Why TruePane Windows & Doors Is Palm Beach’s Preferred Glass Railing Systems Company

We’re a second-generation glazier’s shop, not a franchise operation. Dale Kessler founded this company in 2008 on a rule that still hangs on the whiteboard: if the pane is not true, the job is not done. That means our crews measure every opening twice, quote manufacturer lines side by side on paper, and register both warranty layers before the truck leaves your driveway. Palm Beach homeowners deal with enough paperwork from ARCOM. We don’t add to it.

Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they work the way they’d work in their own mother’s house. We’ve handled glass railing on Mizner-era estates along South Ocean Boulevard, newer infill construction off North County Road, and everything between. The salt air off the Atlantic and the Intracoastal eats hardware faster than most contractors expect. We plan for it. Local experience means we know which stainless alloys survive here and which ones start pitting in 18 months.

When you call TruePane, a live person answers. Not a voicemail tree, not a callback form. Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. We schedule Palm Beach work with a real dispatch window, and we’re there when we say. That matters when an ARCOM submittal deadline is approaching or a corroded railing has become a safety issue on a second-floor terrace.

Our Glass Railing Systems Services in Palm Beach

Glass Railing Systems on Palm Beach properties fall into a few categories, and each one has its own set of code requirements, aesthetic constraints, and material demands. Here’s what we actually do on the island.

Interior Glass Railing

Interior glass railing in Palm Beach homes typically lands between $180 and $350 per linear foot, depending on whether you want a top cap in brushed stainless, oil-rubbed bronze, or a custom finish. These railings usually go on staircases, mezzanines, and loft overlooks inside the larger 1920s-era estates. The good news: interior railings don’t trigger ARCOM review. That means faster turnaround. We still use laminated glass rather than cheap tempered, because a fogged seal or a rattling panel in a $4 million house is not acceptable to us or to you.

Exterior Deck Railing

Exterior deck railing is the workhorse of Palm Beach glass railing. Oceanfront and Intracoastal-facing decks take a beating from marine salt air, and the hardware matters as much as the glass. Plan on $220 to $480 per linear foot for frameless systems with laminated impact-rated panels and 316 marine-grade stainless standoff clamps. On any exterior railing change on the island, ARCOM requires a Certificate of Appropriateness before work starts. We handle the submittal packet: elevation drawings, product data sheets, and finish samples. Missing any one of those pushes your permit out 6 to 8 weeks.

Pool & Spa Glass Fencing

Pool and spa glass fencing in Palm Beach runs $200 to $400 per linear foot for frameless laminated impact glass. A block from the ocean, standard tempered glass is the wrong call. Windborne debris during hurricane season will find it. Florida code and Miami-Dade NOA requirements mean laminated impact-rated glazing is non-negotiable for pool barriers on the island. We also set the stainless spigot hardware on concrete curbs that were poured in the 1930s and 1940s, which means drilling into old concrete and anchoring to code, not just bolting onto whatever’s there.

Frameless Glass Rail

Frameless glass rail is the system most Palm Beach homeowners ask about first. It preserves the view, whether that view is the Atlantic, the Intracoastal, or a courtyard garden. Pricing falls between $220 and $480 per linear foot, with the higher end covering custom glass tints, bronze-toned caps, and narrower sightlines that ARCOM requires on landmarked properties. Frameless doesn’t mean flimsy. We specify 1/2-inch laminated impact-rated glass and marine-grade hardware on every exterior install. Anything less corrodes or shatters on this barrier island.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach

TruePane is an authorized installer for more than a dozen manufacturer lines, including PGT, CGI, and CWS. That means we can quote competing systems side by side on paper, so you see exactly what each one costs and what warranty it carries. For Palm Beach homes, PGT’s laminated impact glass is a common choice for frameless railings, and CGI’s marine-grade aluminum hardware holds up well in salt air. We don’t push a single brand. We show you the numbers and let you decide. If a manufacturer rejects a warranty claim, we don’t disappear. The Keystone Standard means both warranty layers are registered in writing, with durations stated, before we leave the job.

Common Glass Railing Systems Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes

• Corroded hardware on exterior railings. Salt-laden Atlantic air pits stainless steel railing hardware within 18 to 24 months, leaving surface corrosion that weakens standoff clamps and lets glass panels rattle against the jamb. We replace cheap 304 alloy with 316 marine-grade stainless whenever we open a railing on the island.
• Fogged or failed glass panels. If the insulated glass unit’s seal fails, fog between the panes means the argon fill is gone and the glass loses most of its insulating value. On a pool fence or deck rail, that’s a clarity and safety issue we address by replacing the panel, not by caulking over a dead seal.
• ARCOM submittal delays. Missing elevation drawings or finish samples stop work before we open a single wall. Unapproved railing changes on a contributing or landmarked Palm Beach property get torn out at your expense. We file the packet correctly the first time.
• Open-wall surprises. On older Palm Beach estates, the real surprise is usually behind the railing. Water intrusion from failed flashing has rotted the jamb or framing. We write an allowance into every contract for exactly this, and nothing gets repaired without your written approval.

We Also Serve Cities Near Palm Beach

TruePane’s crews serve Palm Beach homeowners, and we also cover Palm Beach and the surrounding island and mainland communities. That includes West Palm Beach, North Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, and Royal Palm Beach. If you’re across the Intracoastal, the ARCOM process doesn’t apply the same way, but the salt air and impact-code requirements do, and we bring the same materials and the same standard to every job. Scheduling is coordinated from our Miami office, and we dispatch crews into Palm Beach daily.

On a 1930s Mediterranean Revival estate off South Ocean Boulevard, our crew pulled permits that triggered an ARCOM review the moment we touched the second-floor terrace railing. The existing wrought iron was corroded from decades of salt air, and the concrete curb showed hairline cracks. We proposed a frameless exterior deck railing with stainless standoff clamps and 1/2-inch laminated impact-rated glass, but ARCOM required a bronze-toned cap and narrower sightlines. We had elevation drawings and metal finish samples on file, so the board approved in one cycle. The surprise was the rotted jamb behind the terrace door. Once we opened the wall we found the original 1927 flashing tape had disintegrated. Our contract allowance covered the repair, and we documented every change before proceeding. That’s how we work on Palm Beach’s older homes.
