Glass Deck Railing System DIY InstallationGlass railing systems like Clearview® railing systems by AGS Stainless are relatively easy to install and most can be accomplished with simple hand tools.
It is important to realize glass railing systems contain the materials for posts and/or top and bottom rails, but not the glass.
Unless you are purchasing your glass deck railing system from a local glass railing company in your area, tempered glass needs to be ordered and
installed separately.
Most companies like AGS Stainless will give you the proper glass dimensions and the homeowner or contractor orders the glass separately from a glass company. Glass companies can provide you tempered glass options like frosted, etched, or clear glass. Watch This Glass Railing Installation Video Courtesy of AGS StainlessThe Difference Between Tempered Glass and Laminated GlassThere are two types of safety glass: tempered and laminated.Tempered glass is heated to over 1,100 degrees and then exposed to very cold air. This process makes the glass cool very rapidly and creates an outer surface that is much harder than the inner surfaces. This, in turn, causes the tempered glass to shatter with rounded edges when broken and is the type of glass used for glass railings. Laminated glass on the other hand is actually two sheets of glass bonded together with polyvinyl butyral (plastic) as in inner liner. The polyvinyl butyral softens the blow when anything hits the glass and prevents it from separating thereby reducing the odds that you will be severely cut if the glass is broken. This type of glass is used for automobile windshields. More Pictures of Glass Deck and Balcony RailingGlass BalustersThe following examples of tempered glass balusters are Deckorators® from UFPI.com
