Low Iron Glass Railings

What is Low Iron Glass?

Applications of Low Iron Glass Railings

Low iron glass railings offer flexibility for diverse projects. Whether enhancing a residential balcony or creating a transparent boundary for a commercial pool, these systems deliver both form and function.

Exterior Installations

Balconies and Rooftops: Maintains panoramic views while meeting safety standards.
Pool Enclosures: Resistant to corrosion from chlorine or saltwater exposure.
Deck Boundaries: Handles wind loads and temperature fluctuations in open spaces.
Coastal Properties: Suitable for areas exposed to high humidity and salt air.

Interior Applications

Staircases: Adds a clean, modern appearance with minimal visual interruption.
Partitions: Creates unobtrusive divisions in offices, retail spaces, and homes.
Mezzanines: Enhances the feeling of openness while offering robust safety.
Atriums: Ideal for maximizing light flow in multi-level spaces.

Engineering and Fabrication

At Modern Railing Co, precision and performance drive our design and installation processes. Every component is tailored to meet structural demands, aesthetic goals, and South Florida's environmental challenges.

Material Thickness and Strength
Glass thickness is customized based on application needs, ranging from 10mm to 19mm. Laminated or tempered options are selected based on:

Load-bearing requirements.
Impact resistance standards.
Local building codes and safety regulations.

Strength Enhancements

Tempered Glass: Heat-treated for greater strength and thermal resistance.

Laminated Glass: Features interlayers such as PVB or SGP for added security, holding shards together if breakage occurs.

Edge Finishing
Edges are polished for safety and aesthetics. Options include flat, beveled, or seamed finishes, depending on design preferences.

Mounting and Structural Systems

Modern Railing Co employs advanced anchoring systems to secure low iron glass railings, balancing structural integrity with clean design. Options include:

Base Shoe Systems

Extruded tracks anchor glass panels securely to the floor or surface.
Hidden hardware creates a seamless appearance.
Adjustable clamps provide alignment precision during installation.

Point-Fixed Systems

Glass panels are mounted using standoff pins for a "floating" effect.
Ideal for staircases and architectural accents requiring minimal hardware visibility.

Post-and-Clamp Systems

Combines vertical posts with glass panels for modular applications.
Offers flexibility in height and spacing for both residential and commercial projects.

Compliance and Safety Standards
Safety is integral to all installations. We design systems that align with South Florida's strict codes and regulations.

Regulatory Compliance

Building Codes: Designs account for wind load and impact resistance.
ASTM Standards: Materials meet strength and performance benchmarks for architectural glass.
ADA Guidelines: Systems are adapted for accessibility where required.

Impact Resistance
Laminated and tempered low iron glass options are engineered to withstand extreme conditions, including debris impacts in hurricane-prone areas.

Streamlined Installation Process & Advantages

We use a step-by-step approach to deliver precise, reliable installations for every project.

Site Evaluation: Dimensions, structural conditions, and environmental factors are assessed.
Custom Design: CAD models are created to ensure accuracy and compatibility.
Fabrication: Advanced machinery produces components with tight tolerances.
Installation: Glass panels and hardware are fitted securely, with adjustments for optimal alignment.

Advantages of Low Iron Glass Railings

Residential Applications

Low iron glass enhances the flow of natural light and blends seamlessly with modern architecture. It is particularly effective for:
Open balconies and terraces with unobstructed views.
Pool enclosures that maintain safety while maximizing visibility.

Commercial and Hospitality Settings

Hotels, resorts, and offices use low iron glass to balance functionality with sleek design. Benefits include:
Transparent partitions for improved spatial flow.
Durable pool fencing resistant to wear from heavy traffic.

Industrial Use
Industrial spaces requiring observation decks or clear partitions benefit from the material's strength and optical clarity.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does low iron glass differ from standard options?
Low iron glass has reduced ferric oxide levels, resulting in better clarity and minimal color distortion compared to standard glass.

What maintenance is required?
Routine cleaning with a non-abrasive solution is recommended. Protective coatings can reduce cleaning frequency by repelling dirt and water.

Can low iron glass withstand hurricanes?
When designed with appropriate specifications, laminated glass and robust mounting systems provide reliable performance in hurricane-prone regions.

Is retrofitting possible?
Yes. Modern Railing Co specializes in adapting systems to existing structures with minimal disruption.

What areas do you serve?
We proudly serve clients across South Florida, including Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Parkland, West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Coral Springs, Wellington, Palm Beach Island, Deerfield Beach, Boynton Beach, Pompano Beach, and Lighthouse Point.
