The
CRL B5L Series Custom Low Profile Square Aluminum Base Shoe is a low profile aluminum base shoe engineered as the base channel for wet-glaze glass railing systems. Designed for easy attachment to substrate, the extrusion accepts several architectural cladding finishes (recommended: cladding over base shoe rather than direct powder coating). CRL provides tested drilling patterns and fastener combinations to ensure secure installation of glass railing and windscreen systems.
GLASS SPECIFICATIONS:
1/2" (12 mm) to 5/8" (16 mm) thick tempered glass when using the Wet Glaze System.
Note: Low Profile Square Base Shoe is not compatible with the TAPER-LOC® or wedge dry-glaze systems.
SHIPPING NOTE:
20' (6.1 m) stock lengths are difficult to package and handle; Will Call pickup at a CRL distribution center is suggested. If shipment is required, packaging and handling must be agreed upon with CRL before shipping and will be documented on your quotation.
Product Warning:
For use only with 1/2" or 5/8" (12 or 16 mm) glass in Wet Glaze systems. Do not use with Wedge Dry Glaze systems. CRL recommends applying powder-coated cladding over the base shoe rather than direct powder coating of the extrusion.
All pre-drilled CRL base shoes have a hole-spacing tolerance of +1/8" (3 mm) / -1/16" (1.5 mm). Before drilling substrate installation holes, place the base shoe in final position and mark hole locations on the substrate.
