DesignRail® Express: select options for our Aluminum Railing Frame Systems available to ship 5-7 business days after order confirmation! You get durable, sleek aluminum with innovative design details to ensure lasting beauty, structural integrity, and afford-ability while drastically reducing long term maintenance expenses.
As in our Create Your Own program, 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® Express is suitable for any project: interior or exterior.
Post
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” or 42” level railing heights, and 36” stair railing height. These posts come pre-drilled for horizontal cable infill.
Pre-drilled stair posts are available for Base Mount only - for other mounting conditions see Create Your Own. Stair posts will come pre-drilled in angle range of 29-34 degrees
