Custom Glass Railings Built for Calgary Homes

Your home deserves a railing system crafted specifically to complement its architecture. We design and install custom interior glass railings, with every panel custom-fabricated for your layout and fitted by installers, the majority of whom are trained in-house.

Framed and Frameless Glass Railings

We offer both framed and frameless options for your custom interior glass railings.

Frameless Glass Railings

This design uses standoffs, fittings anchored into the side of the structure with no frame at the glass edges.

Interior Glass Railings for Landings, Lofts & Open Spaces

Interior glass railings preserve open sightlines across levels, allowing natural light to flow freely throughout your home rather than being obstructed by traditional balusters.

This transparency makes indoor glass railings an ideal choice for landings, lofts, mezzanines, and open-to-below spaces overlooking lower floors. We custom-build interior glass railings for Calgary homes, ensuring each system is sized and specified for its exact location.

Glass Stair Railings

By maximizing light distribution and creating uninterrupted lines of sight across levels, glass stair railings serve as a striking feature in open-concept homes.

We custom-fit each glass panel to match the rise and landings of your staircase, pairing well with open-riser stairs to deliver a clean, modern aesthetic.

Our Design & Manufacturing Process

01

Design Consultation

We begin with a consultation in your home or at our showroom. We take detailed on-site measurements and generate 3D visual renderings so you can preview the final design in your space.

02

Glass Specification

We specify the glass thickness for your project, selecting from 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, or 20mm profiles, based on the span, support mechanism, and location. Rather than using stock glass, a local supplier fabricates each panel to these specifications.

03

Woodwork & Sourced Hardware

Our structural metal hardware is sourced from outside suppliers and made to Prestige specifications. Any accompanying wood top caps or base shoes are custom-milled in our Calgary shop and delivered ready for finishing.

04

Installation & Scheduling

Installation is completed by professionals, the majority of whom are trained in-house. We typically require at least three weeks’ notice to schedule your installation once specifications and pricing are confirmed, which covers manufacturing the components and booking your installation date.

Quality Control, Guarantee & Documentation

Our quality control team conducts an on-site check 24 hours after installation. Small repairs are handled on site, while larger repairs are scheduled for later.

We stand behind our work with a one-year guarantee covering labour and materials. Our paperless process maintains an audit trail, providing you with documentation of your design specifications and installation details.

Custom Railings by Material
Glass is just one option. Visit our Custom Railings page to explore our full range, including Wood Railings and Metal Railings. We also design custom combinations, such as a wood top rail with metal balusters, or glass panels paired with a wood cap.

Custom Stair Construction
We build custom interior stairs, including spiral, curved, wood, and floating stairs. Our floating stairs are built using wood and metal only (no concrete), with treads supported by one or two visible stringers at the sides. We do not construct stairs with stringers hidden behind walls, and nothing is cantilevered or concealed.

Important Note

We do not perform demolition, disposal of your existing staircase, or finishing work (painting, staining, carpeting, or tiling). All stairs and railings are handed over ready for your painter to finish on site. We also do not refinish existing stairs.

Areas

Service Areas: Calgary, Edmonton & Area

Prestige Railings & Stairs operates showrooms in Calgary and Edmonton. All manufacturing is centralized at our Calgary facility, where materials are built and then shipped to Edmonton for installation. We serve Calgary and surrounding areas, including Canmore, as well as Edmonton and its surrounding communities.

FAQs

Are glass railings safe and code-compliant?

Yes, provided they are properly designed and specified. We select glass thickness based on your specific application and verify every design against current building codes during the drawing process. Any engineering drawings and formal approvals are the customer’s or contractor’s responsibility.

Yes, these are two of the most popular applications. Glass railings are suitable along staircases, upper-floor landings, and open-to-below edges. Because we specialize exclusively in interior installations, every system we craft is designed for indoor use.

We offer glass in 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, and 20mm profiles, selecting the dimension based on the span, support mechanism, and placement within your home. Once specified, a local supplier fabricates each panel to those exact measurements.

Aluminum components are available depending on the job, sourced from outside suppliers to our specifications. Whether aluminum is appropriate for your project is a detail we can discuss during your design consultation.

Initial design and consultation timelines vary. Once specifications and pricing are confirmed, we typically require at least three weeks’ notice to schedule your installation. This window covers manufacturing your custom components and booking your installation date.
