Frameless Base-Shoe Railings
Engineered base-shoe systems with tempered or laminated guard glass — no posts, no visible structure.
Featured Detail
Base-Shoe Railings
Base-shoe railings are the cleanest glass guard solution: an engineered aluminum shoe at the floor, glass above, optional cap rail.
Engineered base-shoe systems carry the code-required load through the floor anchor without posts or vertical structure between panels. Tempered or laminated-tempered guard glass is selected based on code path and exposure.
Cap rails are optional on some systems and required on others — we specify the configuration based on code and load.

Frequently asked
Can we go without a cap rail?
Some base-shoe systems allow a no-cap configuration, depending on the engineered load path.
