Coastal Home Glass Railing & Enclosure Systems
Hurricane-rated glass systems for oceanfront and coastal residential properties. Corrosion-resistant materials and wind-rated engineering protect your investment while maximizing ocean views.
Key Benefits
Hurricane Performance
Systems engineered and tested to meet Florida Building Code and Miami-Dade County hurricane standards for coastal wind zones.
Corrosion Resistance
316 stainless steel hardware and marine-grade aluminum withstand salt air, humidity, and direct coastal exposure for decades.
Ocean Views
Frameless glass railings and transparent enclosures maximize unobstructed ocean views from every vantage point of the property.
Insurance Benefits
Hurricane-rated glass systems may qualify for wind mitigation insurance credits, offsetting the premium investment.
Recommended Systems
Boundless Railing
Base-mounted frameless glass railings with U-channel system for seamless, post-free views
Framed Railing
Post-supported glass railings with maximum structural rigidity and wind load resistance
High-Wall Enclosure
Full-height glass systems (6ft-13ft) with hurricane rating, SmartLock access, and acoustic dampening

Design Considerations
Frequently Asked Questions
Are glass railings safe in hurricane zones?
Yes, when properly specified and installed. INFINITYGLASS hurricane-rated systems use laminated tempered glass with SGP interlayers that pass ASTM E1996 large missile impact testing. They are engineered to withstand design wind speeds up to 180 mph per ASCE 7 and Florida Building Code.
What hardware withstands salt air?
316 stainless steel (marine grade) is required for coastal applications. Standard 304 stainless steel will develop rust and corrosion in salt air environments. INFINITYGLASS coastal systems use exclusively 316 SS hardware and marine-grade aluminum components.
