Aluminum U Channel Glass Balustrade
Custom frameless glass railing, built in our own factoryDeck · Balcony · Terrace · Pool edge
Only the glass shows above the floor — a continuous aluminum channel at the edge, no posts and no clamps. Frameless glass deck railing and balcony railing drawn to your edge.
Double Building (DBM) is a railing factory in Foshan. We build frameless glass railing systems on an aluminum U-channel: channel cut and mitered to your edge, setting blocks and gaskets, tempered or laminated glass panels and an optional slim top cap, trial-assembled and crated. Installation is by our own crews and partner installers in the USA, Australia and Canada (quoted separately) or by your local contractor.

One frameless glass railing, assembled once before it ships
The channel is cut and mitered to your edge, the glass panels are seated in it on our workshop floor, then everything is crated together.
Top-mount, side-mount, with or without a cap
The mount follows your edge: on the slab, down the fascia, or set into the stone so only the glass shows.
Top-Mount Channel
The channel sits on the deck or slab edge — the most common frameless glass deck railing.
Side-Mount Channel
The channel runs down the fascia, so the floor stays clear — a frameless glass balcony railing favourite.
With a Slim Top Cap
A slim aluminum cap ties the panels together where you want a rail to hold.
Frameless glass railing systems we build to order
Frameless glass residential owners order
Villa & Country Home
Cliff-edge terraces, pool edges and view-room balconies: an embedded channel flush with the stone and low-iron glass, nothing else above the floor.
New Home Build
A new deck or balcony with a stone or tiled edge. The channel sits on the edge or runs down the fascia, and most owners skip the top cap.
Apartment & Condo
Balconies and terraces where the brief says no visible posts; one aluminum line carries the glass.
Multi-Unit & Batch Renovation
The same channel run on every slab, color-matched, with the glass cut sheet repeating floor to floor.
Channel, glass and finish
Four steps, every frameless glass run
Drawing-first coordination
Post layout, infill, top rail and the standards list, drawn to your run for approval.
Fabrication in Foshan
Cut, welded and finished in our own workshop.
Trial assembly before packing
The run stood up on our workshop floor and checked, then taken down.
Export-ready crating
Labelled and packed in assembly order for ocean freight, ready for our crews or your local contractor to install.
Before you order frameless glass railing
Is this the same as a base shoe glass railing?
Yes. In the US the aluminum channel is often called a base shoe; it is the same frameless glass railing system.
Do I need a top cap?
It is optional. Most homes skip it for a fully frameless edge; add the slim cap where you want a rail to hold.
What do you need for a quote?
The run length, a deck plan, stair photo or elevation, the finish you want, and the ship-to city. A phone photo with rough measurements is enough to start; we reply with shop drawings.
Do you sell by the run or by the piece?
By the run. Posts, infill and top rail are drawn and built for your deck, stair or balcony and ship together in one crate. We do not sell loose fittings.
Do you ship to the US?
Yes. We have shipped to 60+ countries. Every run is crated for ocean freight to your port, and freight terms are agreed with the quote.
Who fits it on site, and who signs off?
In the USA, Australia and Canada our own crews and partner installers can fit it nationwide, quoted separately, or your local contractor installs from the shop drawings and the assembly manual. A licensed engineer or certifier in your area signs off the drawings.
