What affects the cost of glass railing?
- Glass type: Clear tempered is the most affordable; frosted (privacy) and grey or bronze tinted panels cost a little more.
- Thickness: Standard channel-mounted panels are typically 6mm; frameless spigot systems use thicker 12mm tempered glass, which costs more per panel.
- Mounting system: Aluminum base-channel and post-and-panel systems are budget-friendly; frameless spigot systems (glass held by stainless steel spigots) carry a premium for the hardware and thicker glass.
- Size and quantity: Pre-cut panels are priced by size, and larger orders qualify for contractor and volume pricing.
- Freight: We ship across BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba; delivery distance affects freight on larger orders.
Typical price ranges
At Mountwest, pre-cut clear tempered glass panels start at around $43 each, with frosted and tinted panels priced a little higher. Frameless 12mm spigot panels and complete aluminum-plus-glass systems are quoted by the project. Because every deck run and balcony is different, the most accurate way to budget is a quick quote on your actual measurements.
