Paragon
Moisture seeps into the posts, causing decay in the deck framing, especially during our wet winters. A wobbly railing poses a safety risk long before a full rebuild is needed.
Sometimes, the issue is simply blocking the view. A solid wooden barrier obstructs your sightline to the garden, making your outdoor area feel cramped.

Better Views and Strength
Your deck needs a railing that opens up the view instead of blocking it. Glass and aluminum railings for Vancouver homes replace rotting wood with materials that work well in wet weather.
Aluminum frames resist rust and won’t warp. Tempered glass panels handle moisture without hazing or cracking. You get a railing that stays clear and strong for many years.
In Chartwell, steep lots and open decks face winter rain and salty air. Wooden railings soak up moisture and start to rot after a few seasons.
Aluminum and glass railing systems shed water quickly. The glass panels act as a windbreak without blocking the ocean views that make homes here unique. You get a railing that looks good even after ten years of coastal weather.
Installation in Chartwell
Installing glass railings on sloped lots in Chartwell starts with aluminum posts. We drill into the concrete deck or footing and set each post in a strong epoxy anchor. This method is better than surface-mounting with expansion bolts, which can loosen over time.
We level the base shoe channel across the posts to adjust for any deck slope toward the view. Tempered, heat-soaked glass panels slide into the channel and are secured with a continuous EPDM gasket. This gasket absorbs vibration and prevents the glass from touching metal.
For top rail options, we can use a continuous aluminum cap that snaps over the glass or a separate handrail that mounts to the posts. Every fastener is made of marine-grade 316 stainless steel to resist direct salt exposure from Howe Sound.
A railing system on a Chartwell deck must handle water properly. The base shoe has internal weep channels that let rain and sea spray drain out through the bottom, preventing water from pooling against the glass edge.
The aluminum parts are powder-coated with a marine-grade finish. This creates a non-porous barrier that resists damage from salt in the air. We also isolate the aluminum from the concrete using a bituminous paint or a PVC shim at each post base. This breaks the galvanic cell that moisture could create.
This separation layer is important for durability. Without it, alkaline concrete and aluminum can react with salt moisture, leading to fast corrosion at critical points.
