Glass Rail Systems

TACO glass railing systems components have unique profiles and provide a total systems approach to glass railing design. TACO glass railing systems are perfect design components for balcony railings, concourse railings and stairway railings to create a visual success. TACO glass railing is designed as a structural baluster. Pre-finished top rail, aluminum bases and standard components are designed for use with 1/2” tempered glass. Stock shapes are ready for fabrication and installation. TACO also offers a wide array of custom fabricated components, provided minimum quantities and lead times are met. Certified test results are available on our Web site at tacometals.com, by mail or via fax.

Top Rail

TACO Top Rail is available in sizes ranging from 1-1/2” to 4” OD. TACO Top rail is precision roll formed and welded every 3”, providing extra strength and stability for fabrication and bending prior to installation. Pre-finished top rail is available in anodized or powder-coated aluminum, as well as polished stainless steel. Custom top rail finishes are also available, provided minimum quantities and lead times are met.
