Custom Glass Balustrade Safety Rail Systems in Palm Beach, FL

At Palm Beach Floating Stairs , we offer professional Custom Glass Balustrade Safety Rail Systems in Palm Beach, FL with over 20 years of experience engineering floating stair systems for Palm Beach's most demanding residential and commercial properties.

Frameless and semi-frameless glass balustrade systems are the most popular railing choice for floating stairs in Palm Beach because they maintain the visual openness and light transmission that define the floating stair aesthetic while satisfying Florida Building Code guardrail height and load requirements. We design, fabricate, and install complete glass balustrade systems as part of every floating stair project.

Florida Building Code requires guardrails to withstand a minimum 200-pound concentrated load applied in any direction at the top rail, and a 50 psf load applied to the infill glass panels. Our glass balustrade panels are engineered to these load criteria using tempered heat-soaked glass — a process that identifies and removes thermally vulnerable panels before installation — at 3/8" or 1/2" thickness depending on height and span. Post spacing and base channel sizing are calculated specifically for each installation's geometry.

Palm Beach County building codes and coastal exposure requirements influence every material and connection decision we make. We provide complete permit documentation, stamped engineering drawings, and inspector coordination as part of our standard service.
