Profiles

What we supply for railing and architectural systems

These systems are families of related profiles that all have to assemble into each other, so they are quoted and produced as a set rather than as individual sections.

01

Posts, newels and base sections

Load-carrying sections that take the fixing into the deck or slab, usually machined for the hardware before they ship.

02

Handrails and top caps

The section people actually touch, so the finish and the edge break matter as much as the profile.

03

Glass channels and infill retainers

U-channels and clip profiles that hold glass or panel infill and have to grip consistently along the run.

04

Pergola rafters, beams and headers

Larger spanning sections for pergolas, awnings, sunrooms and covered structures.

05

Decking, trim and closure profiles

Boards, edge trims, fascias and the closure sections that finish an assembly.

Specification

How these programs usually run

  • Finish is the product. On a railing or a pergola the coating is what the customer sees for twenty years. Finishing is inside the program and matched against an approved sample, not re-matched per shipment.
  • Families, not sections. Posts, rails, channels, caps and trims are quoted and delivered together, so an installation is not held up by one late profile.
  • Arrives ready to install. Cut, drilled, tapped, deburred and kitted to your bill of materials, so the crew is assembling rather than fabricating.
Alloy and temperTo your specification — structural posts and beams are usually specified differently from trim and cover sections
FinishAnodizing or powder coating, with colors, surface effects and gloss levels matched to the system
FabricationCut-to-length, 45 and 90 degree cutting, hardware punching, drilling, tapping, deburring and protective film
AssemblySpecial project assembly where sections ship as sub-assemblies rather than loose parts
PackingBundled, shrink-wrapped or custom-boxed, labeled and barcoded for site handling
InspectionProfiles are checked against program requirements before packing and shipment
Answers

Railing & Architectural Systems, answered

Still not the question you had?

Ask us directly
01

Can you supply a complete railing profile system rather than single sections?

Yes — that is the normal case. Posts, handrails, glass channels, infill retainers, caps and trims are quoted and produced as one family so the sections fit each other and arrive together. Sending the whole system at once also avoids the situation where one late profile holds up an installation.

02

What finishes hold up outdoors on railing and pergola systems?

Both anodizing and powder coating are specified for outdoor architectural work, and the right answer depends on the look you want and the environment. Anodizing gives a metallic surface integrated into the aluminum; powder coating opens a much wider color and gloss range. Finishing is coordinated inside the program and matched against an approved sample so repeat runs stay consistent.

03

Can profiles arrive cut and machined for assembly?

Yes. Cut-to-length, miter cutting, hardware punching, drilling, tapping, deburring, protective film and special project assembly can all be part of the program, with parts labeled, barcoded and kitted to your bill of materials so they arrive ready to install.
