Overview
A rail you look
straight through.
A glass railing has one job beyond keeping people safe: to disappear. Ours are set in a continuous aluminum base shoe, dry-glazed and levelled on site, so a single uninterrupted pane carries the run — no posts, no clamps, no top rail unless you want one.
Base Shoe.
No Posts.
The glass is structural. A slim aluminum base shoe — surface-mounted or recessed flush into the floor — grips the bottom edge and takes the entire load. Nothing interrupts the sightline above it.
Laminated,
Not Just Tempered.
Guard rails are built from heat-strengthened laminated glass, typically 1/2" or 5/8". If a lite is ever broken the interlayer holds the fragments in place and the barrier stays standing — the code requirement toughened glass alone cannot meet.
Levelled
On Site.
Every shoe is set with taper-lock wedges that let us plumb each panel after installation. Floors are never flat. The rail still reads as one straight line across the full run.
New York City · Private Residence
The balcony edge,
made of nothing.
A mezzanine study looking down into a skylit double-height living room. A post-and-spindle rail would have cut the view into slices and thrown shadows across the desk. Instead the entire run is a single laminated pane in a black base shoe, capped in a slim black channel that echoes the steel below.

Stairs & Landings
Raked runs are cut to the stair pitch from a site template rather than a drawing, so the shoe follows the nosing line exactly and no gap opens at the bottom edge.
Interior
Mezzanines & Balconies
Long horizontal runs where the point of the rail is to stay out of the view. Continuous glass, no intermediate posts, joints kept to a hairline butt.
Detail
Recessed Shoe
Where the floor build-up allows, the shoe is dropped into the slab and the finish floor runs up to the glass — the rail then appears to grow straight out of the floor.

Handrail Options
A slim cap channel keeps the profile minimal; a round or oval offset handrail on standoffs is available where the code path calls for a graspable rail.
