One thing that a lot of people have questions about, when it comes to glass railings, is the installation process, how it works, how long it takes, and if they need to prepare anything for it. The actual process may surprise you and today we are going to cover it from top to bottom.
1. Consultation and Planning
The first step in the process is a consultation with the PureView Railings team. During this meeting, we’ll discuss your vision, preferences, and the specific needs of your space. Whether you prefer clear, frosted, or tinted glass, we’ll help guide you through your options. We’ll also assess your property to ensure that the design will complement your space and meet any necessary local building codes. Our goal is to design a system that not only looks great but also functions perfectly with your existing structure.
2. Measurement and Design Customization
Once the consultation is complete, the next step is precise measurements of the area where your glass railings will be installed. This is a crucial step in ensuring that the railings will fit your space perfectly. We take accurate measurements to avoid any gaps or misalignments. After measuring, we may make design adjustments based on your preferences to guarantee your railings align with your aesthetic goals and space requirements.
3. Glass Panel Selection and Preparation
Unlike other companies, PureView Railings offers a wide variety of pre-cut glass panels in multiple sizes, so you won’t have to wait for fabrication. After measurements are finalized, we will select the perfect glass panels from our inventory, ensuring they’re the right size and style for your project. We offer a range of options, including clear, frosted, and tinted glass, to suit your design needs. Once selected, the panels are carefully prepared for installation, ensuring they meet all safety standards and specifications.
4. Installation Day: What to Expect
On installation day, the PureView Railings team will arrive at your property with all the necessary materials and equipment. Here’s a breakdown of the process:
Post Installation: The first step is to install the posts or supporting structures that will hold the glass panels. These posts are securely anchored to your deck, balcony, or other areas to ensure stability.
Glass Panel Placement: Once the posts are in place, our team will carefully lift and position the glass panels. This requires precision to ensure the panels fit snugly into place without any gaps or misalignment.
Securing the Panels: After the panels are positioned, they are securely fastened to the posts using specially designed brackets or mounting hardware. Depending on the system you choose, your railings may feature top or side mounts, or be frameless, with the glass supported entirely by the posts.
5. Final Adjustments and Cleaning
Once the glass panels are installed, our team will make any final adjustments to ensure everything is perfectly aligned and secure. We’ll also clean the glass to remove any fingerprints, dust, or smudges that may have accumulated during the installation. Finally, we’ll make sure the area is clear of any debris and is safe for use, leaving your space looking pristine and beautiful.
6. Inspection and Sign-Off
Before we finish, we’ll conduct a final inspection to ensure that everything is secure, up to code, and functioning correctly. We’ll also go over maintenance tips to help you keep your glass railings looking great for years to come. Once you’re satisfied with the work, you’ll sign off on the project, and your installation will be officially complete.

Deciding to install glass railing on your property can be very exciting but also a little overwhelming if you are not familiar with the entire process.
