Custom Glass Railings Made to Your Exact Specifications

t349-0

Custom glass railings are built to the exact dimensions, glass type, frame style and finish of your balcony or terrace, rather than chosen from a standard catalogue. At our Tel Aviv factory we measure on site, draw the design, get your approval in writing, then produce and install the railing.

What makes a glass railing custom

A custom glass railing starts from your space, not from a catalogue. Every balcony has its own length, slab edge, wall details and view, and a railing should fit all of them. We can work with frameless glass fixed to a top rail, glass set into a steel or aluminum frame, or a combination that suits the building.

Choices usually include glass thickness and type, the shape of the top handrail, the color of the metal parts and the way the glass is fixed. Each decision affects both the look and the feel of the railing when you lean on it.

Our process from first contact to installation

Most projects follow the same steps:

Inquiry with photos of the balcony or terrace
On-site measurement by our team
Drawing and written specification for your approval
Production in our factory on Rival Street
Finishing, then installation at your property

Nothing goes into production until you have approved the drawing, so you know exactly what will be delivered.

Choosing glass and fixings

Glass for railings is normally laminated and toughened, so it stays in place if it breaks and resists impact. The thickness depends on the height, the span between supports and the type of fixing. Frameless designs rely on strong base channels or top rails, while framed designs spread the load through the metal.

Fixing details matter as much as the glass. We discuss whether the railing will be fixed to the slab edge, a wall, or the floor, and we check these details with your engineer before production.

Design options for balconies and terraces

Glass railings suit many styles. A clear, frameless panel keeps the view open and makes a small balcony feel larger. A railing with a slim steel top rail and a minimal frame gives a modern, industrial look. For a softer finish, a frosted or patterned glass panel adds privacy without blocking light.

Safety, standards and checking the details

Railings are a safety element, so their height, strength and fixings must meet the requirements that apply to the building. In Israel the railing standard SI 1142 is the general reference, and the exact values for your project are checked with the structural engineer. We do not guess these figures, and we will tell you clearly which points need engineering confirmation.

Ask for the written specification to list the glass, fixings and finish, so you can compare it with what is installed.

Caring for your glass railing

Clean glass railings with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive glass cleaner. Metal parts with a powder-coated or galvanized finish need only occasional washing with water. Check fixings and sealants once or twice a year, especially near the sea where salt air can speed up corrosion.

Regular care keeps the railing looking new and extends its life.

Frequently asked questions

Can you make a glass railing for an unusual balcony shape?

Yes. We measure your balcony on site and draw the railing to follow its actual shape, including corners, curves and irregular edges. The drawing is approved by you before production starts.

Do I need an engineer for a glass railing?

In most cases the railing fixings and loads should be confirmed by a structural engineer. We will indicate which details need checking and work with your engineer on the specification.

Can the railing be frameless?

Frameless glass railings are possible, depending on the slab, the fixing method and the height required. We will advise which option is suitable for your specific balcony or terrace.

How do I start a project?

Send us photos of the balcony or terrace along with a short description of what you have in mind. We will then arrange an on-site measurement and prepare a drawing and written specification.

Common mistakes to avoid

Choosing glass and fixings only by appearance is a common error, since the thickness and fixing method determine safety. Ordering before the measurements and drawing are confirmed can also lead to a railing that does not fit the actual edge.

Our recommendation

Measure and photograph the balcony edges yourself before your first call, and ask for the fixing method to be confirmed with the engineer before production. This avoids most changes during installation.

Summary

Custom glass railings are made to measure for your balcony or terrace, with the glass, frame and finish chosen together and confirmed in writing. Our Tel Aviv workshop handles measurement, production and installation.
