Custom glass railing design

• Glass
• Colour
• Attachment styles

Glass

The glass in glass railing is customised in a variety of ways. It can be left transparent–which most people prefer. It can also have varying levels of opacity, for privacy. It can be coloured or tinted. It can also be etched with a favourite pattern or your own art design, family crest or logo. As a natural material, glass complements wood, stone, and metal. So it makes a beautiful addition to all sorts of interior décor themes ranging from rustic to new-age.

Colour

While most people prefer clear glass panels, the glass can actually be coloured or tinted . This is a great option for artistic, eclectic or bold interior design themes. Handrails and other aluminium parts also come in a variety of colour shades and the hardware also has its own share of colour choices and finishes.

Attachment style

Framed, or frameless glass railing uses different methods to attach it to existing structures. For instance, posts, base rails and spigots are for flat-on-the-floor attachment.  Pins are for attaching railing to a side, like you might for a balcony or on the outside edge of a stair. Which type you use depends on the structures available, safety considerations, and aesthetics.

With all of these options, there’s something for every theme. That includes the increasingly popular ‘green theme’ because glass railing uses natural materials, is non-toxic and 100% recyclable. Plus, it’s durable enough to last a lifetime.
