Thank you! I've been looking at the view rail system for a few months now and this has helped me feel comfortable moving forward with getting this very style.
Awesome upgrade to your home. Very detailed instruction!
So awesome man, looks great!
Great video, Excellent detail during the job with very helpful hints. Also cutting rubber trims was a good idea
Looks beautiful! Looks like the extra muscles doubles as a babysitter, too - gotta love grandparents
A true lifesaver in so many different ways :) Thanks so much for watching Di and your continued support.
verynice this railing system . got cover for the end of the rail track. for the glass same level , just use some setting blocks or composite panel to raise it up same level.
Good job .
Very beautiful!
Great job Brent!!! I would never have thought that this job would be a DIY project but the kit company looks like they made it easy to do WITH the proper tools. Keep it up! I really like your channel as I have said in the past.
Truly appreciate the continued support Roger. Yes viewrail really does make this task accomplishable for the DIYer. Love it!
Great project. Love the music at the end.
It's looking awesome
Excellent Work
That is a beautiful modern railing...and such a cutie look over all your good work! 🙋🏻♀️💕🇬🇧jane
Great Brazilian music!!! Congrats
Great work, thank you for the video! I am surely going to try it out..
Love hearing that HI. Thanks so much for watching and glad you enjoyed the video.
Very nice modern look. 👍🏻
Truly appreciate the support and thanks so much for watching Edward.
Beautiful
I love this...I'm buying a new house and I hate sheet rock banisters and this opens up the space beautifully
Another great project!
Thanks so much bud. Always appreciate your support.
Looks awesome! you have my subscription1
So beautiful I absolutely love it!!!!
Love hearing that and thanks so much for your support. Keep up the great work on your channel.
@@BYOTools Thank you!!!! 😊
Nice work and we installed a similar system. Any idea how to add wood or metal trim around the top edges and borders?
the out of level looks good 👍
Love the video and how you make it seem so simple... will motivate many to look... I am doing the same with about 36 LF and wonder about the blocking below that you drill into. This is for a catwalk between two sets of rooms and I have compressed beams that support the home. Wonder if I can drill into those. Do you know?
Again looks beautiful and I appreciate the detailed step by step. Good Job.
Good job,
interesting
1:46 was scared that you don't fall
Thanks for creating so much videos :D
Thanks so much for watching DDD and I truly appreciate the support.
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
Thank you for the great video. I don’t see the glass panels listed for sale on their website. Did you source those elsewhere?
Love the music. 🥰
Check the building code (IBC or IRC). This assembly is not code compliant. NO cap means laminated glass.
Curious to whats the plan for a baby gate when the little one is on the move?
Right on track Brent - remember I told you we were building a house and you were doing all the same projects? We just finished our glass railing just before you did this video.
LoL! We great minds think alike haha. Thanks as always for watching and hope you enjoyed the video. Where did you get your railing from?
@@BYOTools We bought stand-off mounts and had the glass cut. There is no other hardware.
I useally use one suction cup and throw it on my shoulder . I love glass railing systems . Pretty fun and pay well when I install on the million dollar homes in the hills
Lovely,
Wow looks awesome, very modern. Finger prints/hand prints with a baby will be tough though! Lol
LOL! Yep I took that into account Tom but going for style haha. Thanks so much for watching.
Good job
Absolutely beautiful. I wonder how much for the material cost? Thank you.
Elegant! Looks amazing
Love hearing that SC. Thanks so much for watching and your support.
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!
Awesome video. great tips and tricks. Very helpful! Just curious on price point. Average pricing for this product?
ESTA MUY BIEN ESTE SISTEMA '''
Hi, loved the video. Can I use this video for my compilation about amazing ideas for home upgrades? I'll give credits of course.
Great video. Btw, what was final price of this railings?
She already wants to know how you did that project. You are raising that child right!
Love it Martha and yes she is very intrigued with all of dad’s projects, which I couldn’t be happier with. Thanks so much for watching and hope you enjoyed the video.
@@BYOTools My dad put me to work while I was in grade school. Among other things, I learned masonry and residential painting, interior and exterior.
Tempered glass is hard to break for those who are complaining about glass breaking easily.
Sooooooo True NS. I've tested tempered glass with a hammer in the past and 1/2" is insanely strong. Thanks so much for watching and hope you enjoyed the video.
Is harder to break than a metal railing?
@Forbes Kershaw you are right. This is super dangerous as it is. I wouldn't lean on it.
Do you have a link or description of the appropriate type of handrail for this glass? Does it just clamp on?
That's not tempered glass.
Good video.Do you know if that company do delivery to all the states?
Great video. What product is this and where can I get it?
This is gona be a good one!!
Couldn't agree more Stefanus. What do you think now that you watched the video?
@@BYOTools Absolutely love the transformation,just changed up the entire space,flows in wonderfully with the concrete floors u did recently as well!🤠
Can the clamps be installed in after the glass has been sliding in the slot?
I love this safer than the old railing. It was obvious it wasn’t as sturdy and children get heads and other body parts stuck in those gaps. Fingerprints who cares, children do crayon art on walls. Priorities are safety and they are only small for such a short time. Good job Dad.
Sooooo true and thanks so much for the kind words. Exactly my thought, which is why I wanted to install a railing like this. Truly appreciate the support and thanks so much for subscribing.
Now you have to renew the stairs!
Awesome video. I've been watching as I work on almost an identical project. Biggest question is what brand of wrench did you use to tighten the glass grips? Anything I look for is too thick and I'm at a standstill
Just grind one to the thickness you need
Dobro si napravio! 💪 Znaš li možda može li se u Hrvatskoj tako nešto kupiti? Ili bi ti došao da mi to napraviš?
Great Video.
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.
Railing glass sangat bagus sir 👍🤝 indonesia 🇮🇩
hi where we can get material?
Wow this looks great! Seems like the little one loves it too :)
Oooo she does haha! Thanks so much for watching and the kind words Ivo.
Awesome Video on our Base Rail System. We are the Original Desingers of this PATENTED Product. i will be sure to share your video!
Is just me or the two panels on one side are not vertically aligned with each other? Great work tho.
It could be. It could also just be distortion in his camera lens making things that are straight not look straight
They are indeed not aligned. The edges don't line up. Camera lenses are not biased against edges only.
Are you going to share the cost? I think that is very important..lol.
I would agree haha! A system like this will be around $2,500. Thanks so much for watching and hope you enjoyed the video. Keep up the great work on your channel also :)
@@BYOTools I'm thinking about doing our stairs and your video is exactly what I needed to see :-) Thanks for replying!
Brent how long did the project take to complete? BTW I really like to contemporary feel and look of it. NICE!
@@BYOTools i think it's so expensive for me hehe :)
@@BYOTools that's a lot of money for such a small area lol but it does really uplift the space 👍
May I know what is the thickness of glass did you used ? It’s totally beautiful I love it
It's 1/2" template glass.
If you have to measure so accurately in the beginning, why do you still have to do the cutting yourself?
hahaha because he is making
❤❤❤❤
What’s the rough cost on this project that you did?
Good what is the cost of this beautyful railing
whats the point of templates and measurements if you have to cut it down anyway?
How much did that run you
why the middle glass is higher? it bothers my OCD
subsribed
Truly appreciate the support Christino. Welcome to the BYOT Fam :)
On the long side there is a step of 3/16 one glass panel is higher it’s look Mickey Mouse
How do you shim the glass panel up ?
Is this thing a fingerprint magnet?
Glass is dangerous when it breaks, but it looks stunning... I would have chosen acrylic maybe... But nice project
I understand Shijie but this is tempered glass which is much safer then normal glass. Very strong :) Thanks so much for watching.
What is the purpose of measurements if I need to cut it.
Haha. I asked the same questions Robert. Measurements are for the glass specifically. Viewrail said that they let us cut the metal down since there are seemingly in the field adjustments needed quite often. Thanks for watching.
Good work
Seems like you are well trained
Self training can be an amazing thing when you love learning new things. Thanks so much for watching and hope you subscribed Jayesh.
Now you should upgrade the hand rail to match
Nice but won't it be risky with a baby on board... Sharp edges...??
Thanks for looking out Mohan. We already baby proofed it so no sharp edges that she can reach now :). Thanks for watching and hope you subscribed.
I have a similar size of the railing, do you mind disclosing how it costed you? Thanks,
It’s approximately $2,500. Thanks so much for watching Ch.
@@BYOTools I meant how much*** Thanks for the reply! I'm definitely interested in this project!
How much did it cost?
Are the glass panes supposed to be uneven?
Seek the Lord and saviour Jesus Christ before it's too late. John 3:16
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Hell is real and Heaven is also real. You don't want to spend an eternity in Hell torment without God. The only way to escape Hell is to follow Jesus Christ our Lord and saviour.
Wow nice 👌
How much did it cost?
This system is approximately $2,500. Thanks so much for watching.
👍
I can see my stubbing my toes on those sharp corners at least twice a week
Are these repairs in your home or are they jobs you do?
Всё как-бы здорово и красиво, но чувак. Выдави этот страшный прыщ к следующему видео🙈😎
The correct glass for such a project should have been tempered and laminated glass.
Because its in doors and just covering staits can be tempered only hpw ever in the cqse of a fall or an unexpected sudden pısh the glass will turn into “rice” and offer no security .
Agreed, I’ve installed hundreds of these over the years. Just tempered (Per Engineer) always made me cringe. If I made the decision it was always tempered/lami. And the corner is always mitered. Seems the supplier made it easy for the homeowner install though.
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.
Good job,BUT some of those panels are not level along the top,that would drive me crazy going up and down those stairs 🤣
Man that's beautiful but what a pain. Lots of work
Shocked you had to cut through metal, I would expect the company to do that. What's the point of taking measurements? If I wanted to cut metal I could source some scrap metal cheaper myself.
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 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.
Yeah looks great, now try shaking it.
I need this. My daughter keeps climbing the railing. I need glass
By the way new jails also have glass and not the bars anymore
Imagine sank that base inside your floor and to have only the glass stand out )
Hard to do with a retrofit but do-able.
Can you please update the music you use
I just did with my last two videos. take a look and let me know what you think Wally.
Can you make a short version of your videos without an introduction.
Interesting. I do a one min version on TikTok and Instagram. Is that what you are looking for or something in between?
@@BYOTools something like that, more like a 10 minute sped up version. Also I don't have an IG account
Pata pata
Looks like after installation of the glass your miter opened up.
Nice catch Todd. yes it did slightly but luckily the cladding covers it up the opening completely. Hope you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching.
Where you from? Please i need job , i know Arc welding & teg welding. and stair, door, window i can do make... Iam fabricator.. Now my experience 18 years saudi Arabia..I do stainless Steel work & mile steel.
That company is 10x more expensive than CRL Lawerance.
