BUTTON

If you are looking to add a touch of elegance to your space while maintaining the functionality of the railing, you should consider looking into Button Glass Railing. This type of railing system is designed to facilitate side mounting in a way that the structural surface gives the impression of an unobstructed wall of glass.

When it comes to classy glass hand-railing design, there is no match on the market for the Button railing system. In this railing system, the glass is normally 36-42 inches above the walking surface depending on residential or commercial applications.  It is facia mounted using point supported buttons to secure them to level or sloped runs of glass guardrail. The height of the glass that is below the walking surface is about 10-16 inches. Therefore, we must ensure that the glass is robust enough in terms of structure to meet codes and guidelines and ensure maximum safety. On account of the height of the glass, the glass used is often ½ inch thick in monolithic or 9/16 to 13/16 [NM1] inch thick in either PVB or SGP laminated.

The button mounts themselves are traditionally placed at a distance of 7 inches between the two vertically, which is why the stringers or the mounting surface should be designed to be cognizant of these dimensions. The glass railing comes equipped with a top cap or handrail to assist with the structure of stairs or balconies. There are a variety of top cap options to choose from which includes: shape, color, size and materials (ie: metal, wood).  You also opt out on the top cap for the top of the glass railing altogether (per code requirements).
