Cap Rails, (also called Guards or Top Rails) are usually 
required on elevated glass balusters that present a falling 
hazard. Examples include stairs, balconies, and 
elevated walkways.
Exceptions may be found in the ICC-ES Evaluation 
Report ESR-4814 for the ACHIEVE® Frameless Glass 
Railing System located in the Appendices 
of this document.
Cap Rails add stability to segmented glass panels and 
protect the top glass edge from chipping or breaking.
IBC and IRC both require all Cap Rails to be at least 42" 
above the finished floor and span at least three glass 
panels if possible.
