What are tempered glass panels for decks?

Tempered glass panels for decks are heat-treated safety glass panels used as deck railings. They provide a strong, code-compliant barrier while maintaining clear, unobstructed views.

Are tempered glass deck panels safe?

Yes. Tempered glass is up to five times stronger than regular glass and breaks into small, blunt pieces if damaged, making it safe for deck railing applications.

What thickness of tempered glass is used for deck railings?

Most deck railings use 6mm, 10mm or 12mm tempered glass, with 12mm commonly used for outdoor decks to meet strength and building code requirements.

Do tempered glass panels meet Ontario Building Code?

Yes. When installed at the correct height with proper spacing and handrails (when required), tempered glass deck panels comply with Ontario Building Code standards.
