Hamilton’s escarpment lots and lake-view properties are made for frameless glass railings — an unobstructed sightline on a deck, stair or balcony, engineered to hold. Every install meets the Ontario Building Code: 900mm minimum guard height for decks up to 1.8m above grade, 1,070mm above that, tempered or laminated safety glass throughout, and wind load calculated for your exposure. Spigot, channel and post systems are each anchored to the real substrate — concrete, wood or steel — never guessed.
The glass and hardware survive Canadian freeze-thaw, snow load and wind without fatigue: stainless or marine-grade aluminium, no rust, no repainting. Maintenance is a squeegee and detergent a few times a year. Designed, fabricated and installed by the owner, with a written 5-year workmanship warranty.
