Railing Quote

Glass railings are one of the most requested upgrades on Canmore renovations, and for good reason: they keep sightlines open in homes built around mountain views, whether that is a stairwell that overlooks a great room or a deck facing the Three Sisters. We handle glass and aluminum railing projects as part of our broader window and glass work, from a straight-run interior stair railing to a wraparound exterior deck system. Every job is built with CSA-certified tempered glass and hardware sized to Alberta Building Code guard-height and load requirements, torque-checked on install, not just eyeballed.

Railing systems we install

Frameless spigot railings

Glass panels held by base-mounted spigots, no top rail. The cleanest sightline, most common for interior stairs and open lofts.

Standoff railings

Glass mounted off a structural wall or knee wall with standoff hardware. Common where there is no post line to anchor to.

Aluminum post-and-panel

Aluminum posts and top rail with glass infill panels. Built to handle exterior snow load and freeze-thaw, the standard for decks and balconies.

Stair-side glass with aluminum cap

Glass panel up the side of a staircase with an aluminum handrail cap. A common upgrade when a stairway wall is opened up.

Glass Railing FAQs

Is glass railing code-compliant for stairs and decks?add
Yes, when built with CSA-certified tempered glass and hardware sized to the guard-height and load requirements in the Alberta Building Code. We spec every job to code before fabrication, not after.
Frameless glass or an aluminum top rail?add
Frameless spigot or standoff systems give the cleanest sightline and are common for interior stairs. An aluminum top rail or post-and-panel system costs less and is more common for exterior decks that see snow load and freeze-thaw.
What does a glass railing project cost?add
Cost is driven by linear footage, glass thickness, and hardware choice. A straight-run interior stair railing is a different price point than a wraparound exterior deck railing with posts. We quote after an on-site measure.
