Aluminum & Glass Railings in Delta, BC

Deck, stair and entry railings for Ladner, Tsawwassen and North Delta

Railing Experts supplies and installs aluminum picket railings, glass railings, stair railings and handrails across Delta. In the past year our crew worked for 12 Delta clients – homeowners in Ladner and Tsawwassen, and builders and deck contractors finishing new homes and rebuilt decks.

We're based just up the road in Surrey, so Delta jobs are close to home. We work in Ladner, Tsawwassen and North Delta, from the Boundary Bay and Beach Grove areas to Sunshine Hills.

Railings we install in Delta

• Aluminum picket railings – powder-coated black, white or custom colours for decks, porches and balconies. No painting, no rot – a good fit for the wind and salt air near the water.
• Glass railings – tempered glass with aluminum posts, or 12 mm glass for a cleaner look, so a deck keeps its view of the yard, the farmland or the bay.
• Stair railings and handrails – exterior deck stairs, front steps, garden paths and stone steps.
• Replacement railings – swapping tired wood railings for aluminum on older Delta homes.
• Railings for builders – new decks and new homes for local deck builders and general contractors.

Delta railing FAQs

How high does my deck or stair railing need to be?
Under the BC Building Code, guards on a house generally need to be at least 36" (900 mm) high where the deck is 5'11" (1.8 m) or less above the ground, and 42" (1070 mm) when it's higher. Openings must be small enough that a 4" (100 mm) sphere can't pass through.

Do I need a permit to replace my railing in Delta?
Replacing an existing railing usually doesn't need a permit, but new decks and major changes often do. Check with the City of Delta for your address – we'll supply the railing details your permit needs.

Will aluminum hold up near the water in Tsawwassen and Ladner?
Yes. Powder-coated aluminum doesn't rust or rot, and it doesn't need repainting. Rinsing it with fresh water now and then keeps salt residue off the finish.

How long does installation take?
Once materials are ready, most homes are installed in one or two days. Custom-cut glass adds time for fabrication after we measure.
