Steel Railing
Heavy-duty steel can stand up to any railing task. From industrial and commercial use to ornamental residential designs, steel is surprisingly versatile and makes for an excellent all-around railing material.
Glass Rail
Glass rail is ideal for situations where you need a solid and secure railing but don’t want to spoil the view. The durable construction of glass makes this a safe option for balconies and suspended walkways, but also ensures that there won’t be any lines to interfere with the view. Great for hotels, resorts, and pools. Check out the glass rail that surrounds this pool in the photo below. You can hardly tell it’s there, and yet it still provides the security the pool needs and meets pool fence regulations. A great way to keep the view blue.
