Stainless Steel Glass Railing

Standoff glass railing is a system where the glass panels are secured with standoffs (round stainless steel cylinders). The glass has holes pre-drilled, it is leveled in place, and the standoffs secure the panel to the vertical face of the stair and floor system.From glass, wood, and steel, to concrete, PVC, and aluminum. Some of these materials have better suitability, and for most applications, aluminum and vinyl are highly recommended. Brass, chrome and copper railings are available too.There are three types of glass used in glass railings: Annealed Glass. Heat-Strengthened Glass. Tempered Glass.A tempered glass railing is made from a number of panels that have undergone a heating and cooling process inside a tempering furnace. In this method, the glass is pre-cut and edged prior to being put inside the furnace. Afterwards, it is heated at around 1200°F and then cooled down rapidly.
