6063-T6 Aluminium · Floor-Mounted Profiles
Aluminium Glass Railing in Hyderabad
Aluminium glass railing holds toughened or laminated glass in an extruded 6063-T6 profile fixed along the floor edge. It is lighter than stainless steel and quicker to install, and it comes in powder coat, anodised and PVD finishes, which suits residential and commercial towers and long balcony runs. We manufacture more than 15 profiles in four systems at our Jeedimetla factory in Hyderabad. Glass is 12mm toughened as standard, or 6+6+1.52 laminated (13.52mm) on high-rise profiles. Standard height is 1,050mm, and high-rise profiles go up to 1,200mm. Share your balcony drawings and we will recommend the profile system that fits them.
Supply and installation scope
We fabricate these systems at our Hyderabad factory and supply and install them on high-rise residential towers, gated communities, and commercial, institutional, industrial and infrastructure projects. Hyderabad and South India are our main markets; projects elsewhere in India are taken up subject to technical and commercial approval.
Aluminium glass railing profile systems
All our aluminium profiles are floor mounted and grouped in four systems, plus heavier sections for tall buildings.
| System | How it works | Suits |
|---|---|---|
| Bracket base with cover | Glass clamped on a base bracket; a snap-on cover hides all fixings. 70mm and 140mm widths. | Balconies and terraces where a neat finished edge is wanted |
| Continuous profile | One unbroken channel grips the glass along the full edge | Long balcony runs |
| Grout base profile | Profile set into the floor screed, so only a slim line shows | Minimal-look balconies and terraces |
| Spigot type | Short 70mm aluminium spigots hold the glass at intervals | Lighter look, staircases |
| High-rise profiles | Heavier sections for 12mm toughened or 13.52mm laminated glass, up to 1,200mm high | Tall residential and commercial towers |
Profiles are fixed with stud or chemical anchors. On long balcony runs, a centre support pillar can be added to reduce vibration. Matching aluminium handrails, including LED-lit profiles, are supplied in 16ft lengths with EPDM gaskets.
Heavy glass on tall balconies: choosing the right profile
On a tall tower the balcony guard carries the weight of the glass as well as the load on the guard at height. A section that is too light can flex, and on a long run it can vibrate. Putting that right later means access at height, a second glass order and work around occupants.
Our high-rise profiles are heavier sections made for 12mm toughened or 13.52mm laminated glass and rated up to 1,200mm high. They are fixed with stud or chemical anchors, and on long runs a centre support pillar can be added to reduce vibration. The four systems suit different jobs: a bracket base with snap-on cover (70mm and 140mm widths) gives a neat edge, a continuous profile grips glass along long balcony runs, a grout base profile shows only a slim line, and spigots suit staircases. Aluminium does not rust, and powder coating or anodising adds protection. For high-load public areas and coastal sites we recommend stainless steel instead, and we say so at the drawing review.

Where aluminium glass railing is used
Residential and commercial tower balconies, terraces, long balcony runs where colour matching matters, and staircases using the spigot system.
Every package includes shop drawings, aluminium material test certificates, glass toughening and test certificates, and a method statement and QA plan. Aluminium glass railing is quoted from the approved drawing: the profile system, glass build-up, finish and height set the rate. See aluminium railing price factors and the glass railing price page.
Before you order
Whichever profile system you choose, the order of work is the same: confirm the profile, glass build-up, height and finish on the shop drawing, then fabricate. Send your balcony layout, lengths and floor details, and we will tell you which system fits and what we need in order to quote it.
