6mm tempered glass in an aluminum frame. The frame shares the load so the glass can be thinner — and the price stays in reach. The sweet spot when you want a view but not the frameless price tag.

The aluminum frame around each glass panel does two things: it shares the structural load with the glass (so you can use 6mm tempered instead of 12mm) and it gives you a finished edge that doesn't need polished or beveled treatment. Same view, lower price, simpler install.
Framed has a visible aluminum frame around each glass panel — about a 1.5" border. Frameless has nothing visible above the floor (spigots are tiny, base shoe is below the deck surface). If unobstructed view is the goal, frameless. If you want a view but the frame doesn't bother you, framed saves you $60-140/ft.
Tempered glass is engineered to shatter safely (small cubes, not shards) under heavy impact. A baseball won't break it; a swung hammer might. If a panel ever breaks, we replace it under the 10-year defect warranty — and most homeowner insurance covers accidental breakage too.
Yes — gray or bronze tint, +$15–35/ft over clear. Useful for west-facing decks where late-afternoon glare is brutal, or for privacy from a neighbor whose deck is closer than ideal. Tint is the same tempered glass, just with a colored interlayer.
Yes — but the gate hardware needs to meet pool-code separately (self-closing, self-latching, no climbable horizontal members within 1.1m of the bottom). Our pool-fence service spec covers this; if you want glass instead of aluminum picket, we use framed-glass panels with a pool-code-compliant aluminum gate.
Service, footage, optional tint — instant price band on the page.
