glass banister
"The staircase isn't just a passageway: it's a movement of light that glass reveals.
Highlight
Our glass stair railings are made exclusively of laminated tempered glass 88.4 or 1010.4, ensuring extreme resistance to lateral pressure, impact and the structural stresses typical of staircases.

Beyond their beauty, glass banisters meet strict safety standards. Their transparency preserves natural light, visually enlarges space and creates fluid continuity between the different levels of your home. Made-in-glass.com offers a complete range of customizable glass banisters and stair railings, suitable for all types of installation: flush-mounted, side-mounted or French-style.
Why install a glass banister?
The staircase is a structuring element of the home. It must be safe, attractive and durable. A glass banister ticks all these boxes, and today represents one of the most popular choices for contemporary architects and decorators.
1. Enhanced safety
Made-in-glass.com banisters use only laminated tempered glass 88.4 or 1010.4, eight times stronger than standard glass. The interlayer film prevents any dispersion in the event of impact, guaranteeing maximum safety for children, the elderly and high-traffic areas.
2. Incomparable luminosity
Unlike wood or metal, glass lets light circulate freely throughout the room. The staircase becomes a bright, pleasant, open space. Ideal for narrow, dark or mezzanine spaces.
3. Modern, timeless design
The transparency of glass creates a clean, minimalist aesthetic, adaptable to any style - from contemporary loft to classic renovated house. With its discreet lines, the glass banister gives the impression of a suspended staircase, considerably lightening the structure.
4. A durable, easy-to-maintain solution
Glass doesn't rust, yellow or deteriorate with temperature variations, and requires no special treatment. Regular cleaning is all that's needed to maintain its brilliance.
5. Immediate added value for your property
A glass banister is one of the elements that increase the aesthetic and property value of a home. It lends a premium, modern and unique character to your interior.
The different types of glass banisters Made-in-glass.com
To meet every architectural need, Made-in-glass.com offers three main families of glass banisters, each with its own advantages.
1. Frameless glass banisters
This 100% glass solution is the most aesthetic and minimalist. The panels are inserted into a discreet profile (floor or side), with no visible posts or uprights. The result is spectacular: total transparency, absolute finesse and top-of-the-range design.
2. Semi-frameless glass banister
Combines elegance with extra support. Stainless steel clamps or semi-post connectors secure the glass at strategic points, offering strength and stability without masking the glass's transparency.
Available with round, square, oval or rectangular clamps.
3. Glass banister with frame/handrail
Ideal for those who want a comfortable grip, this system integrates a handrail above the glass. Depending on the style required, the handrail can be made of aluminum, stainless steel, wood or PVC.
Installation methods for glass stair railings
Recessed installation
The glass is embedded in the slab for an ultra-sleek look. No visible profile, perfect continuity between floor and balustrade.
Lateral installation
The profile or clamps are fixed to the edge of the staircase, freeing up floor space.
French-style installation (on the floor)
The track is fixed directly to the floor, ensuring quick, easy installation and excellent stability.
