Standoff Railing is an innovative railing system that is truly elegant for both residential and commercial applications. However, sometimes there is a confusion between the Standoff Railing system, and the regular glass railing system. These are similar, but not the same.

Chances are that if you live on a two-story home, you have stairs and possibly a balcony, and what 99% of those integral parts of your home have, is a structure called “Railing”, that ultimately protects users from falling down the stairs or of the balcony. It gives that much needed added protection to residents.

First, we’ll give you the easy answer before we get more specific. If you are looking for glass railing for a residential project, you’re generally going to be using tempered glass. If the project is commercial, you’ll almost always be using laminated glass. This is due to building codes. Looking for more than just tempered & Laminate, learn more about all types of glass.
