Material: Railing components are 6005A-T65 aluminum which is about 30% stronger than typical 6063-T5 alloys.

Finish: Durable high-density polyester powder-coat finish. Meets AAMA 2604 standards.

UV Stable Powder Coat. No before and after color changes found with most composite railing products. Most composite railing products fade more in 3 months than FSI's AAMA 2604 powder coat in 5 years.

Height: Standard heights are 36" and 42". Alternate heights available by request.

Construction: Available in a framed version and non-framed version. FSI was one of the first to fully frame a glass panel in a railing system.

Fasteners: Stainless steel fasteners are used throughout the railing assembly.

Code Compliance: Picket Railings meet national safety standards and the 2003 ICC International Building Codes. Codes do vary by city and county and is the customers responsibility to ensure the rail system will meet local codes.

Load Testing: Rails are professionally tested by an independent testing laboratory and Professional Engineers to meet international safety requirements. Typical testing requires the railings to pass 200 lb. concentrated loads, 100 lb. per linear ft. and 50 lbs in a 1 square foot area of the infill. Visit the Downloads section of this page for more details. Alternative testing may be available. Contact us for details.
Maintenance: Railings may be washed as needed with water and mild soap. Do not use acidic solutions, harsh solutions or abrasive cleaning materials or solutions as they could harm the finish.
