In December 2024, our team completed a commercial project in New York, NY, installing custom glass railings with wooden handrails. This project aimed to provide a safe and reliable railing solution for a newly constructed staircase while maintaining a clean and modern aesthetic. Using high-quality 3/8″ tempered glass sourced from Canada, we delivered a durable, low-maintenance, and visually appealing railing system.
Client Vision
The client wanted to install a safe and reliable railing system for their new stairs. They chose glass railings over traditional wood or metal railings due to their superior safety features. Unlike railings with balusters, glass railings eliminate spaces where children or pets could get stuck, making them a safer option for families and high-traffic environments. Additionally, the client sought a railing system that was modern, minimalistic, and easy to maintain.
Why Choose Glass Railings?
Glass railings are an excellent choice for both residential and commercial spaces due to their combination of safety, durability, and aesthetic appeal. Made from 3/8″ tempered glass, these railings are highly resistant to breaking and cracking, offering a reliable solution for staircases and balconies. Tempered glass is also corrosion-resistant, ensuring long-term durability without the need for extensive maintenance.
In addition to their practical benefits, glass railings provide a clean, modern look that enhances the overall design of the space. They allow natural light to flow freely, making areas feel more open and airy. Glass railings also help reduce external noise pollution, creating a quieter and more comfortable environment.
Solution Provided
Our team began by taking precise measurements of the staircase to fabricate custom glass panels and wooden handrails. The glass panels were crafted from high-quality 3/8″ tempered glass, ensuring both strength and clarity. The handrails were made from premium wood, offering a warm and natural contrast to the sleek glass panels.
During installation, we carefully mounted the glass panels and secured them with sturdy brackets to ensure stability. The wooden handrails were then attached to provide additional support and a comfortable grip for users. This combination of materials delivered a sophisticated and functional solution tailored to the client’s needs.
Installation Details
The project involved two weeks for fabrication and two days for installation. Our team managed every aspect of the process, from crafting the glass panels and handrails to completing the on-site installation. The result was a seamless and hassle-free experience for the client, with the new railings installed quickly and professionally.
Impact on the Space
The new glass railings transformed the staircase, providing a clean, minimalistic look and unobstructed views. The glass panels allowed natural light to pass through, making the space feel brighter, more open, and inviting. The modern design enhanced the overall aesthetic of the building while offering a safe and durable railing solution.
Beyond their visual impact, the railings also helped reduce external noise pollution, contributing to a more peaceful and comfortable environment. The low-maintenance nature of the glass and wood combination ensured that the railing system would remain functional and visually appealing for years to come.
