Order Glass Handrail Systems with Frameless Top Rail

t358-12

To order a glass handrail system with a frameless top rail, send photos and approximate measurements, then book an on-site measurement so the glass panels and top rail can be drawn to your exact stair or balcony. Once you approve the written specification, the system is manufactured in our Tel Aviv factory and installed on site.

What a frameless top rail means

A frameless glass railing uses clear glass panels fixed directly to the floor, stair edge or balcony slab, with no aluminum or steel frame around each panel. The top rail is the handrail you grip, and in a frameless system it sits on top of the glass edge rather than enclosing it. The result is an open, uninterrupted view that suits modern homes and terraces.

Because the glass carries the visual weight, the connection details matter. The top rail, the glass clamps and the base fixings must be designed together so the whole system feels solid when you lean on it.

What to prepare before you contact us

Having a few details ready makes the first conversation much faster. Send us the information below and we will tell you what needs to be checked on site.

How measuring and drawing work

Photos give us a starting point, but the final dimensions are taken on site. Our team measures the exact run, checks the floor or slab condition, and notes where the glass panels and posts will sit. Stairs are measured along the slope, which is different from the horizontal length, so this step is important.

After the measurement we prepare a drawing and a written specification covering panel sizes, glass type, top rail profile and fixing method. Nothing goes into production until you have reviewed and approved these documents.

Choosing glass and top rail details

Glass for railings is chosen for thickness, edge finish and safety performance, and the right choice depends on the height, the span between supports and whether the railing is exposed to wind or sun. We will recommend the glass build that suits your location and explain why.

For the top rail, a frameless system typically uses a continuous rail in stainless steel or aluminum with a clean profile. The rail must be strong enough to be used as a handhold and must match the glass clamps. Finish options are discussed during the specification stage.

Production and finishing in our factory

Once approved, the glass panels, clamps, top rail and base fittings are made in our factory at 37 Rival Street, Tel Aviv, where we have worked in iron, aluminum, glass and stainless steel since 1945. Metal parts receive the finish specified in your approval, such as hot-dip galvanizing or powder coating where relevant, and each component is checked against the drawing before it leaves the workshop.

Because the parts are made to measure, the system arrives ready to fit rather than needing site adjustments that could weaken the connections.

Installation and what to check on delivery

Installation involves fixing the base channels or posts, setting the glass panels, and securing the top rail. Our installers confirm levels and fixing points before the glass goes in, and they ask you to check the finished railing for alignment, smooth edges and firm connections.

If anything looks different from the approved drawing, raise it before the installation team leaves. Clear communication at this stage avoids rework later.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to measure the railing myself before ordering?

Rough measurements and photos are helpful, but we take the exact dimensions on site so the glass and top rail fit precisely.

Can I choose the top rail material?

Yes. Stainless steel and aluminum are common choices, and we will recommend the best option for your space during the specification stage.

Will I approve the design before production starts?

Yes. You receive a drawing and written specification, and production begins only after you approve them.

Is a frameless glass railing suitable for stairs?

It can be, provided the glass, fixings and top rail are designed for the stair geometry. We check the slope and the fixing conditions during the on-site measurement.

Common mistakes to avoid

Ordering based on the horizontal length only, or skipping the approval of the written specification, often leads to panels or rails that do not fit the real site. Measuring along the stair slope and approving the drawing first prevents most of these problems.

Our recommendation

Before ordering, decide on the top rail finish and the glass edge treatment, since these affect both appearance and cost of the system, and ask for the on-site measurement to be done before the drawing is finalized.

Summary

A frameless glass handrail with a clean top rail is ordered through photos, an on-site measurement, an approved drawing and factory production in Tel Aviv. Preparing the basics in advance keeps the process simple and the result accurate.
