Viewrail has announced a new expanded line of glass railing for use in indoor and outdoor locations. Each new offering is designed to hide every piece of hardware and every fastener.
The frameless side-mount, base rail and standoff pin glass systems utilize ½” tempered and 9/16” laminated glass, while the framed systems (with posts) accept ⅜” and ½” tempered or 9/16” laminated glass.
Viewrail glass railing systems have been designed to be simple to install, with basic deck-building skills and tools being the only installation requirements. The glass panels provide safety and make an effective windbreak.
All Viewrail glass panels are fabricated from Starphire low-iron glass that contains less than 10% of the iron found in normal glass, eliminating the green hue common in most glass.
