3 Main Types of Glass Railing Systems
1. Dadoed Glass Railing
The glass railing panels are secured within the top and bottom railing shoe. Basically the glass exists within a wooden framework. There is no need for clips or any hardware. This has the most modern and cleanest appearance.
2. Standoff Glass Railing
This is a system where the glass panels are secured with standoffs, which are round stainless steel cylinders. The glass has pre-drilled holes that are levelled in place, then the standoffs are added to lock the panels to the vertical face of the stairs and floor system. This option leaves you with a beautiful frameless look with little visual hardware.
3. Clamped Glass Railing
The glass panels are secured with glass clips mounted to the posts or on the railing shoe. The system gives the option to use either wood or steel posts if you are wanting to accentuate the steel or black hardware. This is the best option for people who don't want a completely modern look, as it has a mid-century modern appeal to it.

There are 3 divergent variations of aluminum railings:
1. Component Packages
Component packages are found at large box stores that consist of roughly 35 to 45 pieces for a 5ft picket railing section that needs all parts in order to be assembled. Then it is cut and screwed together on the project site.
2. Pre-Made Custom
It is full-length 24ft sections that are pre-manufactured and finished locally with pickets bonded to the bottom and top rails. These sections are cut to the proper length on-site that are going to fit like a glove on the pre-made posts and corner brackets that hold the system together.
3. Custom Made Aluminum Railings
