Transform your space with our Vision Pro glass balustrades

A glass balustrade is a modern safety barrier system that uses laminated tempered glass panels instead of traditional materials like wood or metal spindles. The term “balustrade” simply means a protective railing or barrier. Our glass balustrade systems can be installed in numerous locations where you need safety protection while maintaining unobstructed views. Common applications include deck and balcony railings, staircase barriers (both interior and exterior), pool fencing, loft edges, rooftop terraces, and commercial spaces like restaurants or hotels. They’re the perfect solution anywhere you want to combine safety with spectacular sightlines.

Safety is the paramount concern in our glass railing systems.

We use specialized laminated safety glass that meets or exceeds current building code requirements:

Laminated Tempered Glass: The standard for glass railings, this construction combines two layers of heat-strengthened or fully tempered glass bonded with a durable plastic interlayer (PVB or SGP). The tempered glass provides 4-5 times the strength of standard glass, while the laminated design ensures that if breakage occurs, the interlayer holds all fragments securely in place, maintaining the barrier’s integrity until replacement. This dual-layer protection prevents both falls and injuries from falling glass.

Enhanced Safety Features: The interlayer technology not only captures glass fragments but also provides additional structural stability under impact. Even if both glass layers crack under extreme force, the railing continues functioning as a protective barrier rather than collapsing or creating dangerous gaps.
All our glass railing systems are engineered to meet or exceed International Building Code (IBC) requirements and local safety standards for guards and handrails, ensuring maximum protection for building occupants and pedestrians below.

Our glass balustrade systems are highly customizable to achieve your specific architectural vision. The main options include:

• Mounting Style: We offer several mounting solutions, including top-mounted systems that sit on the floor surface, and side-mounted (or “fascia-mounted”) systems that attach to the vertical face of a balcony or staircase, making the hardware nearly invisible from the walking surface.
  
  
• Glass Type: You can choose from standard clear glass, low-iron (ultra-clear) glass for maximum transparency, or frosted, tinted, and other decorative glass for privacy and style.
  
  
• Top Rail / Handrail: Systems can be completely frameless with just a minimal top cap, or they can incorporate a more substantial handrail made from stainless steel or other materials, depending on the design requirements and local codes.

Glass balustrades are remarkably low-maintenance and extremely durable. The laminated tempered glass is resistant to weather, UV rays, and temperature fluctuations, so it won’t rot, rust, or fade like traditional materials. The main maintenance requirement is periodic cleaning to keep the glass looking crystal clear. For most applications, cleaning with standard glass cleaner every few weeks is sufficient. In coastal areas or high-traffic locations, more frequent cleaning may be desired. Many of our systems feature specialized coatings that repel water and dirt, making maintenance even easier. The metal components (posts, channels, or handrails) are typically made from marine-grade aluminum or stainless steel with durable finishes that require no painting or staining.

The clean aesthetic and transparency of glass balustrades make them a versatile solution for many applications where safety and view are equally important. Common uses include:

• Interior Staircases & Landings: Creating a sense of openness and allowing light to flow through a home.
• Deck & Patio Railings: Providing safety without blocking the view of your yard or landscape.
• Pool Fencing: A popular, elegant choice for a secure pool enclosure that maintains an open, resort-like feel.
• Rooftop Terraces & Commercial Spaces: Maximizing high-value views in urban and scenic environments.
