A side mount stair railing is also referred to as a fascia mount railing. With regard to stairs, fascia is the wood or metal piece of trim that runs along the exterior of a stairway or along the bottom perimeter of a deck or balcony.
A side mount stair railing can be used in both interior and exterior spaces to create a clear walking surface and add an interesting design element to the stairs, balcony, deck, or walkway. In tight spaces or spaces that need to preserve as much space as possible, side mount stair railing posts are a space-saving alternative to top or core mounted systems.

CUBE™ Glass Railing System
The CUBE™ Glass Railing System features a robust contemporary look. With its monolithic pyramid top caps placed on 2” x 2” square metal posts, it creates the look of continuous clean lines throughout the design. The understated elegance of the laminated glass infill allows for optimal lines of sight, and it’s strengthened with a PVB or SGP interlayer.
The top rail and handrail are available as a stainless steel tube that can be powder coated or feature integrated LED lighting. The handrail and railing can also be Red Oak, Cherry, or Maple, and can feature LED lights, if desired.
The CUBE™ System offers a variety of glass infill options:
Clear Laminated (PVB or SGP)
Ceramic Frit
Colored Laminate (PVB only)
Clear Monolithic

FIN™ Glass Railing System
Like many of our other systems, the FIN™ Glass Railing System can be top-mounted, core-mounted, or side-mounted. Choosing the side-mounted option creates the most walking space possible. Infill choices include glass, perforated metal, and wire mesh, so you can achieve the ideal side mount interior stair railing. A common finishing choice for this system is wood with Red Oak, Cherry, or Maple stains available, but it can also be stainless steel and can be powder coated with nearly any color to match the aesthetic of the space. You can customize this system with integrated LED lighting and a clear, tinted, or frit glass infill.
CUBE™ Multiline Railing System
Like the CUBE™ System with glass infill, the CUBE™ Multiline Railing System boasts a robust contemporary look with square posts topped with monolithic pyramid top caps. The infill for this system is ½” stainless steel typing rods. The rods form a continuous and smooth infill that can run the length of your project with ease. The stainless steel rods are a good choice for a side mount exterior stair railing because of their durability and strength. This system can be powder coated with nearly any color to match the color scheme of the project.
STRUC™ Metal Panel Railing System
The STRUC™ Metal Panel Railing System employs structural sheet metal fabrication design to offer a wide range of CNC laser cut patterns either pre-configured or custom, depending on the application and needs of the space. The metal panels can be aluminum or steel with an anodized or powder coated finish. This system will even allow for customized company logos and images. The stair railing side mount allows the design to take center stage while providing more space and superior safety. It can act alone as a guard, or you can add a handrail for stairways and walkways.
