Glass railings for stairs: types, prices and how to choose

Types of glass railings for stairs

Frameless glass railings

Glass is fixed in the floor (via spider clamps) or in an aluminium U-profile. It doesn't obstruct the view and looks as if floating in the air. Maximum modernity.

Railings with a handrail (corrimano)

Frameless glass + a wooden or metal handrail on top. A combination of classic and modern. More comfortable to grip.

Railings with stainless-steel posts

The classic solution. Strong, more affordable. Suitable for both interior and exterior.

With matte black hardware

Industrial style. Trending in 2025-2026. Pairs well with dark flooring.

What glass is used in railings?

• 8 mm tempered — for partitions and shower screens; in railings only as a layer of laminated glass
• 10-12 mm tempered — for larger panes; in railings only as a layer of laminated glass (e.g. 2×10 mm)
• VSG laminated (two toughened layers with an interlayer film) — the only glass we use for railings: it holds together even when broken

Safety requirements for glass railings

According to the Lithuanian STR (construction technical regulations):

• Height — at least 1.1 m in residential premises, 1.2 m in public ones
• Glass thickness — based on load and height (we calculate this)
• Mounting zones — we check the floor strength
• We use only laminated (VSG) glass — a broken toughened pane crumbles and leaves an open gap, while laminated glass stays in place

How to choose correctly?

1. Consider the style — minimalist (spider) or classic (with posts)
2. Mind safety — all our railings use VSG laminated glass
3. Think about maintenance — the fewer parts, the easier to clean
4. Hardware = home style — match it with other elements
5. Check the warranty — we provide a 5-year warranty on all products; we measure and install in Lithuania
