Railing Systems Compared
Prince Railing manufactures seven stainless steel railing systems — continuous, bracket, bracket-with-cover, side-mount, concealed, SS spigot and top handrails. This guide compares them by look, glass support, fixing method and best use so you can pick the right one for your balcony, staircase, terrace or project.
| System | Best for | Glass support | Fixing | Choose when |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Continuous System | Seamless, premium modern look for tall glass | 12–25 mm, up to ~4 ft | Continuous base channel along the floor | Balconies, terraces & straight runs where looks matter |
| Bracket With Continuous Cover System | Bracket strength with a hidden, seamless finish | 12 mm and above | Point brackets covered by a continuous profile | You want strength plus a clean, cover-hidden look |
| Side Mount System | Frees up floor width by fixing to the edge | 12 mm and above | Fascia / side of the slab or stringer | Staircases and mezzanine edges |
| Concealed System | Most minimal — nothing visible above the floor | 12 mm and above | Recessed into the floor | Lobbies, feature staircases, premium interiors |
| Bracket System | Economical and easy to service | 12 mm and above | Individual point brackets at intervals | Budget-conscious projects, easy maintenance |
| Top Handrails | Grip and a finished cap for the balustrade | Tops any glass system | Mounts on top of the glass/posts | Every system — for safety, grip & code |
| SS Spigots | Frameless look with minimal hardware | 12 mm and above | Stainless/alu-core spigots set in or on the floor | Frameless balustrades, decks & pool fencing |

Railing Systems FAQs
It depends on the goal: continuous for a seamless premium look and tall glass, bracket for economy and easy servicing, side-mount to save floor width, concealed for a hidden fixing, and spigots for frameless or pool applications. A top handrail can finish any of them.
A continuous system uses a base channel that runs the whole floor line for a seamless look and even load; a bracket system uses individual point brackets, which is more economical and easy to service. See our continuous vs bracket guide.
SS spigots give the most frameless look with minimal hardware and are the standard choice for decks and pool fencing.
