The Viola and Cesario systems are suitable for both outdoor and internal applications. These systems have posts and glass panels- with or without a handrail.  The glass is secured by clamps connected to the posts. Each post must have a solid surface to drill down either steel, concrete or structural timber each post’s base into the floor in order to support the railing. You can choose between square or rounded posts – any height you require!

Frameless System

A frameless channel system can be used in both exterior and interior applications which can either be based fixed or side fixed. We recommended installing where the surface underneath the floor is concrete or steel. This system has a base that sustains the glass vertically. Each piece of glass is securely fastened to the channel base, which secured to the.  A glass railing or stiffeners can be added for additional strength and look.

Othello System

Our Othello system can be used both internally and externally. Most commonly this system is excellent for interior applications such as glass railings and glass staircases where the entire perimeter of the glass is exposed for a more modern look. Standoffs are installed in structural surfaces such as steel, concrete, and wood.

Spigot System  

The Spigot system can be installed for the use of balconies, terraces, porches, staircases, etc. The spigots can be core drilled or surface mounted depending on the application. There are two spigots per glass panel this can either have a frameless finish or a handrail can be added for extra strength and wind load resistance.

A Middle-D clamp system is recommended for interior use only. Clamps are used to connect the glass to the wall while holding it above the ground. This railing system has a post at the bottom of the staircase to stabilize the glass railing. These clamps are sturdy and will hold up the glass properly while giving a minimal finish.
