This CRL B5S Series Standard Square Aluminum Base Shoe is used as the base channel for glass railing systems. It can be clad in several choices of architectural finishes. The most critical component in a railing system is the proper attachment of the Aluminum Base Shoe to the substrate. CRL has engineered and tested a variety of attachment methods, and has developed an acceptable combination of drilling patterns and fasteners. A printed brochure with Instructions, Installation Hints, Cleaning, and Refinishing techniques is available.
NOTE: 240" (6.1 m) Extrusion Only (without holes) cannot be used for the Dry Glaze System unless the Aluminum Base Shoe is fabricated to the above tested and approved hole and counter bore pattern. The Dry Glaze System requires that the attachment holes be counter bored so that no part of the fastener protrudes above the base of the channel opening.SHIPPING NOTE: Due to the difficulty in packaging and handling 240" (6.1 m) stock lengths, it is suggested that you Will Call these at any of our distribution centers. If requiring shipment, all packaging and handling concerns must be agreed to by CRL and the customer prior to shipping. All shipping arrangements will be documented on your quotation for your signed approval.
Brass Finish Advisory:
Although durable, brass is prone to oxidation. It can give brass and brass finishes a tarnished look, regardless of how the hardware is initially packaged or stored. For more information, view the Brass Finish Disclaimer found in the Technical References section below.
