Project presentation

Lake Saint-Jean is one of the most impressive bodies of water in Quebec, and the homes lining its shores enjoy spectacular panoramic views of its blue-green waters stretching as far as the eye can see. For a homeowner on Chemin des Bateliers in Dolbeau-Mistassini, preserving this view was an absolute must when choosing a railing for his deck.

Aluminium Distinction’s Pure system, featuring small, clear stainless steel spigots, has established itself as the ideal solution to this requirement. Its tempered glass panels, held in place by small, discreet polished stainless steel spigots, offer near-total transparency, allowing visitors to fully enjoy the panoramic view of Lac Saint-Jean without any visual obstructions.

In Dolbeau-Mistassini, weather conditions are among the harshest in Quebec: intense cold, heavy snow, and sudden thaws. The components of the Pure system—tempered glass, marine-grade stainless steel, and high-strength assembly—are specifically designed to withstand these extremes without ever faltering.

Project features

12 mm Tempered Glass — Nordic Strength

The 12-mm tempered glass used in the Pure system is designed to withstand the extreme thermal shocks common in the northern regions of Quebec. It does not crack during sudden temperature changes and maintains its impeccable clarity year-round.

Small, clear stainless steel spigots — absolute discretion

The small, clear stainless steel spigots blend seamlessly into the terrace structure with the utmost discretion. Their small size allows the glass to take center stage, further enhancing the railing’s sense of transparency and lightness.

A fully preserved view of Lac Saint-Jean

In a region where the view of the water is the main attraction of waterfront properties, a Pure glass railing is clearly superior to any other type of railing. No posts, no bars, and no handrails interrupt the lake’s horizon—the view remains unobstructed from every angle.

Installation certified to building codes

Despite its light, airy appearance, this glass railing fully complies with the structural standards of the Quebec Building Code, which govern horizontal loads and impact resistance for exterior railings.

Results

On Chemin des Bateliers, this Pure small spigot light stainless steel railing has enhanced the riverside terrace, transforming it into a true observation deck overlooking Lac Saint-Jean. The clean, professional installation by Aluminium Distinction delivered a result that exceeded the owner’s expectations, allowing him to now enjoy the panoramic view without any visual obstructions.

For all homeowners along the shores of Lac Saint-Jean and Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean who dream of a railing that matches the beauty of their exceptional natural surroundings, Aluminium Distinction offers tempered glass solutions of unparalleled quality.
