Architects and custom homebuilders are relentlessly on the lookout for new and exciting ideas to achieve impressive outcomes that meet or exceed their client’s high expectations. Industry professionals strive to set new standards for efficiency and durability, all at a reasonable price relative to the project’s budget.
Simple and versatile, Glacier is one of the top railing choices for commercial installations because its semi-custom design offers a cost-effective way to achieve a high-end, bespoke look without needing a specialized installer. Although AGS designs and manufactures custom components when requested, many of the railing system’s components are standard, which helps keep the cost down and the installation simple.
AGS Stainless fabricated this commercial railing design for a company specializing in insulated glass. Blue is the corporate color, so the railing design is ideal for the company’s headquarters, which is based in Washington State. The client chose a glass panel infill to reflect the nature of the business and add visual interest to the office space and building interior.
Glacier panel railing lets you differentiate your project by allowing you to collaborate with experts and artisans. You can create a look for your handrail that delivers a unique aesthetic and provides a key architectural feature. No other railing infill allows you as much scope to innovate with color and materials and utilize your artistic expression — perfect for a statement building.
Glass Handrail Returns for Commercial Railing Installation
The wood cap rail softens the railing design and delivers a different tactile sensation to the stainless handrail. AGS prefabricates the stainless railing design so your contractor can assemble it like a kit. Skilled artisans complete all the complex design work with state-of-the-art machinery in AGS’ quality-controlled environment. There’s no need for a specialized onsite installer, which is not the case for many other glass railing systems.
