A glass rail gives you the view back. Same protection as pickets, none of the visual clutter, whether it is the stair landing in a split-level foyer or the deck out back. We fabricate and install frameless railings in tempered safety glass throughout Midland Park, starting with a free measure.
Two mounting systems cover most jobs. Standoff mounts pin the glass to the face of a stair stringer, a deck rim or a wall using round hardware in your finish, leaving a slim reveal underneath. A base shoe channels the bottom edge of the glass into a continuous track along the floor or deck for a cleaner, uninterrupted line. Both carry heavy tempered safety glass.
Railings are a code job, not a decorating job. Height, the load the rail has to take, how the glass is captured and where standoffs land are all governed, so we measure the run, work out the panel layout and set the hardware to carry it properly. You can top the glass with a cap rail or leave the edge open and polished. Our own crew handles the install.
The split-level is a Midland Park signature, and it comes with a specific problem: you walk in the front door and immediately face a half-flight of stairs with a wall or a run of wood spindles blocking the light. Trading that for glass is one of the biggest visual changes you can make in an older house without moving a single wall or touching the floor plan.
Outside, the borough's colonials and capes sit on quiet residential streets with decks and porch steps railed in pressure-treated lumber years ago. Glass panels there keep the yard in view from the kitchen window and cut the wind without turning the deck into a box. Older framing needs checking before anything mounts to it, so we look at what the rail will anchor into during the measure.

It is. We are at 108 Greenwood Ave, Midland Park, NJ 07432, running by appointment so you get real time with someone rather than a quick walk-through. Call or text (201) 507-5918 to arrange it. For railings the visit is worth it: standoff hardware and cap rails look very different in person, and the finish you pick drives the whole look.
We do not price railings by the foot, because the length of the run is only one input. Glass thickness, the number of panels, whether you go standoff or base shoe, the hardware finish, cap rail or open polished edge, interior stair versus exterior deck: each one changes the build. We measure the run for free, then price it out line by line so you can see exactly what drives the number. Monthly payment options are on the table as well.
Figure a few weeks start to finish. We measure and template for free, fabricate your glass in the Lodi shop over roughly one to two weeks, then install, usually in a single visit. A long multi-panel stair run can stretch that install day out. Your existing railing stays put until install day, so nothing is left open in between.
Yes, and it is a fair thing to ask before you spend. The panels are tempered safety glass, heat-treated so it is far stronger than ordinary glass and breaks into small blunt pieces rather than shards. The hardware is sized to carry the panel and the load a rail is expected to take. In practice a glass rail feels more solid underhand than wood spindles do.
Railings are inspected work, so we build to what the code requires: rail height, glass type, how each panel is captured and how the hardware anchors into the structure. We lay the run out at the measure with that in mind rather than fitting glass to a look and hoping it passes. If your project is permitted, we work to what your inspector and contractor need.
Less than people fear, but glass is glass. A rail on a stair gets touched, so most smudging sits at hand height and wipes off in seconds. We can add our protective easy-clean coating, which makes the surface slicker so water and oils sheet off instead of drying on. Low-iron ultra-clear glass is also an option if you want no green tint at the edges.
