THE ALL-GLASS RAILING
The breathtaking all-glass or frameless railing offers unbroken views of the mountains and valley.
As well, glass railings showcase the fabulous architecture of Whistler homes without compromising safety and practicality. Click through our various galleries below to enjoy the Whistler experience and get a feeling for the all-glass railing results.
STAND-OFF ALL-GLASS RAILINGS
What is a Stand-off?
The stand-off is a 2” diameter hardware that is used to bolt the glass to the fascia or side of a deck or floor as an alternative to other methods of all-glass railing installation.
Stand-offs come in various lengths depending on how far the glass needs to “Stand Off” from the fascia. They come in increments of ½” starting at ½” and all the way up to 4”.
The photos below show stand-offs attached to fascia, ends of stair treads, and posts. The close up in photo 5 shows long stand-offs being used. Click on images for enlargements and slide show.
