OBEX™ Pre-Engineered Glass Guardrails and Metal Handrails are based the best of hundreds of G+MC designs and installations within venues and enhancing surrounding exteriors.

All feature minimalistic stainless support hardware – custom designed and manufactured by our internal Cuda Metals™ Division – providing a crisp, modern appearance. Handrails on OBEX Guardrails can also be delivered in a variety of natural woods.

The glass and support structures for OBEX systems are sourced from within the United States and manufactured by G+MC in close proximity, such that our project management teams can be involved with fit and finish from project launch. Our management teams are also on-call to provide critical field measurements as part of our Design Assist services.

G+MC Pre-Engineered Systems are both scalable and modular to adapt to a wide area of conditions, and can be customized to fit even more demanding applications.

All OBEX systems come with the protection of Diamon-Fusion coatings.

As an option, G+MC OBEX Pre-Engineered Glass Guardrails can be delivered Buy America compliant.
