Balcony Railings Built for Toronto's Climate
Balcony railings take more abuse than any other railing on your home. They're exposed to wind gusts, ice buildup, salt spray, and constant UV — all while needing to look great from the street. Whether you're replacing aging condo balcony railings in downtown Toronto or installing new systems on a custom build in Oakville, you need materials that won't fail.
We offer two proven systems for balconies: aluminum railings (picket or glass insert) for a classic look with zero maintenance, and frameless glass railings for unobstructed views and wind protection. Both are custom-manufactured at our Vaughan factory and installed by our own crew — no subcontractors.
Aluminum vs Glass Balcony Railings
The right choice depends on your elevation, wind exposure, budget, and how much of the view you want to preserve.
Aluminum Picket & Glass Insert
- ✓ Zero maintenance — powder-coated finish
- ✓ Available in black, white, bronze, custom RAL
- ✓ Glass insert option preserves partial views
- ✓ Most cost-effective for multi-unit buildings
Frameless Glass Railings
- ✓ 100% unobstructed views
- ✓ Full wind protection — crucial for high-rise
- ✓ 12mm tempered safety glass
- ✓ Base shoe, spigot, or standoff mounting
