While we offer glass railings paired with wood, vinyl, and steel, this guide focuses specifically on our aluminum systems. With so many options available, navigating the different profiles can get confusing—so here’s a breakdown of our aluminum and glass styles to help you find the right fit for your space.
1. Framed Glass Railings (Posts & Top/Bottom Rails)
Framed systems feature full aluminum posts with top and bottom perimeter rails surrounding each glass panel. This style provides maximum structural definition and a comfortable top handrail.
| Style | Post Size | Top Rail | Bottom Rail | Profile & Aesthetic |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 2″ Square | 1-1/2″ Square | 1-1/4″ | Traditional framing with clean, balanced lines. |
| Royal | 2-3/4″ Square | 2-1/4″ x 2-5/8″ | 1-1/4″ | Bold, heavy-duty appearance with a prominent top cap. |
| Sleek | 2-3/4″ Square | 2-1/4″ x 1-1/2″ | 1-1/4″ | Combines robust corner posts with a slighter, lower-profile top rail. |

2. Semi-Frameless Glass Railings (Posts, No Rails)
If you prefer horizontal sightlines without top rails blocking your view, semi-frameless offers a strong, modern balance.
- Contemporary Style: Uses 2″ square posts with no top or bottom rails. The glass edges remain open, giving you uninterrupted horizontal views while maintaining strong structural post supports.

3. Frameless Pure Glass Railings (No Posts, No Rails)
For a seamless look where the railing virtually disappears, frameless systems eliminate vertical posts and horizontal rails entirely.
- Pure Glass with Aluminum Base: Heavy-duty glass panels set into a continuous aluminum shoe mounted directly to the floor or fascia. Delivers a clean, architectural floating-glass look.
- Pure Glass with Stainless Steel Feet: Glass panels anchored at bottom points using surface-mounted stainless steel feet. Elevates the glass slightly above the deck floor, allowing water and debris to wash away easily.
