The Button Rail is a point-supported structural glass railing system. It uses a steel back plate and stainless steel mounting buttons to side-mount glass panels to a balcony or stair. This design eliminates the need for traditional vertical posts, giving the glass a sleek, floating appearance.

Yes. The system is designed for flexibility; the steel back plate can either be left exposed for an industrial look or completely concealed by materials such as drywall, stone, or decorative cover plates to create a seamless finish.

The Button Rail system typically holds 9/16” – 13/16” SGP tempered laminated glass panels.

The stainless steel mounting buttons are adjustable in all directions. This allows installers to compensate for the natural tolerances and variations often found in glass manufacturing and steel or concrete mounting surfaces, ensuring a perfectly aligned fit.

The top cap handrails are available in bronze, stainless steel or hardwood. Stainless finishes include #4 satin and #7 polished. Bronze is available in #4 satin, #7 polished, and antiqued all with a clear lacquer coating. Hardwood is delivered sanded, with final finish applied in the field by another trade.
