Introduction

Glass Railings Designed for High-End Residential Architecture

Custom and luxury homes often feature open staircases, expansive views, and non-standard layouts. Glass railings are commonly selected to protect these spaces without interrupting architectural intent or design flow.

Tenmar designs glass railing systems specifically for custom homes, where precision fabrication and clean detailing are critical.
