Hello,
I have a 4m long concrete retaining wall, about 25cm wide. We want to install an all-glass railing as fall protection.
The local metalworker offers this for €3500 - €4000 gross.
Now I have come across kits. With certain providers, you can configure the railing online and it is then sent to you ready cut (mounting rails, mounting materials, and glass panes). According to the assembly videos, it looks as "easy" as I imagine. The mounting rails are basically U-profiles with a screw that goes inside to the middle, which is anchored with dowels in the concrete wall, so from above. Insert rubber, insert pane, insert clamping piece, more rubbers.
I am not worried about the installation itself; together with my father-in-law it will be no problem.
What I am much more wondering is whether these kits are actually any good or rather "junk." If it ultimately is the same material that the local metalworker would install, I would just do it myself. The kits cost €1700 from the provider Huero and €2545 at Geländerladen.de.
Ultimately, I find the providers via Google. Does anyone perhaps know a similar provider from personal experience?
