Framed Glass – “Base Shoe”

A Floating Glass Railing for the Ultimate Open View

KB Custom Railing’s Frameless Glass Railings – Base Shoe style create a truly seamless, floating-glass look for interiors across Bellevue, Kirkland, Issaquah, and the Seattle Eastside. Using ½″ laminated tempered glass secured in a low-profile aluminum base shoe, we deliver a clean, all-glass aesthetic with rock-solid safety.

Design Philosophy & Functionality

Frameless railings provide a continuous, uninterrupted glass surface—ideal for staircases, interior balconies, and loft guardrails where you want maximum light and an elevated, gallery-like feel.

Materials & Finish Options

Code Compliance

Structural glass secured in a base-shoe channel is tested to exceed IRC/IBC code for guard height, 200-lb concentrated load, and impact standards. Clean, frameless look without sacrificing safety.
