Illuminated Glass Railings

Structural glass railings with LED integrated into the base shoe so the panel edge carries the light.

Overview

Designing illuminated glass railings.

Lighting can be integrated into the base channel, the handrail, a side profile or the glass edge itself. Which one we use depends on the glass thickness, the mounting condition and how the surface should read once it is lit.

Designed around your project and custom fabricated — developed specifically for your architecture, then produced to the dimensions and finishes you approve in writing during Design Development.

Benefits

  • Developed specifically for your architecture, not adapted from a catalog product.
  • Built to the exact dimensions of your opening, stair or surface.
  • Materials and coatings chosen for the exposure at your site.
  • Concealed fasteners and clean transitions to concrete, tile, stone and glass.
  • Lighting integration planned into the assembly when specified.
  • Dimensions, materials and finishes approved in writing before fabrication begins.
  • Single point of responsibility for design, fabrication and installation.

Suitable applications

Residential and commercial projects including stairs, balconies, pool areas, patios, walkways, entrances and interior spaces.
