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.
