Aluminum & Glass Railing Systems

Glass and aluminum guards use posts, base channels or dedicated point fixings. Safety-glass construction, including laminated glass where required, follows local rules, the support system and project loads.

What This System Is

Glass and aluminum guards use posts, base channels or dedicated point fixings. Safety-glass construction, including laminated glass where required, follows local rules, the support system and project loads.

  • Aluminum posts, base channels and glass fixing arrangements are selected to suit the project.
  • A side-mounted point fixing is different from a continuous base shoe or post-mounted clamp.

How the Guard Is Supported

01

System options

Aluminum posts, base channels and glass fixing arrangements are selected to suit the project.

02

Fixing type

A side-mounted point fixing is different from a continuous base shoe or post-mounted clamp.

03

Glass

Safety glass type, thickness, edge finishing and retention follow local guarding requirements.

Materials & Construction

Configurations are selected for project requirements; specifications vary by system and order.

Fixing typeA side-mounted point fixing is different from a continuous base shoe or post-mounted clamp.
GlassSafety glass type, thickness, edge finishing and retention follow local guarding requirements.
SubstrateBase concrete, steel or other support must accept the designed anchors and loads.
GeometryGuard height, infill gaps, edges and stair interfaces need project review.
DurabilitySpecify compatible fixings, drainage and corrosion protection for the exposure.

Configuration Options

Confirm the combination as one ordered assembly.

  • Run length, guard height, straight/stair layout and installation position.
  • Top/side mounting, support substrate and edge distances.
  • Glass/safety requirements, exposure and destination.

Buyer FAQ

Is frameless glass railing the same as an aluminum railing?

Frameless describes the visual arrangement, not a single material or load path. A frameless guard can use an aluminum base shoe or dedicated point fixings; post-supported guards use different connections. Check the complete support and glass system.

What glass is used?

The glass make-up, including laminated safety glass where required, must suit local guarding rules, load, edge support and post-breakage retention. Monolithic tempered glass is not assumed compliant for every balcony or terrace.

Can the railing follow a staircase?

Stair guards require a site-measured rake, landing geometry and handrail arrangement. Raked base channels, posts or other fixings must follow the selected system and local guarding requirements.

How is it fixed to the slab?

Through anchors into the structural slab or edge beam, with the edge distance and substrate checked. A raised curb or embedded shoe is used where the slab edge cannot be drilled safely.
