Reduce Installation Time by 50%

Taper-Loc® is an innovative dry-glaze glass railing installation system that can reduce installation time by 50% compared to standard installation methods. Dry glazing means there’s no need for messy cement, which leads to a cleaner, high-end aesthetic.

Taper-Loc® simplifies and expedites glass railing installation on sloped surfaces such as ramps and stairways. The taper sets are made of reinforced polymer for lasting durability and performance. The available Taper-Loc® XA and XAL systems allow up to 3/4” (19 mm) of lateral glass angle adjustment for precise glass panel alignment, particularly on uneven surfaces. This significantly improves sightlines on glass railing systems without cap rails or handrails.
