The Glass Railing Square Fascia Mount Post with Square Glass Clamps is part of Inline Design’s Chicago Square Style Glass Railing System. This version is designed for side-mounted glass railing installations where the post attaches to the fascia or side face of the structure instead of mounting on top of the walking surface.
Built from a 1.57" x 1.57" / 40 x 40 mm square stainless steel profile with a 12 gauge / 0.102" / 2.6 mm wall thickness, this post is a heavy-duty option for modern glass railing systems that need clean square lines, strong post construction, and square glass clamps.
Use it for balconies, decks, porches, patios, stairs, landings, terraces, indoor railings, outdoor railings, wet or dry locations, residential projects, and commercial projects when installed according to local code, approved mounting conditions, glass requirements, and project-specific engineering.
Glass panels are purchased separately. This post system is designed for use with compatible tempered or laminated glass panels. Verify glass thickness, panel height, panel width, local code requirements, and project-specific engineering before ordering glass.

Important Installation Notes
- Glass panels are not included. Glass must be provided by a local vendor.
- Fascia mounting anchors are not included. Due to the variety of mounting surfaces, customers must supply the appropriate connecting hardware, including screws, bolts, anchor bolts, or other project-specific fasteners. For substrate-specific fastener guidance and recommended approaches, see Anchoring Options for Railing Posts.
- Anchor selection must be based on the mounting surface, including fascia framing, concrete, steel, wood blocking, or other approved structural substrates.
- Stair posts and other custom posts require an additional fee to account for custom post fabrication and CAD drawings specific to the customer field measurements when necessary.
- Custom fabrication requires a minimum of 1–2 weeks for production.
- Guardrail height, glass type, post spacing, fascia plate location, anchoring, and other structural requirements must be verified against local code and project-specific engineering.
- For coastal or high-corrosion environments, stainless steel must be cleaned and maintained regularly.
Required Safety Pins and Glass Notches for Fascia-Mounted Posts
Safety pins are required for fascia-mounted and side-mounted glass railing applications.
Using the safety pins requires matching notches in the glass. Inline Design recommends two notches at the bottom of each panel, positioned for the two lower safety pins.
The downloadable drawing applies to 3/8-inch, 1/2-inch, and 9/16-inch glass. Provide it to the glass fabricator before the panel is ordered or cut, and confirm the clamp orientation and project requirements before fabrication.
