Easy installation
3 attractive styles
5 colors
No more painting
Quality and craftsmanship
20 Year Warranty

Features

All Regal railings are constructed of an exclusive High-Strength Aluminum Alloy that will never rust or corrode, even in areas where moisture is a problem. Regal products contain up to 25 percent more aluminum than other systems. All aluminum components are powder coated and finished with durable polyurethane via the durable RAILCOAT™ application. This exclusive powder coated finish is the premier coating available in the market today. When applied to these railings. RAILCOAT™ is twice the thickness and hardness of the typical baked enamel finish. Consequently, it is more durable, fade-resistant and scratch-resistant than other coatings. It is available in five colors - white, black, beige, yard bronze and taupe (the last two are available in texture finish).

All components are covered by Regal's limited 20-year warranty and guaranteed not to crack, chip or peel.

This system is also designed to accommodate four attractive styles: Straight Picket, Basket Picket, Wide Picket, or Clear Tempered Glass Panels.

Specifications

Our engineering testing supports maximum spans of 8’ with pickets and 6’ with glass. Spans beyond this will need a middle post to comply with the engineering testing.

The railing is designed to be 42” high off of the deck surface. The post is slightly taller than this to support the railing.

The pickets for the 42” rail are designed to be fit between the top and bottom rail. The actual picket height is approximately 36 5/8”. The stair pickets are approximately 29 3/4” to accommodate the shorter requirements for stair applications.

The clear tempered glass panels come in standard size sheets (24 inch to 66 inch widths) and each is designed to be fit between the top and bottom rail. The actual size of the glass is 35 7/8” high by 1/4” thick. Glass widths are inventoried from 6” to 66” in 3” increments. The glass has been wind load tested to 150 mph.

The complete gate is designed to fill a 48” opening. The gate itself is 44”. It comes with hinges and a spring latch which each take up 2”. Screws are ordered by the box and come separately.
