Glass railing posts offer innovative alternative to traditional models

Aug. 17, 2011

Durarail’s Panorama Post is designed for topless glass railings for a nearly invisible appearance. A round glass track helps installers adjust the angle of the glass up to 30 degrees in each direction. Posts are available in surface-mounted and fascia designs. Extruded glass channels eliminate welding, cutting down on installation costs; vinyl inserts eliminate caulking. In commercial uses, the posts can be installed on decks and balconies as an alternative to traditional railing posts.
