass railings are designed to function as guard assemblies in areas with regular foot traffic. Tenmar uses 12mm glass and precision-engineered hardware to support impact resistance and continued barrier performance over years of public use.
Integrated with Commercial Architecture
Glass railing systems are detailed to align with modern commercial interiors and exteriors across Vancouver — supporting open atriums, staircases, and mezzanines without visual interruption. Frameless and semi-frameless systems are both available depending on architectural intent and budget.
Built for Repeated Daily Use
Hardware and glass specifications are selected to support durability in Vancouver commercial environments exposed to frequent contact, heavy foot traffic, and long operating hours - from retail entrances to hospitality atriums.
