How to Order Replacement Glass Railing Panels That Fit

t348-43

To order replacement glass railing panels, you need exact measurements of the existing opening, the type of glass and fixing system, and a clear photo of the railing. A specialist measures on site, prepares a drawing and written specification, and produces the panels in the factory after your approval. Fit depends on accurate measuring, so avoid estimating dimensions yourself.

Why Exact Measurement Matters

A replacement glass panel must match the opening it fills, and even a small error can make a panel impossible to install. Glass cannot be trimmed on site, so every dimension has to be right before production starts.

Measurements should be taken on site, not from memory or old plans. The fixing channel, the posts, the floor or stair line and any sloped sections all affect the final size, so a specialist checks each one individually.

What Information to Prepare Before Contacting Us

Before you reach out, gather a few basics that help us understand the job quickly:

Clear photos of the railing from several angles
The location (balcony, stair, roof terrace) and the number of panels needed
Whether the old glass was framed, U-channel mounted or fixed with clamps
Any existing damage to posts, handrails or fixing points

Having this ready makes the first conversation faster and more accurate.

On-Site Measurement and Drawing

Our team visits the property to measure each opening and records the glass thickness, edge treatment and the depth of the fixing channel. We also check whether the surface is level, because an uneven floor or stair changes the required height.

From these measurements we prepare a drawing and a written specification. These documents list the dimensions, glass type, fixing method and finish, so you can review exactly what will be produced before anything is ordered.

Approval and Factory Production

Once you approve the drawing and specification, production begins in our factory on Rival Street in Tel Aviv. Glass and metal components are prepared to measure, and fixing parts are matched to the existing system wherever possible.

Finishing such as hot-dip galvanizing or powder coating for the metal parts is applied according to the project requirements. We confirm the final details with you before the work leaves the workshop.

Installation and Safety Checks

Installation involves removing any remaining old glass safely, fitting the new panels into the channels and securing them so they sit evenly and cannot shift. Every fixing point is checked for stability before the job is considered complete.

Railings must meet the Israeli railing standard SI 1142 in general terms. Exact values such as height and load requirements are checked with the responsible engineer for your specific project.

Planning for a Smooth Replacement

Plan the replacement in stages if several panels are damaged, and leave enough time between measurement, approval and installation. Keeping the same glass type and fixing system where possible reduces the need for changes to the existing structure.

If you are working with a building committee, contractor or architect, share the drawing with them early so everyone agrees on the details before production.

Frequently asked questions

Can I order a replacement glass panel from just a photo?

A photo helps us understand the railing, but it is not enough for an exact fit. We need on-site measurements to make sure the panel matches the opening and fixing system.

Do you match the glass type of my existing railing?

We aim to match the glass thickness, edge finish and fixing method of your existing railing. We confirm these details during measurement so the replacement fits correctly.

What happens after I approve the drawing?

Once you approve the drawing and written specification, the panels go into production in our factory. We confirm the finish and details with you before the work is completed and installed.

Is a glass railing required to meet a standard?

Railings in Israel should meet the SI 1142 standard in general. Specific values such as height and load are checked with the engineer for your project.

Common mistakes to avoid

The most common error is ordering glass from rough estimates instead of exact on-site measurements. Changing the glass type or fixing method without checking the existing channel can also prevent a proper fit.

Our recommendation

Measure the opening yourself only as a rough check, then have a specialist confirm every dimension on site before approving the drawing. Keep the old glass or a sample if possible so the thickness and edge finish can be matched exactly.

Summary

Accurate on-site measurement, a clear specification and approval before production are the keys to glass railing panels that fit the first time.
