Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We design, fabricate, and install glass railing systems for both interior and exterior applications. Interior railings are commonly used for staircases, lofts, and balconies, while exterior railings are ideal for decks, terraces, and patios. Each system is engineered for its specific environment, interior railings emphasize clean detailing and transparency, while exterior installations are built with weather-resistant materials suitable for the Pacific Northwest climate.

Yes. Custom Railings WA provides glass railing solutions for residential homes and commercial buildings across Seattle and the Puget Sound region. Residential projects often feature frameless or post-mounted systems for staircases and decks, while commercial applications include balconies, office mezzanines, and public spaces requiring high structural performance and code compliance.

Yes. We handle multifamily balconies, office mezzanines, hotel lobbies, and public-facing terraces across Bellevue, the Spring District, and the broader Eastside.

Yes, and commercial work in Bellevue is a significant part of what we do. We work with GCs and architects on Spring District buildouts, mixed-use projects along the Bel-Red corridor, multi-family entries in Overlake and Wilburton, and corporate campus projects. We can produce shop drawings, coordinate with your project schedule. If you are early in the design phase on a Bellevue commercial project, getting us involved before permit submittal is usually worth the time.

Yes, and we are set up for that kind of engagement. We work with facilities managers, GCs, and architects on commercial and campus-scale awning projects. We can provide shop drawings, and work within your existing project schedule.

Yes. We work directly with GCs, architects, and developers across Seattle on commercial metal awning projects. If you're managing a new restaurant buildout in SLU, a retail strip in Capitol Hill, or a multi-family entry in the Central District, get in touch early.

Very well, when specified for it. The lakeside damp corrodes ordinary hardware, so near the water we use 316-grade stainless for cable and glass, rust-free aluminum or finished steel elsewhere, and seal every connection. Built this way, a railing handles years on a Kirkland waterfront deck without the corrosion or loosening a generic system would show.

Well, when built for it. The material and finish are what matter: a multi-step coating over steel, rust-free aluminum, marine-grade stainless for cable and glass hardware, and sealed connections so moisture cannot collect at the joints. Built this way, a railing handles years of Kent wet without staining or loosening, and being local, we are easy to reach if a question ever comes up.
