One of the new items that we started to carry, sell and install to our customers in the Toronto area lately is tempered glass railings for decks.
Using glass railings for your deck is not simple at all as all glass railings have to be tempered (durable and can stand a big blow) and shatter resistant and although it has been around for many years we were never as comfortable using it as we are now. The reason we started carrying and using tempered glass railings now is because more and more people are looking to achieve a unique look to their back yard and enjoy the view without the obstruction of hand rails and they want a special design.
More so, the advancement made in recent years by the tempered glass industry made the materials developed by them improves greatly when it comes to strength and durability.
As you can see from the picture the glass railing is held together not by a hand rail but rather a solid aluminum post that is bolted to the deck or patio with special bolts. The base of the aluminum post is wide and solid and built to carry a very heavy load according to the building code of Toronto and Canada.
The aluminum railing post is powder coated to achieve strength but also endure the test of time and maintain it’s high quality look for many years and it comes in a range of color to choose from.
Installing tempered glass railings for decks is a process that requires a strong attention to detail and professional deck builder and installer that can make sure the local building code is being followed and strict safety is maintained.
