Available in a number of tints, CrystaLite glass panel railing systems create the perfect windbreak without any loss of view. Glass panels are excellent for exterior decks, balconies and stairs, yet sleek and elegant for interior railings.

Also a great solution to utilize instead of frosted glass when an installation may require some privacy blocking. The possibilities are endless. Consult with your CrystaLite sales representative for more information.
Pattern Glass
We offer more than clear glass in our railing systems. Matelux, Niagra, and Rain are popular glass options when privacy is a concern. Utilizing our glass clips, your glass rail can be extended taller to provide greater wind block as well.

Configurations
CrystaLite railing systems feature the thickest walled posts and rails on the market; while maintaining narrow sightlines for maximum visibility. Known for strength, weather resistance, and long lasting performance, aircraft grade 6063-T6 aluminum alloy is used in all posts and top-rails.
Traditional
This is our ‘standard’ railing configuration. It utilizes our smaller top rails to pass over our intermediate posts and butt to the sides of larger end posts. Installations done in this manner have far fewer cuts required and allows for the most flexibility.
Post to Post
Post to post is just that, our top rails run and end at each post on a run. This is often chosen for aesthetic purposes.
Over the Top
Again, just as it sounds. Our smaller top rails can run over the top of our intermediate posts; likewise our larger top rails can run over the top of our larger posts. The result is a smooth continuous line that is a very popular form of installation.
Double Top Rail
This is an attractive utilization of our railing system which combines our method of going post to post with going over the top. This requires the use of our large posts and one of each of our smaller and larger top rails.
