Glass Railing Proposals for Contractors | Techno Kol Uzi
t339-15

Contractors request a glass railing proposal by sending project photos, plans and the railing locations to Techno Kol Uzi. After an on-site measurement, the factory prepares a written specification and drawing for your approval before production starts. Pricing is then based on the confirmed scope of each project.
Who this request process is built for
This page is written for contractors, architects, interior designers and building committees who need glass railings for several floors, balconies or terraces within one project. Each job is different in height, span, glass type and fixing method, so a single standard figure rarely fits. Techno Kol Uzi manufactures every railing to measure in its Tel Aviv factory, which means proposals are built around your actual drawings.
If you handle multiple units, it helps to group them by type: balcony railings, stair railings, rooftop barriers and interior partitions each follow a slightly different detail.
What to send with your request
A clear request saves time on both sides. The more information you provide at the start, the more accurate the written proposal will be.
- Photos of each location, taken straight on and at an angle
- Architectural plans or sketches with dimensions
- Floor levels, railing height and the type of substrate (concrete, steel, tile edge)
- Preferred glass type, edge finish and hardware style
- Target schedule and site access notes
On-site measurement and drawings
Glass railings depend on exact dimensions, so the factory team measures on site before anything is manufactured. Measurements capture spans, wall returns, slab edges and any irregularities that a drawing may not show. The information then goes into a detailed drawing that shows posts or channels, glass panels, fixings and handrail profile.
Please review the drawing carefully. Any change at this stage is far simpler than correcting installed work.
Written specification and approval
Once measurements are confirmed, you receive a written specification covering materials, glass build-up, finish and installation notes for each location. This document is the basis for your proposal and for coordination with the building committee or architect.
Approval happens in writing. Production begins only after you confirm the drawing and specification, which protects both your schedule and your budget from unplanned changes.
Materials and finishing options
Glass railings can combine toughened or laminated glass with stainless steel, aluminum or steel framing, depending on the look and use. Finishes such as hot-dip galvanizing and powder coating protect steel elements against weather, which matters for balconies and rooftops in Israel's climate.
Railing design should also be checked against the Israeli railing standard SI 1142 and the requirements of your engineer. For exact load and height values, confirm with the engineer on your project rather than relying on general figures.
Installation coordination and handover
Installation planning works best when fixing points, slab edges and finishing trades are agreed early. Share the approved drawing with your site team so that anchor positions, waterproofing and tile edges are prepared in time. Glass panels should be protected on site until the final fixing stage.
After installation, check alignment, fixings and glass edges together with your site supervisor before handover to the client.
Frequently asked questions
What information do I need to send for a glass railing proposal?
Send photos of each location, plans with dimensions, floor levels, the substrate type and your preferred glass and finish. This lets the factory understand the scope before the site visit.
Is the proposal based on a site measurement?
Yes. Measurements are taken on site so the drawing reflects the real conditions, including wall returns, slab edges and any irregularities.
Can I change the design after approving the drawing?
Changes are possible before production starts, which is why the drawing and written specification are reviewed and approved first. Later changes may affect the scope of the proposal.
Do glass railings need to meet a standard?
Railings should be designed in line with the Israeli railing standard SI 1142 and your engineer's requirements. Confirm exact values with the engineer for your project.
Common mistakes to avoid
Requesting a proposal without measurements or with only approximate sizes often leads to revisions later. Approving a drawing without checking fixing points and glass edges can cause costly rework during installation.
Our recommendation
Send one complete package per building or floor, with plans and photos, and ask for the drawing and specification to be approved in writing before production. This keeps your proposal accurate and your schedule under control.
Summary
A good glass railing proposal starts with complete information, an on-site measurement, a clear drawing and a written approval before production.
