Because the Clearview® railing system is priced according to the type and quantity of the components required for your project, it is difficult to give a reliable cost 'per-foot' estimate. Just send us a drawing with approximate dimensions and details such as railing height, type of top rail and how the posts will mount [Read More]. We are usually able to generate cost estimates within one to two business days. We can provide a sample packet for your inspection. The cost will depend on which components you request. When you place your order, any samples you have that can be used will be accounted for. In some cases, a refund, less handling charges, will be issued upon return of the samples. Wood can be used as a top rail in lieu of our standard stainless steel options. We will modify the posts to receive a wood cap, provided by others. Although no metal is rustproof, nothing holds up to the elements better than stainless steel, even in marine applications. Stainless steel's chemical composition is such that it reacts with oxygen to create a corrosion-resistant, or 'passive', layer. This layer is very effective at resisting the corrosive tendencies of harsh environments. Periodically washing the railing with a chloride-free car wash/wax will keep contaminants from building up. The Clearview® railing system is designed per the requirements set forth in the 2009 IRC (International Residential Code) and 2009 IBC (International Building Code). However, if your local jurisdiction has adopted its own code or amendments, our engineering department will work with them to make sure that your system is code-compliant. The 2009 IBC and IRC have design requirements for guard and handrail systems depending on the application (residential, commercial, etc.). These requirements are applicable regardless of mounting method. As noted above, all of our systems are designed per these requirements.
Standard heights are 36" and 42". However, we can custom fabricate a system to meet your needs. The cables are 1x19, SS316, 1/8" diameter to minimize stretching and view hindrance. The cables are typically spaced at 3-1/8" o.c. Typically, no. The cables are tensioned at the ends by tightening a nut onto a threaded fitting. This allows for a clean, sleek line. However, we have hardware that will accommodate most anchoring scenarios. [View The Hardware] Depending on factors including rail height and the type of top rail, the posts are typically spaced approximately 4' - 5' on center. Our detailing department will work closely with you to ensure that your stair components are custom fabricated to fit your particular situation. The Clearview® railing system is designed to be assembled and installed by just about anyone. Having some understanding of basic construction techniques and tool usage will be helpful. No, there are no special skills required. Apart from a few common, household tools, we provide everything you need to complete the installation. [See What You Need] Orders are packed in easy-to-handle sized boxes and shipped via FedEx, unless other provisions are requested. Credit card or PayPal payments are preferred.
