Why Toronto Homeowners Are Choosing Indoor Glass Railings

Open-concept living demands railings that protect without dividing your space. Indoor glass railings let natural light flow through your home, make rooms feel larger, and create a modern, premium aesthetic that traditional picket or spindle railings simply can't match.

At Aluminum Solutions, we specialize in custom interior glass railing systems for Toronto, Mississauga, Oakville, and across the GTA. Every panel is laser-templated on-site, fabricated at our Vaughan facility, and installed by our own team — not subcontractors.

💡

Maximize Light

Glass lets light travel between floors, making basements and stairwells feel bright and open.

Child-Safe

No gaps for children to slip through. Tempered safety glass is 4–5x stronger than standard glass.

Indoor Glass Railing Mounting Options

We offer three mounting systems for interior glass railings, each suited to different staircase and loft configurations.

Base Shoe (Channel)

A continuous aluminum channel at floor level holds the glass. The cleanest, most minimal look — the glass appears to rise directly from the floor.

Most Popular

Standoff (Point-Fixed)

Stainless steel standoff pins hold the glass from the side, creating a floating effect. Perfect for open-riser staircases and modern builds.

Architectural Look

Clamp / Spigot

Individual stainless steel clamps grip the glass at the base. Low-profile design works well for mezzanines and loft railings.

Indoor Glass Railing FAQs

How much do indoor glass railings cost in Toronto?+
Indoor glass railings in Toronto typically cost $130–$200 per linear foot installed, depending on the mounting system and glass thickness. A typical 15-foot staircase railing would cost $1,950 to $3,000.
Are indoor glass railings safe for homes with children?+
Yes. Indoor glass railings use tempered safety glass that is 4–5 times stronger than regular glass. Unlike picket railings, there are no gaps for children to slip through or climb. If the glass ever breaks it shatters into small, blunt pieces rather than sharp shards.
What is the interior handrail height requirement in Ontario?+
The Ontario Building Code requires interior handrails to be between 865mm and 965mm high, measured from the stair nosing. Guards (the glass panel itself) must be at least 900mm high at the landing level.
Can you add glass railings to an existing staircase?+
Yes — most of our interior glass railing projects are retrofits to existing staircases. We remove the old railings, template the staircase precisely, and install the new glass system. The process typically takes 1–2 days on-site.
Can I choose frosted or tinted glass for privacy?+
Absolutely. We offer clear, frosted, tinted, and acid-etched glass options. Frosted glass is popular for loft railings where you want light but not full visibility. All privacy options maintain the same safety rating as clear glass.
