Tired of splintered railings

Splintering railings pose a safety risk every time you lean against them, especially after a long wet spell. Replacing pickets year after year adds up quickly. Weatherproof glass and aluminum railings eliminate that cycle completely.

These railings enhance your outdoor experience. The transparent panels open up sightlines to the North Shore mountains or your garden, making a modest deck feel larger. The aluminum frame resists corrosion, maintaining its appearance through rainy seasons without constant upkeep.

Clear Views Weatherproof Strength

Splintered wood and rusty metal spindles ruin the look of any deck and block your view of the yard. Glass and aluminum railings solve that problem with a sleek design that withstands heavy rain without rotting or peeling.

The system uses thick tempered glass panels set into powder-coated aluminum posts and top rails. Since aluminum never warps or rusts, your sightline stays wide open through every wet season. Glass and aluminum railings in Vancouver give a clean modern look that needs almost no upkeep.

Importance of Railings in Burnaby

Burnaby’s damp mild winters keep outdoor surfaces moist, speeding up decay in traditional wood railings. On sloped properties where decks sit high off the ground, a failing railing can be a serious safety risk.

Many homes in Burnaby overlook the North Shore mountains, making it important to keep that view. Glass and aluminum railings resist heavy rainfall and provide an uninterrupted view that wood and wrought iron cannot match.

Installation Techniques in Burnaby

We use 6 mm or 8 mm tempered safety glass for its strength and clarity. The aluminum posts and top rails are made from 6063-T5 alloy with a baked-on powder coat. This coating resists Burnaby’s damp climate and won’t peel or oxidize. All fasteners are stainless steel to avoid rust stains on the deck surface.

The posts anchor directly into the deck structure. They can be lagged into solid blocking between joists on wood decks or set with epoxy-anchored bolts into concrete. Base shoes have internal weep channels that drain rainwater outward. This design prevents moisture from sitting against the glass edge and causing seal failure.

In Burnaby’s hillside properties, railings often follow steep staircases. Our modular aluminum system allows each post to be adjusted at the base, keeping glass panels straight and sightlines clear across the changing grade.

Structural Integrity and Moisture Management

On Burnaby’s rainy decks, every post penetration can be a leak point. We mount aluminum base plates on stainless steel standoffs. This lifts the post slightly above the deck membrane, allowing water to flow freely beneath and preventing moisture from soaking into the wood framing. We apply a continuous bead of marine-grade sealant around each anchor bolt to seal the penetration.

The aluminum railing expands and contracts differently than the glass panels. Setting blocks and silicone gaskets inside the base shoe keep the glass from direct metal contact. This setup allows for thermal movement without stressing the panel edges.

Burnaby’s hillside homes face higher wind gusts. We choose post spacing and glass thickness to resist lateral wind loads. The deep embedment of anchors into the deck structure safely transfers those forces into the framing without loosening over time.

Burnaby Permit Requirements

Burnaby’s Building Bylaw 2016, Bylaw No. 13658 adopts the BC Building Code. Glass and aluminum railings used as guards on decks, balconies, or stairs must meet the guard and handrail requirements of the BC Building Code. This includes minimum guard heights and safety standards. Generally, guards must be at least 1,070 mm high. A reduced height of 900 mm is allowed for guards serving not more than one dwelling unit where the walking surface is not more than 1,800 mm above finished grade. Paragon Exteriors designs and installs railings to meet these standards.

A building permit is required for any construction project that involves structural changes. This includes replacing or installing glass and aluminum railings where they act as structural guards on elevated decks or stairs. It is best to check with the City of Burnaby’s building department for the latest requirements before starting work.
