Fully Structural Glass Deck System

Glass Flooring Systems

A thoughtfully planned, well-built deck serves as an extension of your home’s living space—an escape on which you can enjoy the outdoors, relax with a good book, and entertain friends. A traditional wood deck has some major drawbacks, however. It requires regular maintenance, including cleaning, sealing, and staining, and, what’s more, the space beneath it becomes a dark and uninviting space. Our Fully Structural Glass Deck System eliminates these concerns while allowing your deck to more seamlessly integrate with the surrounding outdoors.

  • Clear, low-iron glass for minimum light filtering
  • Fully independent, self-supported structural framing, designed and engineered for 100 psf live load
  • Designed-in, snap-on setting blocks (80-90 shore as required for structural glass flooring)
  • Standard sizes available for ease of integration
  • 24 fully tested, non-slip textures, included our proprietary Seeded Organic® top layer
  • Custom-engineered interlayers
  • Integrated railing
  • Preassembled in our New Jersey manufacturing facility ensuring maximum quality control and perfected connections for ease of assembly

Choosing the right glass for your Fully Structural Glass Deck System

The top layer of your Fully Structural Glass Deck System consists of a safe, non-slip surface specially designed to meet or exceed the ASTM safety standards, making your glass surface as safe as it is beautiful. There are 24 available tested anti-slip textures, including our proprietary NanoDot® and Seeded Organic® top layers, which are the only ultra-clear textures available that are suitable and safe for wet exterior conditions. Please visit our Anti-Slip Textures to learn more about your options.

Railings and Customization

Glass Flooring Systems is the only manufacturer that offers a complete structural glass-decking system. In addition to providing a structural frame and the structural glass, we also offer glass railings, rods, cables, and other custom-designed railing options, allowing for an incredibly wide range of design possibilities. When you work with Glass Flooring Systems for your exterior glass-flooring needs, you receive a complete package from one trusted, industry-leading source.

There are a number of other customization options available with the Structural Glass Deck System: the extruded aluminum structural framing members, which feature a powder-coated finish, are available in various color choices that meet AAMA specifications. The perimeter frame features an integrated LED lighting channel, which enables you to add LED lighting in order to edge-light your glass panels in virtually any color to create the type of ambience you’re after.
