The process of installing an interior glass railing on a staircase

There are few design choices more beautiful or modern looking than interior glass stair railing. Not only does it open up a room with an unspoiled view, it boosts light levels and banishes shadows–both good qualities to have on a staircase!

The process of installing a glass railing can be straightforward or challenging, it all depends on where it needs to go. To give an idea of what is involved, let’s go over the very basics.

Process for glass stair railing installation

• Choose design: There are many design options to consider. Do you prefer framed or frameless railing? What look do you want the glass to have? You can choose the colour, texture, level of transparency/opacity, etc. You can also choose the type and finish of the hardware used to secure the railing. 
• Detailed measurements: Glass railing is unique in that it can be made to fit into any space desired, even curved. Taking detailed measurements is a must to ensure it fits securely into the space required.
• Install mounting brackets
• Add bottom rails, and/or top rails and/or glass clamps. The order depends on your choice of railing.
