Whether you install glass railing on a set of stairs, to the edge of a raised balcony or on the edges of your outdoor deck, it is a modern look that will stand the test of time and allow unbroken views into the area beyond.<\/p>\n Your options for glass are full glass panels that extend from post to post or glass balusters with gaps between them to improve airflow.<\/p>\n While many homeowners install glass railing around the entire deck, it is often used on the side of the deck with the best view while complementary materials like aluminum railing or iron deck railing are used to complete the project.<\/p>\n This glass deck railing cost estimate includes cost factors for glass porch and deck railing, retail material costs for those considering DIY and project costs submitted by homeowners following the installation of glass deck rails.\u00a0You\u2019re invited to return to Business Finance News to share your deck railing price with other readers who are researching costs.<\/p>\n How much does glass deck railing cost? Home Advisor puts the range at $150 to $850 per linear foot with an average of $500 per foot, slightly higher than our estimate. View Rail\u2019s Cost Guide suggests an installed cost of $140 to $270 per linear foot but considers a narrower range of materials. As you\u2019ll see below, some glass costs $270 per foot without considering the cost of posts, caps, glass treatment and brackets.<\/p>\n Your exact cost will depend on the quality, style and size of the glass deck railing you select plus installation factors.<\/p>\n You have two options for repairing an existing railing or constructing new glass deck railing. The first and most common is to buy posts and deck panels plus the hardware to fasten the panels to the posts and the posts to the decks. These railings don\u2019t have top or bottom rails.<\/p>\n The second, and costlier option, is to buy glass deck and porch railing systems with a full frame. These provide a more traditional \u201clook,\u201d but can add to the expense. With top and bottom rails, you have the option of full glass panels or glass balusters.<\/p>\n Glass balusters are typically 3\u201d to 4\u201d wide and spaced 3\u201d apart. The advantages of balusters is that they allow airflow \u2013 a breeze \u2013 through the spaces. However, installation cost is slightly higher since each baluster must be individually installed.<\/p>\n To show the difference panel thickness, glass type and panel treatments make, we priced three panels from One Day Glass<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Panel 1:<\/strong> 6 feet wide x 3.5 feet high, (21 square feet) clear 1\/4\u2033 tempered glass: $452, or $21.50 per square foot \/ $75.33 per linear foot<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Panel 2:<\/strong> 6 feet wide x 3.5 feet high, (21 square feet) 1\/2\u2033 tempered glass with fastener holes pre-drilled: $1,068, or $51.80 per square foot \/ $178 per linear foot.<\/strong><\/p>\n Panel 3:<\/strong> 6 feet wide x 3.5 feet high, (21 square feet) 3\/4\u2033 tempered and laminated glass with polished edge and holes and notches factory-installed: $1,590, or $75.70 per square foot \/ $265 per linear foot.<\/strong><\/p>\n When you add posts and accessories, it is easy to see how you can spend $300+ per linear foot for glass porch and deck railing.<\/p>\n Popular glass railing and glass panel brands include:<\/p>\n Contractors charge up to $5 per linear foot to remove old railing and dispose of it depending on the material. If railing is all you\u2019re replacing and you\u2019re able to remove it yourself, you might be able to dispose of it a little at a time in your weekly trash pickup at no additional cost.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re replacing the entire deck and want to save money, consider renting a dumpster for disposal and tackling other cleanup projects at the same time.<\/p>\n Did you know?<\/strong> The bigger the roll-off container (dumpster), the lower the cost per cubic foot. Understanding that, wise homeowners often rent a large container (20+ cubic yards) and share the cost with a neighbor or two that also have home renovation, clean-out or down-sizing projects to tackle.<\/p>\n See our Dumpster Rental Costimate for complete price details.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s consider 3 decks, each 500 square feet:<\/p>\n Rectangular, Single-level Deck, 1\/4\u2033 or 3\/8\u201d Tempered Glass Railing on 25\u2019 front only:<\/strong><\/p>\n 20\u2019 x 25\u2019 deck with 65 linear feet of 1\/2\u2033 Laminated or 3\/4\u201d Tempered Glass Railing:<\/strong><\/p>\n Two-level Deck with Stairs & Rails between levels, 115 linear feet of \u00a01\/2\u2033 Laminated or 3\/4\u201d Tempered Glass Railing: <\/strong><\/p>\n Here\u2019s what DIY glass deck railing installation will save you.<\/p>\n A team of two experienced installers can install 10 \u2013 15 linear feet of glass deck railing based on job complexity. There will be a little setup and clean-up time too.<\/p>\n Installing posts and attaching glass panels can be pretty easy when the glass is either pre-drilled or is a system that doesn\u2019t require fasteners through the glass or notches cut for brackets.<\/p>\n Having to drill or cut the glass onsite, in our opinion, bumps it up to a pro job because a misplaced hole or notch can mar or ruin a panel costing $500 to $1,000 or more.<\/p>\n Watch a tutorial for the brand of glass rail you\u2019re installing, since there are significant differences in installation. Evaluate your skills and the complexity of the deck design before deciding to tackle the project or call a pro.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/main><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" $165 \u2013 $700 Per Linear Foot The cost of glass railing, professionally installed is between $165 to $700 per linear foot.
