Custom Glass Railing Solutions for Homes & Businesses

Many of our clients come to us because they want their home or business to feel brighter, more open, and more current. Glass railings are a powerful way to achieve that. Instead of bulky spindles, you get clean glass panels that allow sightlines across rooms and between floors, which can make even compact spaces feel larger.

We work with homeowners who are updating interior staircases, adding railings to new decks, or replacing aging balcony railings. We also support business owners, architects, and designers who need railing systems that match modern lobbies, office interiors, and customer areas. Our goal is to understand how people move through your space, then recommend glass railing layouts that feel natural and safe.

Because every property and project is different, we treat each railing solution as a tailored design challenge rather than a one-size-fits-all kit. We talk through your priorities for privacy, light, and maintenance, then suggest options that balance aesthetics with everyday practicality. This approach helps you get a railing that looks intentional, not added as an afterthought.

Interior & Exterior Glass Railing Options

Once you know you are working with the right team, the next step is deciding how glass railings will show up in your space. Interior and exterior areas each bring their own opportunities and considerations, and we help you navigate those choices.

Interior Glass Railings

Indoors, glass railings are often used along staircases, around second-floor landings, and at loft or mezzanine edges. In many two-story homes in the area, replacing traditional balusters with glass panels opens up the first floor and lets light reach deeper into hallways and living spaces. In offices or commercial interiors, glass railings along internal stairs and atriums can support a clean, professional look while keeping sightlines open between departments or public areas.

Exterior Glass Railings

Outdoors, glass panels are a strong option for decks, balconies, rooftop terraces, and pool surrounds. On raised decks, they preserve views to backyards or wooded areas that solid railings would block. On balconies, they create a finished, contemporary appearance that works well with many siding and exterior styles. For all exterior uses, we account for exposure to sun and weather and recommend hardware that is designed to perform over time.

Design Choices & Hardware Options

Within both interior and exterior categories, there are many design decisions to make. You can choose framed systems with visible posts or more minimal frameless styles that rely on base shoes or discreet hardware. Top rails can be metal or wood, and hardware finishes can range from brushed stainless to darker tones that echo other fixtures. We talk through how each choice affects appearance, maintenance, and cost, then help narrow the field so you are not overwhelmed.

Our Glass Railing Installation Process

Knowing what to expect can make any project feel more manageable. We have built a clear process for glass railing installation that Marietta property owners can feel comfortable with, which keeps you informed and helps the work move forward smoothly from the first conversation to the final walkthrough.

Consultation & Measurement

Your project typically begins with a consultation. During this meeting, we learn about your space, your goals for the railings, and any timelines you are working around. When possible, we review photos or plans, and we discuss general budget parameters. From there, we arrange for detailed measurements, either during the same visit or at a scheduled site visit that works for you or your contractor.

Design Review & Visualization

Once we understand the dimensions and layout, we move into design review. This is where our visualization technology and virtual showroom come in. We can walk you through different configurations, glass styles, and hardware finishes, and you can see how these choices might look together. This step helps you feel confident that the railing design supports your interior or exterior style instead of competing with it.

Scheduling & Installation

After you approve a design, our team finalizes specifications and coordinates ordering through our network of trusted suppliers. We outline the expected schedule for your installation, taking into account material lead times and any coordination needed with other trades. Before installation begins, we review the plan with you so you know what will happen and when.

On installation days, our installers work carefully to protect surrounding finishes and maintain a clean work area. We focus on precise placement of hardware and panels, proper alignment, and secure fastening to the underlying structure. When the railings are in place, we walk the area with you, check that everything feels solid, and review how to care for your new glass surfaces. If questions arise later, our team remains available to help.

Safety, Durability & Maintenance for Glass Railings

Safety is often the first question clients ask about glass railings, and it is a fair one. We use tempered or laminated safety glass that is designed for railing applications, paired with mounting systems that are engineered to hold panels securely when installed correctly. We also follow applicable building code guidelines regarding railing height, spacing, and load considerations, and we design with your specific type of space in mind.

Engineered for Everyday Use

When it comes to durability, glass railings can perform very well over time. The glass itself is not vulnerable to rot, and when paired with quality hardware, it can handle regular use in both residential and commercial settings. For exterior railings, we recommend hardware options that are appropriate for the local climate and typical exposure conditions, which support long-term performance.

Easy Care & Ultra Ice Pro

Our Ultra Ice Pro system is another way we support the life of your railings. This system helps protect the surface of the glass and maintain clarity, which can make cleaning simpler and help railings look newer for longer. Combined with thoughtful design and correct installation, it adds another layer of value to your investment.

Maintenance is generally straightforward. Regular cleaning with appropriate glass cleaners and soft materials usually keeps panels clear. We provide guidance on what to avoid, such as harsh abrasives that could mark hardware, and how often to check fasteners and brackets. If you have a specific situation, such as a busy commercial staircase or a home with young children, we can talk through practices that make sense for your setting.
