Durarail Powder-Coated Aluminum Railings

Attention to Details from Start to Finish

• Aluminum Strength
• Engineered to Last
• Durable Powder Coating

Aluminum Strength

Consider aluminum¹s many uses in today¹s world. For decades aluminum has provided dependable service in windows and siding in the building industry. Its strength and non-corrosive qualities also make it the perfect choice for vehicle chassis, engine blocks and the most demanding of all – the aeronautics industry.

This Durarail aluminum rail system will still be performing long after many of the other building materials have been replaced. Durarail¹s framework uses the 6063-T5 alloy and the posts are made of the even stronger 6005A-T61 alloy. With the .070-inch wall thicknesses of the extrusions being the heaviest in the industry, it makes for an extremely strong system.

Engineered to Last

Durarail is engineered tough! The strength of a rail or fence system is in the posts and the framework. The stronger the structure, the wider the spans between the posts. This provides for better visual appearance and view.

The heavy wall thicknesses of the aluminum and the intricately designed extrusion combined with the fastening system gives Durarail the exceptional spans it has achieved. They are among the widest (if not the widest) in the industry.

Picket Rail System
• Maximum span: 10 feet.

Tempered Glass System
• Maximum span: 5 feet.

Durarail Meets or Exceeds:

• BOCA National Building Code (1999) – Concentrated load of 200 lbs. along top rail

• Uniform building Code (1997) – Minimum lateral load of 50 lbs. per foot

Durable Powder Coating

The powder coating system used as the finish for Durarail is the most popular industrial coating in the world today.

Durarail Powder-Coating Process
The coating process involves the aluminum material being dipped into a chemical pre-treatment to prepare the surface.	Completely dry and contaminant-free, the rail sections receive an electrical charge (negative) and are rolled past the powder applicator nozzles. The powder receives a positive electrical charge and literally "wraps" itself onto every bit of the exposed metal. This is an environmentally friendly system as no solvents are used and almost all overspray is collected for reuse.	The powder coated components are then baked in a 400° F oven for superior adhesion and a consistent coating thickness (approx. 4 to 5 mils) The polyester material (TGIC) is UV resistant, will not peel, flake or blister. As it ages, it can be buffed back to like-new condition with a cut polish.

Customized by Design

Durarail Rail and Fence Systems are available in eight standard colors: Black, White, Beige, Sandalwood, Rideau Brown, Evergreen, Grey and Oyster Grey.

Any one of 180 custom colors can be produced to match any exterior design features.
