Staircase Glass Railing — SS304 & Toughened Glass Staircase Systems
Staircase glass railing transforms an ordinary staircase into a design feature. Sun Railings manufactures glass staircase railing for straight, L-shaped, U-shaped and helical staircases — residential villas, duplex apartments, commercial offices, hotels and institutional buildings.
Staircase glass railing is one of our most requested products — and the one where the difference between toughened glass and laminated glass matters most. For straight staircases in dry indoor locations toughened glass is fine. For staircases in public buildings, near children, or in any location where a broken panel falling is a risk — we recommend laminated glass. It holds together when broken. The hardware comes in spigot point fixtures in stainless steel, slim aluminium channels anodised or powder-coated, or PVD finish. We size the glass panels to your exact stair geometry — curved, helical or straight.
