Custom glass railings for stairs, decks, and balconies. Measured, built, and installed by MG Glass in the Atlanta metro.
Glass railings protect elevated areas without blocking the view. Your sightlines stay open whether it's a staircase, a balcony, or a rear deck. At MG Glass, we design and install custom glass railing systems to fit the actual structure of your home.
Whether it's an interior stairway that needs more light between floors or an outdoor deck where you don't want posts blocking the tree line, we measure on-site and build it to fit.
Glass railings create a safety boundary without the bulk of traditional materials. On interior stairs, the panels let light travel between floors and make the staircase feel more connected to the surrounding rooms. On outdoor decks and balconies, you keep the full view while maintaining proper protection at the edge.
Stairs are the most common install. We align the panels so the railing follows the slope and holds the correct height across each step. Balconies and elevated walkways are another frequent spot — we secure the panels so they perform well indoors and out. Decks and rooftop terraces work well too. We inspect the deck framing during the site visit to confirm it can support the glass and hardware.
How the glass attaches depends on your layout and the look you're going for.
Post-mounted systems use vertical posts with clamps that hold the glass between them. Structured look, strong support along the full run.
Base-mounted systems secure the glass inside a channel along the deck edge or floor. Less visible hardware, cleaner finish.
Standoff mounts hold the panels slightly off the structure for a floating look along the edge.
We review your layout and recommend the system that fits.
Tempered glass is the standard for glass railing installation. It handles impact well and we match the thickness to the height and span of your railing. For areas where extra safety matters, laminated glass has an inner layer that holds the panel together if it's ever damaged. We go over options during planning so the install fits your space and meets code.
Hardware connects the glass panels to the structure of the room or deck. Post-mounted systems use clamps and fasteners on vertical posts. Base-mounted systems use a channel anchored into the deck or floor framing.
We check the framing beneath every mounting point before we start. Hardware finishes can match the design details of your home, and we go over finish options when we plan the layout.
We measure the full railing run and confirm the height needed for code. Corners, stair transitions, and elevation changes all affect final panel sizes. Deck framing, concrete edges, and interior flooring need to support the weight of the glass and hardware — we inspect the structure and pick the best mounting method for your home.

Yes, when the right hardware is used. We install stainless mounts rated for outdoor exposure. Stainless hardware resists corrosion from humidity and lasts longer than standard metal.
Post-mounted systems use vertical posts with clamps that hold the glass between them. Base-mounted systems use a channel along the floor or deck edge that holds the bottom of the glass. Base-mounted shows less hardware and gives a cleaner look.
Yes, but we inspect the deck framing first. Older decks may need extra support at the mounting points before we can anchor the hardware. We check the structure during the visit and let you know if any prep work is needed.
Wipe the panels with a soft cloth and a gentle glass cleaner to remove dust, pollen, and prints. Atlanta's pollen season can leave a heavy film on outdoor glass, so clean more often in spring. Check hardware once or twice a year and wipe out any debris in base channels or around clamp points.
Great communication, pricing and installation. Friendly and helpful guys were able to replace a custom build window. Thank you!
I can't justly describe the amount of money this team saved us on updating the 43 windows in our home. The team was first class from their survey to their installation process and production timelines. Other firms didn't get it right. Finally, they really stand by their work!
Update 10/1/2022 I've changed my rating to 5 stars. Last month MG Glass reached out to advise they received in the square hinges and asked if I wanted to swap out. Why of course!!! This is excellent customer service - own it and make it right! Love how my glass shower door. So many compliments. I've added a new pic of the square hinges. So far so good! Love the way my frameless shower door looks. The reason for the 4 star and not 5 star, my hardware doesn't match the style. The handle and clips are square but the hinges are curved.
