Facts About Glass RailingsThese facts may vary from one manufacturer to the next so use the following only as guidelines.Maximum span: Usually no more than 6 feet with glass. Spans greater than this need a middle post. Height: The railing is about 42" high with the post slightly higher to support the railing Size of tempered glass panels: The glass panels fit in between the bottom and top railing. The glass is about 1/4" thick and almost 36' tall. Widths vary with the manufacturer but one that we checked starts with a 6" width up to 66".
