04 / Installation overview

How is a frameless glass railing base shoe installed?

Every order includes a detailed installation manual and drawings. This overview follows the selected system; the approved project details guide installation.

  1. Review the glass railing section. Confirm the channel position, glass build-up and supporting edge on the approved drawing.
  2. Position the base-shoe channel. Follow the selected top or side mounting details and project fixing layout.
  3. Fit the matched glass components. Install the specified blocks, glass, fixings and gaskets in the supplied sequence.
  4. Align glass and fit finishing parts. Follow the supplied details for covers, corners and any specified handrail.
  5. Inspect the complete glass railing. Review connections, clearances and project drainage details before handover.

Our team provides installation guidance and helps resolve questions about the supplied components.

05 / Buyer questions

What should you know before ordering glass railing?

What glass thickness do I need for a frameless glass railing?

Compact 62 × 102 mm channels accept selected 10–17.52 mm glass build-ups (approx. 0.39–0.69 in). The 45 × 120 and 126 × 121 mm options accept selected 10–21.52 mm build-ups (approx. 0.39–0.85 in). Glass construction, gaskets and fixings must match the selected channel and project requirements.

What size aluminum base shoe is used for glass railing?

Section options are 62 × 102, 45 × 120 and 126 × 121 mm (approx. 2.44 × 4.02, 1.77 × 4.72 and 4.96 × 4.76 in). Hollow and solid options use different fixing kits; confirm the section, mounting route and glass together on the drawing.

How high should a glass balcony railing be?

Finished-height examples are 900–1200 mm (approx. 35.43–47.24 in), with custom heights available. Send destination requirements, finished-floor levels, glass widths and mounting conditions so the complete configuration can be reviewed.

Can I order post-supported glass railing instead of a base shoe?

Yes. Post-supported options use coordinated metalwork, clamps or standoffs and selected glass. Aluminum-alloy, stainless-steel and galvanized steel (zinc-steel) supporting routes are available by design; the glass and hardware supply scope is confirmed with the order.

Can glass railing be side mounted or recessed into the floor?

Top and side mounting are available by system. Recessed layouts require review of the channel, supporting structure, finished levels, waterproofing and drainage on the project drawing before selection.

Can I have frameless glass railing without a top handrail?

An open glass top is an option where the glass construction, system design and destination requirements support it. For layouts with a handrail, slotted 304 stainless steel handrails, connectors, elbows and end caps can be coordinated with the glass.

Can outdoor glass railings include lighting?

Lighting-ready compact channels offer optional low-voltage lighting. Confirm the channel, glass, gaskets, metal finish and power route together. Send plans, run lengths, corners, quantities and destination for the initial review; protective packing is coordinated with the order.
