Exterior & Interior Glass Railing Applications
Exterior glass railings are designed to maximize views while standing up to the elements, ideal for Seattle’s mix of waterfront homes, modern decks, and elevated terraces. Our outdoor glass railing systems deliver lasting durability, safety, and clarity even under Pacific Northwest weather conditions. Using tempered and laminated glass panels paired with stainless steel or powder-coated aluminum components, we ensure long-term resistance to moisture, corrosion, and UV exposure.
For homeowners, these railings provide a seamless visual transition between indoor and outdoor spaces, keeping views of the surrounding landscape completely unobstructed. Commercial clients benefit from the combination of architectural precision and low maintenance, ideal for rooftop terraces, pool enclosures, or multi-level facades. Each installation is tailored to its environment — from frameless standoff systems that disappear into the scenery to tinted or frosted panels that reduce glare and enhance privacy. Every project is designed to meet or exceed structural safety codes while maintaining the modern aesthetic that defines the Custom Railings WA brand.
Applications:
- Decks and terraces
- Balconies and rooftop patios
- Pool enclosures
- Commercial building facades and entryways
Glass railings are a defining feature of contemporary interior architecture, bringing openness, light, and visual continuity into any space. At Custom Railings WA, we specialize in fabricating and installing interior glass railing systems that enhance both residential and commercial environments across Seattle and the Puget Sound region. Whether surrounding a staircase, a mezzanine, or a balcony, our glass railings replace heavy framing with clean transparency, creating a sense of expansion and connection throughout the space.
Each system is carefully engineered for stability and precision, combining tempered or laminated safety glass with steel or aluminum hardware designed to remain discreet while ensuring safety and strength. For homeowners, our railings elevate modern interiors by highlighting natural light and architectural lines; for commercial spaces, they bring refined professionalism and visibility while meeting all required code standards. Options such as frameless, post-mounted, and standoff installations allow flexible integration with wood, metal, or concrete structures, making our interior glass railings a perfect balance of clarity, safety, and modern craftsmanship.
Applications:
- Staircases and floating stairs
- Lofts
- Balconies and upper-floor overlooks
