Top-mounted railings

Top-mounted glass railings are a modern, elegant solution for securing a space with maximum transparency and an unobstructed view. The system is based on an aluminium base profile mounted onto the finished surface or the building's load-bearing structure, while the glass panels are fixed using dedicated clamping and adjustment mechanisms.

Thanks to the minimal visibility of the structure, the glass becomes the dominant visual element, giving the space a modern, sophisticated look. Depending on project requirements, the systems can be built with or without a handrail, using laminated safety glass of the appropriate thickness.

Top-mounted glass railing systems are suitable for balconies, terraces, staircases, galleries and commercial buildings, offering a high level of safety along with a contemporary architectural expression.

Side-mounted railings

Side-mounted glass railings are a modern solution where the load-bearing aluminium structure is fixed to the vertical face of a reinforced-concrete slab or another suitable load-bearing structure. This mounting method makes the most of a terrace or balcony's usable area, while giving the building a clean, elegant look.

The system consists of an aluminium load-bearing profile or brackets mechanically fixed to the building's structure with suitable anchors, while the glass panels are secured with clamping and levelling hardware. Depending on project requirements, laminated and toughened safety glass of various thicknesses can be used.

Thanks to the side mounting, the top surface of the slab stays free and visually uninterrupted, achieving a modern architectural expression and an unobstructed view. Side-mounted systems are often used on balconies, terraces, galleries and modern residential and commercial buildings.

Recessed railings

Recessed glass railings are a sophisticated solution where the load-bearing aluminium profile is embedded into the floor or parapet structure, staying fully or almost fully hidden once work is complete. This achieves a "glass with no visible structure" effect, with maximum transparency and a clean architectural expression.

The system consists of an aluminium base profile embedded in a reinforced-concrete slab or floor structure, while the glass panels are secured using clamping and precise levelling mechanisms. Depending on project requirements, the systems support laminated and toughened safety glass of various thicknesses, with or without a handrail.

Thanks to the hidden mounting, recessed railings provide an unobstructed view and a high aesthetic standard of finish, which is why they're often used on luxury residential buildings, hotels, commercial buildings, terraces and balconies in contemporary architecture.
