Glass Railing
ICON Aluminum Glass Railing System is a 42″ engineered guardrail assembly designed for multifamily, commercial, and high-end residential applications. Built around a 2″ x 2″ structural post, 2-3/8″ top rail, and 1/4″ tempered glass infill, the system delivers clean architectural lines with minimal sightlines and consistent field installation.
Precision-extruded aluminum channel and gasket components secure the glass while maintaining structural stability and long-term performance.
Available in clear, tinted, translucent glass, and custom options.

Description
The ICON Glass Railing system is a fully integrated aluminum guardrail assembly engineered for durability, clean aesthetics, and repeatable installation across multifamily, mixed-use, hospitality, and commercial projects.
Designed at a standard 42″ guardrail height, the system utilizes 1/4″ tempered safety glass captured within a precision aluminum top rail and bottom channel system. The glass is not surface-mounted or clamp-supported. It is fully retained within the structural assembly for consistent alignment and load transfer.
