Our glass railings are designed for both indoor and outdoor use.

Glass railings can be used for both indoor and outdoor applications. Glass balustrades are a great indoor choice for stairs and galleries, while they are used mainly for balconies and terraces in outdoor settings. They provide reliable fall protection while also giving a modern and attractive appearance.

Glass balustrades for indoor use:

• Glass stair railings: A staircase with a glass railing looks elegant and modern. A successful combination of shapes, colours and light turns staircases into an eye-catching attraction.
• Gallery: A gallery with a glass railing offers an open feeling of space and a clear view of the surroundings.

Glass railings for outdoor use:

• Glass balcony railing: A glass balcony railing creates a feeling of freedom and openness. It offers a great view and simultaneously protects you from dangerous falls.
• Glass terrace railing: A terrace with a glass railing is a real eye-catcher. It gives your terrace a special touch and lets you enjoy your surroundings.

Glass railings can provide a versatile solution for many different situations as well. They are ideal for stairways as they give a modern aesthetic while ensuring safety. A wheelchair walkway with a glass railing not only offers accessibility, but also an attractive design. Furthermore, glass railings can also serve as property enclosures or as a windscreen on balconies by creating a clear barrier. With their transparent appearance, glass railings blend seamlessly into different environments and offer both protection and aesthetic added value.

Designs

We offer a wide range of glass balustrade designs.

• All-glass railing: An all-glass railing is not only functional, but also an absolute design highlight. The transparent look creates an incomparable view and the railing blends in perfectly with modern, elegant architecture. The glass panels are mounted in floor profiles.
• Glass railing with stainless steel posts: A post railing with glass infill is a stable, durable and versatile solution. By combining individual elements from our different series for post railings, numerous individual design options are available here. The stainless steel posts can be supplied in various designs so that they can be optimally adapted to the structural conditions. With these flexible options for components, you can design your railing according to your personal preferences and requirements.
• Aluminium railings with glass infill: Aluminium railings with glass infill not only offer a cost-efficient and low-maintenance solution, but also enable the prefabrication of entire modules. Due to the prefabrication of the modules the railing can be installed a lot quicker and more efficiently.
• Balustrades with glass frame tubes: A railing with glass frame tubes impresses with its straight-lined appearance. The glass elements are attached to the railing post with stainless steel tubes and stainless steel brackets, resulting in a clear and modern look.
• Juliet balconies – chest rails: Fall protection at floor-to-ceiling windows is often called a "Juliet balcony". This is attached directly in front of or on top of the window instead of a conventional balcony and thus offers safe protection. In the case of floor-to-ceiling windows, fall protection is required by law. Glass railings are the ideal solution here, as they are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also extremely robust and durable. The use of high-quality safety glass also ensures maximum safety. The glass railing blends in with the façade and lets plenty of light into the room.

Our different mounting options for stylish glass balustrades

There are various options to mount a glass balustrade, with considerations including the customer’s requirements and applicable building regulations. Here are the most common types:

• Top-mounted base channels: For top-mounted installation with base channels, it is important that the base channel is selected according to the load of the glass railing. Q-railing offers a wide range of base profiles for different applications, from light to extremely high loads, to meet individual needs and requirements. Feel free to contact us to find the ideal system for your project.
• Fascia mounting: Fitting a profile to the side of the building ensures that no extra space is needed on the balcony or terrace. This allows for maximum usable space and extends the living space outdoors.
• Mounting the glass infills with glass clamps, base glass clamps and glass adapters: With this method, the glass clamps are used to fix the glass panels to stainless steel posts or a wall, for example. The floor glass clamps, on the other hand, are bolted to the floor and secure the glass panels from below. In addition to glass clamps and floor glass clamps, there are also glass adapters where the clamps are located in the glass panel.

It is important to note that the choice of mounting method will depend on various factors, including the size and thickness of the glass, the load-bearing capacity of the supporting construction, and the local regulations. Here at Q-railing, we can offer you extensive advice when it comes to choosing the right mounting method for your project.
