    I have done commercial glass like these hand rails for over a decade now. This is a rather damn nice kit for an average diy application.
    One tip spray where everything goes in with glass cleaner everything will slide way better especially the cladding

    Great work!!!
    I just feel ethically obliged to mention that what would be ideal for such a balustrade is to employ a laminated glass (especially given the audience of the channel).
    The main reason for that is based on the consequence of an accidental breakage of the glass.
    If it's a tempered(Fully toughened) plate, it is indeed very resistant but that comes at the expense of the breakage generating several small (harmless) shards which in the case of having a small child can be dangerous as the barrier disintegrates upon user impact. If it's annealed(float) glass, the break pattern creates bigger shards that have dagger-like geometry, and earlier this year in a school in Europe a child did not survive the cuts while accidentally impacting a door that he didn't notice (main motivation of this comment).
    By laminating two plies, you make sure the shards of the broken layer stick to the bonding film, as well as usually preventing disintegration of the barrier after an impact.
    For a more economical balance, I'd recommend laminating Heat-strengthened (a temper between none(float/annealed glass) and fully toughened/fully tempered) with 3 to 4 layers of PVB film (cheapest of the engineering-reliable films). Furthermore, for balustrades, I'd not recommend individual plies with less than 8mm thickness. Please note that this is a generic recommendation and not an engineered solution.
    I reiterate that the video was great and rich in good construction practice, and I'm just really being up to the Engineering duty and ethics of serving society with this type of information.
    Cheers and be safe everyone!

    I guess the type of glass you ordered is Tempered Glass (Not Laminet). I think you should consider an aluminum handrail (or any other matrial you want) for the top of you glass. Because tempered glasses are very weak at the corners and if accidentally something sharp and heavy hits them at the corner, it would get really ugly.

    I like the glass but the finish brushed cap on the bottom portion makes the whole thing look like it belongs in an office building, not a house. You should have put some kind of wood to match the floor. You can buy stair nosing that is rounded on top or get some custom made wood to finish the bottom off.
    You could even use hardwood flooring and cut off the tongue , then just stain and varnish the top of the board. It would match the floor.

    Looks great and all, but I'd just use a thick mar-resistant Lexan instead, your MR10 Polycarbonate yada yada. Even hardened glass which shatters into gravel is kind of iffy. Non-hardened glass that shatters into lethal glass knives even more so. Mar-resistant Lexan is very clear and above all extremely strong, being plastic. Seems like you'd get a basically indistinguishable result, but have a glass railing a kid could tackle at maximum velocity and bounce. I kind of don't get the point of using glass. It's superior in some ways, but sharply inferior in others.

      Hard to do with a retrofit but do-able.

    kinda worried about that. its not high enough for toughened glass to be illegal for this purpose. and for sure toughened glass can take a lot of punishment, including a grown man standing on the panel thats only supported from ends.
    but the reality is, once a toughened panel does break, it shatters into pinkytip sized pieces that offer zero support. the glass pretty much disappears on you.
    thats one of the reasons railings higher from the ground are supposed to be laminated glass (or toughened laminated) which does break but stays intact regardless. (your car windshield is laminated for example)

    Doesn’t fit with the house style, but looks cool nonetheless

    I'm an architect. Curious to know price as well. Nice job!

      This system is around $2,500. Love the overall style of this entire project and hope you enjoyed the video Timothy.

    Looks awesome but you must be constantly having to clean all that glass -- especially with kids!
