Request a Glass Railing Site Measurement in Israel

t348-39

t348-39

To request a glass railing site measurement, send us photos of the balcony or stairs along with a short description of the space and what you have in mind. Our team then schedules an on-site visit to measure accurately, prepare a drawing and written specification, and confirm everything with you before production begins.

Why an On-Site Measurement Comes First

A glass railing has to fit the exact conditions of your balcony, staircase or terrace, and photos alone rarely show the real dimensions. Walls may not be perfectly straight, floors may slope slightly, and existing edges can differ from what the plans show. An on-site measurement captures these details before anything is cut or manufactured.

Measuring on location also lets us check how the railing will be fixed, whether to the floor, the wall or the slab edge, and what the surface can carry. This step reduces surprises later and helps the final result look clean and fit properly.

What to Prepare Before We Visit

Having a few details ready makes the visit faster and more useful. Clear photos of the area from several angles are a good start, and a rough sketch with approximate lengths helps us plan the route of our visit.

  • Photos of the balcony, stairs or terrace from different sides
  • Approximate length and height of the area to be protected
  • Notes on the surface material, such as concrete, tile or steel
  • Any preferences for glass type, frame style or finish
  • A convenient time for the visit

What Happens During the Site Visit

During the visit, our team measures the length, height and fixing points, and checks the condition of the surface. We note any obstacles such as drains, lighting, or door swings, and discuss how the railing will meet the floor, wall or stair edge.

You are welcome to ask questions and point out what matters to you, whether that is an open view or a particular sense of privacy. We record everything so the next steps are based on accurate information rather than estimates.

Drawing, Specification and Your Approval

After the measurement, we prepare a drawing and a written specification that describe the railing, the glass, the fixings and the finish. This document gives you a clear picture of what will be produced and where it will be installed.

Nothing goes into production until you have reviewed and approved the drawing and specification. If you want a change, it is far easier to adjust it at this stage than after manufacturing. Final safety details, including the Israeli railing standard SI 1142, are checked with our engineer.

Production and Finishing at Our Factory

Our factory at 37 Rival Street in Tel Aviv manufactures the metal parts and prepares the glass railing components to your measurements. Work is made to order, so each railing matches its own location rather than a standard size.

Metal parts can be finished with hot-dip galvanizing or powder coating, depending on the environment and the look you want. Finishing is completed before the railing leaves the workshop, which helps the installation go smoothly.

Installation and Final Check

On installation day, our team fixes the railing according to the approved drawing and the measurements taken during the visit. We check alignment, fixing strength and the position of the glass before we consider the job complete.

After installation, we review the result with you and answer any questions about care and cleaning. Keeping the glass clean and checking fixings from time to time helps the railing look good for years.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be home for the site measurement?

It is helpful if someone who knows the space can be present to answer questions and show access points. If you cannot attend, let us know in advance so we can arrange the visit accordingly.

Can you measure from photos only?

Photos are useful for a first look, but they are not enough for a precise railing. We recommend an on-site measurement so the dimensions and fixing details are accurate.

How long does the process take from measurement to installation?

The timing depends on the size of the job and the finish chosen, so we confirm the schedule once the specification is approved. We will give you an honest timeline during the first conversation.

Will I see the drawing before production starts?

Yes, you receive the drawing and written specification for review. Production begins only after you approve them.

Common mistakes to avoid

Many customers skip the on-site measurement and order from photos, which often leads to railings that do not fit or fixings that are not suitable for the surface. Another common error is approving work without checking the drawing and specification carefully.

Our recommendation

Measure the area yourself roughly before the visit and note the surface material, then let the professional confirm every dimension on site. Ask for the drawing and specification in writing and review the fixing method before you approve.

Summary

A proper glass railing starts with a site measurement, followed by a clear drawing, your approval, factory production and careful installation. Preparing photos and basic dimensions makes the process faster and more accurate.
