Your Local Base-Shoe Railing Experts in Burnaby

For 10+ years, VanGlaze has delivered museum-clean glass railings with the structural integrity Burnaby properties demand. Base-shoe systems use an engineered aluminum or stainless channel at the floor edge to secure glass without posts—ideal for low-profile decks, concrete balconies, and contemporary stair guards. We measure precisely, model loads, and specify glass and anchorage details for sites in Brentwood, Metrotown, Deer Lake, Burnaby Heights, Edmonds, and Capitol Hill.

Typical builds use laminated tempered glass (13.52–21.52 mm+) with dry-glaze wedges or wet-glaze compounds, optional top caps, and continuous graspable handrails where required. Our installers treat waterproofing and drainage as first-class citizens, protecting membranes and edges for a lasting, spotless finish.
