Sometimes in order to acheave an awesome frameless look ,yet follow strictly BC code for the guardrails installation- we need to use more than one type of installation.
In this case -we did not have proper backing on the landing parts ( including the landing parts right after the floating staircase) and we needed to use base use installation on this places. The customer still preffered to see the staircase itself with side mount glass ( stand off installation ) .
On this picture you see work in progress- our glass is waiting an awesome wooden handrail to cap it !
