Frameless Glass Stair Railing with Round Standoffs and Stainless Handrail – Irvine, CA
Explore our range of modern railing systems including cable railing systems, glass railing systems, and stainless steel railings — perfect for indoor and outdoor applications.
Mark wanted his modern Irvine home to keep its open, airy staircase, so instead of posts and clamps he chose a frameless glass stair railing. Each tempered glass panel is held off the stair stringer by our round 2" glass standoffs (also called glass adapters or point-fixed hardware). The standoffs bolt through the wood and hold the glass proud of the surface, so there is nothing between the treads and the view but glass.
For the grip, Mark ran a 316 stainless round handrail along the wall on our Round Slim wall brackets, with adjustable and 90° flush angles to follow the turns of the stair. The result is a frameless glass railing that meets code for a stair guard while keeping the living room bright and the sightline clear.
This is the classic side-mount (fascia) frameless layout: standoffs on the panel edge, a stabilizer at every joint between panels, and a wall-mounted handrail where one is required. It works the same way on balconies, decks and interior landings.
