About Glass Railings
Glass railing systems represent the pinnacle of deck design, offering completely unobstructed panoramic views while providing robust safety protection. Dream Decks installs premium tempered glass panels that meet or exceed safety glazing standards, creating invisible barriers that showcase your property's scenery. Whether your deck overlooks a Minnesota lake, a landscaped backyard, or distant horizons, glass railings preserve every inch of your view.
Our glass railing installations use 3/8-inch or 1/2-inch tempered safety glass, which is four to five times stronger than standard glass. When tempered glass does break—which is rare—it shatters into small, relatively harmless pieces rather than dangerous shards. We offer clear glass for maximum transparency, tinted options for glare and heat reduction, or frosted panels for areas requiring privacy while maintaining light transmission.
Mounting systems for glass railings include post-mounted frames that sandwich glass panels between aluminum or stainless steel channels, and base-shoe systems that secure glass directly into the deck surface for a frameless appearance. Post systems are more economical and easier to install, while frameless installations deliver the most dramatic visual impact. Our designers help you choose the right system based on your aesthetic goals, structural requirements, and budget.
