glass railing

See-through safety edge

A glass railing is a barrier or balustrade made primarily of glass panels, used on balconies, staircases, decks, and pool enclosures.

Glass railings provide safety while preserving sightlines and creating a modern aesthetic: The penthouse featured floor-to-ceiling windows and glass railings on the terrace.

They may be framed in metal or frameless, with the glass typically tempered or laminated for safety.
