All rails and stanchions are made from high strength 6000-series aluminum extrusions that can be cut and assembled on site using pre-engineered components that snap and screw together. DesignRail® Aluminum Railing Systems are easily adaptable to any project: interior or exterior, commercial or residential. Simply choose the style options that are best for your project to custom design your railing. See 5 Basic Installation Steps Posts CHOOSING A RAILING HEIGHT Building codes in your state may require your rails to meet a minimum height. Consult your local building codes when choosing a height for your project. Posts are made from 2-3/8" square tube extrusions in three distinct cross-sectional profiles: Standard, Commercial Base Mount, and Heavy Duty. Each is specially engineered to provide optimal structural strength and design performance for specific usage and load conditions. Our customer service team will determine which posts are required based on the type of project and the railing design options selected. Posts for horizontal railings come pre-cut for 36", 39" and 42" railing heights. These posts also come pre-drilled for cables when using horizontal cable infill. Pre-drilled stair posts are available for Base Mount, Stanchion Mount, and Fascia Mount configurations. These posts come in 3 standard railing heights; actual post height will vary from 44-in. to 60-in. depending on post height and mounting method selected. When using horizontal cable infill, these posts will come pre-drilled in three standard angle ranges: 23-28 degrees, 29-34 degrees, 35-39 degrees. Custom angles available at an extra charge. Custom posts, and stair posts using Fascia Bracket mount, and other special conditions, including ramps, must be cut to height and drilled in the field. Extrusions can be ordered in 10-ft or 20-ft lengths for that purpose. DesignRail® Square Posts Standard, commercial, and heavy duty posts.

However, we can also assist with custom infill such as textured, etched or decaled glass panels, special picket designs, or even wood strips or panels for solid barriers or fences—the Aluminum Railing System adapts. All infill options require a Top Rail and Top Rail Insert. Bottom rails are recommended for 42-in high frames and may be used as an option on 36-in and 39-in frames using horizontal cable infill. These support the railing infill and help reinforce the frame structure. Bottom Rails connect to the posts using Rail Connecting Brackets (RCBs) and Top Rail Inserts snap into the underside of the Top Rails. Each infill type has a specific corresponding Bottom Rail and Top Rail Insert design. Bottom Rails and Top Rail Inserts are available in 10-ft and 20-ft lengths that can be cut to size in the field.
