Types Of Glass For Glass Railing

As a canopy and railing contractor in Vancouver BC, we understand the importance of using the strongest materials available. This is why laminated glass railing is a popular choice among our clients. Laminated glass panels are constructed with two panes of glass separated by an interlayer vinyl sheet to provide a better strength and support system. Not only does laminated glass provide more complete protection against extreme weather conditions but also offers unobstructed views compared to traditional canopy designs. We have extensive experience providing and installing laminated glass systems for residential and commercial projects alike.

Monolithic glass is an umbrella term that covers acrylic, annealed, or tempered glass. Each type of glass brings its own benefits depending on the structure you need and the environment in it’s being placed. Our experienced team will help you choose the right option for your canopy design.

Our tempering process makes our glass extremely reliable and resistant to breakage. Our tempered glass is durable and factory-durable, providing excellent insulation for contractors and homeowners alike.

We believe that acrylic, otherwise known as polymethyl methacrylate, is an ideal choice for canopy construction projects. This clear plastic product is widely available and can be purchased from most manufacturers.

As a manufacturer of annealed glass, we take pride in crafting standard glass through thermal heating and heat-soaking until it reaches the stress relief point between 850 and 900 degrees Fahrenheit. With a canopy by your side, you can rest assured knowing that you will receive only the best when it comes to your annealed glass applications.
