Glass Railings & Glass Handrails
Glass railings add safety without blocking views or daylight. CBE Glass fabricates and installs frameless glass stair railings, balcony and rooftop glass guardrails, glass handrails and interior glass guards for commercial and residential buildings in Washington DC, Maryland and Northern Virginia.
Glass railing systems
- Frameless glass railings with base shoe (U-channel)
- Standoff and point-supported glass railings
- Glass stair railings with wood or stainless top rail and handrail
- Rooftop terrace and balcony glass guardrails
- Interior glass guards for lobbies, atriums and mezzanines
- Pool fences and glass windscreens
Designed for safety and style
We use tempered and laminated safety glass with code-compliant hardware. Each system is measured on site and installed level and plumb, for railings that look perfect and pass inspection. Our railing projects include the Capitol East glass railings in Washington DC, glass guards at the DC Public Library and stair glass at an INOVA hospital.
