# Choose a FLIGHT Glass Railing Style

Glass keeps the stair open and lets the architecture stay visible.

If you prefer cable instead, see [Choose a FLIGHT Cable Railing Style](/guides/planning/how-can-i-customize-my-flight-staircase/choose-a-flight-cable-railing-style.md).

### Vedera

Vedera is the most integrated glass option for FLIGHT.

It delivers zero exposed hardware and crystal clear glass. Proprietary hardware anchors the panels into the treads, then tread-matching end slices cover the connection for a continuous wood grain and clean sightline. Pair it with a matching wood cap rail or a metal top cap.

### Stair-compatible glass systems

Use these systems on the stair run. Then pair them with matching or complementary systems on landings and balconies.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://resources.viewrail.com/guides/planning/how-can-i-customize-my-flight-staircase/choose-a-flight-glass-railing-style.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
