About this system type
Design reference — a rooftop frameless glass railing configuration preserving an unbroken skyline view.
Residential glass work happens in rooms people live in, which makes sequencing and protection part of the scope. Existing homes are rarely square, and frameless systems show every deviation.
What a project like this has to resolve
- Field verification against finished surfaces rather than framing dimensions
- Substrate and blocking behind the finish at every fixing point
- Access through occupied space and how the house is protected during the work
- Hardware finish selected to sit with the rest of the room
- Which decisions must be frozen before fabrication begins
