CRL Premium Cap Rails (SKU: GR25BS14) are manufactured using a precision bump-forming process that delivers tighter tolerances, consistent radius, and superior fit compared with roll-formed cap rails. Welds on both sides of the internal channel increase strength and stability, preventing twist or discoloration at welded corners. These features make CRL's bump-formed cap rails ideal for architectural glass railings, handrails, and commercial railing systems that require durable, precise components.

All CRL Premium Cap Rail sections are formed with precision tooling to maintain uniform diameters for smooth hairline transitions at splices, corners, and end caps. The welded internal channel improves structural integrity for fabrication. Use Cat. No. 32629 Metal Contact Cement to achieve a secure, permanent bond at all connections. Connector sleeves are required to join cap rails. Sold in 120" (3.05 m) lengths; 168" (4.27 m) lengths and custom cuts are available.

Glass installation notes: When used with 1/2" (12 mm) glass, use Cat. No. GR5PV cap rail vinyl plus 95CBL silicone. For 5/8" (16 mm) glass, secure with 95CBL silicone and shims. For 3/4" (19 mm) glass, use 95CBL silicone and appropriate shims. Contact CRL Technical Sales for guidance or a quote.

Use of our 32629 Metal Contact Cement is required to achieve a secure and permanent bond at all connections. Use the Connector Sleeves to connect cap rails. For shims, see shims.

Most CRL Premium Cap Rails are stainless alloy 304; stainless alloy 316 is available by special order. Please contact CRL Technical Sales for stainless options, custom fabrication, or a quote.
