Glass Railings

Nothing opens up a space quite like a railing that disappears into it. Kaufman Iron Works fabricates glass railing systems that provide safety barriers with maximum visual transparency — the defining choice for architects, designers, and property owners across NJ and the New York metropolitan area who refuse to let code requirements dictate the look of a space.

Our modern glass railings combine tempered glass panels with steel, stainless steel, or aluminum frames, engineered for contemporary residential and commercial applications where light, sightlines, and clean aesthetics are the priority.

On staircases, our glass stair railings allow light to travel freely between floors, making even compact interiors feel expansive and connected. On terraces and upper-level decks, glass balcony railings preserve unobstructed views while meeting the structural and code requirements that exposed exterior applications demand. Glass railings in homes, restaurants, and commercial properties prove the same point every time — glass railing systems preserve views and light while meeting code requirements, without compromise.

Glass Railing Systems

Post – Mounted Glass – Glass panels attached to metal posts at regular intervals. Visible structural elements frame the glass with deliberate design presence.
Channel – Mounted Glass – Glass panels set into metal base channels with minimal visible hardware. Clean contemporary appearance.
Framed Glass – Glass panels in continuous metal frames for industrial and traditional aesthetics.
Cable and Glass Combinations – Systems combining glass panels with cable infill sections.

Frame Materials

Steel – Painted or powder coated steel frames for most applications.
Stainless Steel – Polished or brushed stainless for contemporary aesthetics and corrosion resistance.
Aluminum – Lightweight frames for specific structural and aesthetic requirements.

Glass Options

Clear Tempered – Standard transparent glass for maximum visibility.
Frosted – Translucent glass for privacy while transmitting light.
Tinted – Gray, bronze, or blue-tinted glass for solar control and aesthetics.
Low Iron – Ultra-clear glass without the green tint of standard glass.

Applications

Interior Stairs – Maximum light transmission through stair enclosures.
Balconies – Unobstructed views from elevated interior and exterior spaces.
Commercial Spaces – Contemporary aesthetic for offices, retail, and hospitality.

Code Compliance

Glass railings must meet building codes for glass type, thickness, height, and structural performance. We design systems to satisfy applicable codes.
