Your property is an investment. Your view is the reason. And the railing system holding it all together should enhance both and not compromise either.
Legacy Glass Railings provides a full spectrum of architectural railing and exterior solutions engineered for Okanagan properties. From residential lakefront decks to multi-story commercial developments, every system we install is built around the same principles: unobstructed views, absolute safety, and the peace of mind that comes from working with a contractor who finishes what they start.
Whether you need a single deck railing, a complete multi-building installation, or vinyl deck surfacing to complement your new system, our proprietary 12-mil post technology, stamped engineering documentation, and local Kelowna-based team deliver the quality that 92+ five-star reviews and 300+ completed projects were built on.
Standard post-and-rail systems obstruct 30-50% of your sightline. For Okanagan properties where the view defines the value, that's not a minor detail it's a major loss.
Railing systems installed without proper engineering documentation can fail inspection, delay occupancy, and expose you to legal risk during property transactions.
Systems not engineered for BC's freeze-thaw cycles, UV exposure, and wind loads deteriorate faster, requiring costly replacement within years.
Every week a project sits unfinished is a week of lost enjoyment, delayed occupancy, or compounding scheduling disruptions for builders managing multiple trades.
Every railing project is different. Tell us about yours, and we’ll recommend the system engineered for your specific view, structure, and budget.
The premium choice for view preservation. Our topless glass railing systems eliminate the top rail entirely, pairing frameless tempered safety glass with our proprietary 12-mil low-profile posts. Available in 10mm and 12mm tempered glass, these systems offer a sleeker, modern aesthetic with enhanced wind protection for exposed Okanagan decks.
Ideal for lakefront properties, elevated balconies, pool surrounds, and any application where the view is the priority. Every panel is custom-cut to your property’s specifications and engineered to exceed BC building codes.
For applications requiring a cost-effective glass solution with additional structural support, our framed glass systems combine 5mm tempered glass panels within precision-fabricated aluminum frames. These systems offer excellent view clarity with added rigidity making them a strong choice for exposed wind zones, elevated installations, and commercial applications. The aluminum frame structure provides a clean, defined aesthetic while keeping costs accessible.
Classic, clean, and built to last. Our aluminum picket railing systems are fabricated from non-corrosive, powder-coated aluminum in 9 standard colors with custom color options available. Aluminum won’t twist or warp with moisture or sunlight exposure like wood, and won’t rust or crack like other metals. Available in multiple heights (36″, 42″, 48″, 72″), these systems meet every BC building code requirement. A popular choice for storefronts, outdoor restaurant patios, and residential applications across the Okanagan.
Transform your outdoor space into a secluded retreat. Our privacy patio railing systems are designed to enhance both security and seclusion while maintaining the clean, modern aesthetic Legacy is known for. Ideal for properties where wind protection, neighbor separation, or outdoor intimacy are priorities without sacrificing the architectural quality of your exterior.
Complement your new railing system with durable, low-maintenance vinyl deck surfacing. Our vinyl deck solutions offer slip-resistant surfaces that are waterproof, UV-resistant, and built to withstand the Okanagan’s demanding weather cycles. Say goodbye to constant sanding, staining, and painting and step onto a surface that looks stunning year-round with virtually zero upkeep.
Developers and property managers trust Legacy Glass Railings for large-scale projects. Our track record includes:
Every commercial project includes stamped engineering drawings, proper insurance documentation, WorkSafeBC coverage, and dedicated project scheduling with 24-hour response times.

Available exclusively through Legacy Glass Railings, the Lumen system is the Okanagan’s only railing-integrated enclosure solution. For high-rise developers and homeowners seeking true four-season outdoor living, Lumen is the innovation that changes the equation.
For builders, contractors, and experienced DIY homeowners, we offer supply-only glass and aluminum railing packages. Each system comes with fabricated components, hardware, engineering documentation, and installation guidance the same premium materials we use on our own projects, ready for your crew to install.
Okanagan lakefront properties demand railing systems that respect the view. Our 12-mil post technology was engineered specifically for this application preserving wide-angle sightlines across Okanagan Lake, Wood Lake, and Kalamalka Lake while meeting the structural demands of waterfront elevation and wind exposure.
Elevated installations on upper-floor balconies and multi-story structures require engineering precision that goes beyond ground-level applications. Our systems are designed for the specific wind load, safety, and building code requirements of Kelowna's growing multi-story residential and commercial construction.
Every property has unique conditions, irregular angles, curved deck edges, integration with existing structures, and specific aesthetic requirements. We offer a wide variety of custom glass or aluminum railing heights to meet specific railing codes including 36", 42", 48", and 72". Our fabrication process accommodates custom configurations that standard off-the-shelf systems cannot match.
Close your eyes and picture the deck after the railings are installed. The glass catches the morning light. The posts have all but disappeared. You walk to the edge and the lake fills your entire field of vision: no bars, no bulk, no visual interruption. Guests stop mid-conversation to take it in. The indoor-outdoor boundary dissolves.
That is not an upgrade. That is a transformation. And every Legacy installation is engineered to deliver exactly that moment.
We believe you should understand every dollar before you commit it. Each Legacy Glass Railings project begins with a detailed, line-item estimate that breaks down materials, fabrication, engineering, and installation separately. There are no bundled costs, no vague allowances, and no surprise invoices.
Typical residential glass railing projects in the Okanagan range from $150 to $350+ per linear foot installed, depending on system type, height, and installation complexity. Commercial projects are scoped individually. Full payment is collected upon completion you pay when the final walkthrough confirms you’re 100% satisfied.
Our clients value honest communication, fair pricing, and quality work that lasts. From first consultation to final inspection, we’re committed to delivering results that exceed expectations.
We believe honest communication builds trust. Here are answers to the most common questions we receive about our railing systems.
Residential glass railing installation typically ranges from $150 to $350+ per linear foot, depending on the system type (5mm framed, 10mm topless, or 12mm topless), glass thickness, post configuration, and installation complexity. We provide detailed estimates after an on-site assessment.
Most residential installations are completed in 1-3 days on-site. The full project cycle consultation, engineering, fabrication, and installation typically spans 3-6 weeks. After the posts are installed, glass is ordered to fit the site precisely. Commercial timelines are customized based on project scope.
Topless glass railing systems remove the top rail entirely, eliminating obstacles in your line of sight. They use thicker 10mm or 12mm glass for a sleek, modern look. Traditional framed glass railings include a top and bottom aluminum frame for additional stability, and use a thinner 5mm glass making them a more cost-effective solution.
Yes. Our systems are engineered for both interior and exterior applications, including deck railings, balcony systems, staircase railings, pool surrounds, and interior loft or mezzanine barriers.
Yes. Our supply-only option provides fabricated glass panels, aluminum components, hardware, and engineering documentation for builders or experienced installers who prefer to handle installation independently.
Permit requirements vary by municipality and project scope. Most residential deck railing replacements in Kelowna do not require a building permit, but new construction and commercial installations typically do. We handle the engineering documentation required for permit applications and guide you through the process.
Aluminum is superior to wood because it won't twist or warp with exposure to moisture or sunlight, and requires far less upkeep. It's also superior to other metals because it won't absorb moisture, meaning no rust or cracking. Aluminum is lightweight and versatile, allowing seamless transitions between different railing types within the same project glass on the deck transitioning to picket down the stairs, for example.
