The Interna-Rail® KLEAR by Hollaender Manufacturing Company is a glass railing system designed to offer transparency and maximize visibility in various architectural settings. This system eliminates the need for a top cap on the glass, allowing the glass infill to meet the 42-inch height requirement without obstruction. The design secures the glass at the posts, rather than at the top and bottom, which minimizes the number of horizontal rails and enhances the overall clear view. This construction approach also means no drill holes are required in the glass panels, potentially reducing installation costs compared to other railing systems on the market. Interna-Rail® KLEAR posts are engineered to accommodate a grab rail or handrail positioned at 36 inches above the walking surface, suitable for level areas, ramps, and stair railings. The system is certified to meet IBC and ADA codes, including U.S. International Building Code standards for guardrails, handrails, and infill panel materials from 2009 to 2018. It adheres to specific loading requirements for structural performance, such as a uniform load of 50 lb/ft and a concentrated load of 200 lb/lf for top rails of guards, and a horizontal concentrated load of 50 lbf for infill areas, applied to 1 sq. ft. without acting concurrently with top rail loads. Glass infill panels, typically 3/8-inch or 7/16-inch laminated tempered glass meeting ASTM C1048 standards, require a safety factor of 4 and allow a maximum spacing of 4 feet between posts. Alternatively, 3/8-inch thick resin panels from Lumicor or other approved vendors can be used. The materials used in the Interna-Rail® KLEAR system include clear anodized aluminum for posts, rails, and fittings. The posts are made from Aluminum 6005-T5, 1 ½-inch IPS Schedule 80 Wall, while the rails use Aluminum 6063-T6, 1 ½-inch IPS Schedule 40 Wall. Fittings are crafted from Aluminum 6063-T6, base flanges from cast aluminum, and fasteners from stainless steel 304 alloy. The clear anodized aluminum construction contributes to a cost-effective solution, being 25-50% less expensive per linear foot than stainless steel options. The system is available in a variety of finishes, including clear and bronze anodized options, as well as powder-coated colors, textures, and patterns. This railing system is versatile and suitable for a wide range of applications, including multifamily residential buildings, industrial facilities, hospitality venues, educational institutions, commercial properties, and other institutional settings. Its characteristics emphasize transparency, maximum visibility, and structural integrity. The product comes with several downloadable files, including a product brochure, data sheets for glass railing and rail clips/brackets, and detailed drawings for various mounting configurations, such as top mount with internal flange, top mount with Speed-Rail® flange, and side mount. BIM objects are also available for seamless integration into architectural designs, supporting formats like RVT. #ArchitecturalRailing #GlassRailingSystem #AluminumRailing #BuildingCodes #StructuralIntegrity #Visibility #InteriorDesign #CommercialDesign #ResidentialArchitecture

The Interna-Rail® VUE railing system, manufactured by Hollaender Manufacturing Company, offers an architectural solution for hand and guard railing needs, specifically designed for glass and acrylic infill panels. This system features a post-mounted design where glass panels are secured at the posts rather than within top and bottom rails, which maximizes transparency and visibility, making it suitable for commercial projects, as well as multifamily residential, industrial, hospitality, and educational applications. The railing is available at a height of 42 inches from the walking surface to the top rail. Constructed primarily from anodized aluminum, the Interna-Rail® VUE system provides a cost-effective alternative to stainless steel glass railing systems, reducing the overall cost per linear foot. Further cost efficiencies are achieved because the design eliminates the need for holes in the glass panels, as they are supported at the base, and utilizes 3/8-inch thick glass instead of the more expensive 1/2-inch glass typically required for shoe-mounted structural glass systems while still meeting code requirements. The infill panels can be either tempered glass, available in monolithic or laminated forms, or 3/8-inch thick acrylic panels from approved vendors like Lumicor. The system's structural performance adheres to rigorous building codes. Handrails are designed to withstand a uniform load of 50 lbf/ft and a concentrated load of 200 lbf in any direction. Top rails of guards also meet a 50 lbf/ft uniform load and a 200 lbf concentrated load. The infill areas of guards can handle a horizontal concentrated load of 50 lbf applied to a 1 sq. ft. area at any point. These load requirements are not assumed to act concurrently. The tempered glass used in the system complies with ASTM C1048, is fully tempered, and meets conditions for transparent flat glass with Q3 quality, having been tested for surface and edge compression and impact strength according to 16 CFR 1201 for Category 2 materials. The maximum spacing between posts for 3/8-inch glass infill panels is 4 feet. Materials used in the Interna-Rail® VUE system include aluminum 6005-T5 for posts (1 1/2-inch IPS, 48.2 mm O.D. Schedule 80 Wall) and aluminum 6063-T6 for rails (1 1/2-inch IPS, 48.2 mm O.D. Schedule 40 Wall), both typically clear anodized. Fittings are made from clear anodized aluminum 6063-T6, base flanges from cast aluminum, and fasteners from 304 alloy stainless steel. The system offers a variety of finishes, including clear and bronze anodization for aluminum components, as well as powder-coating in various colors. The Interna-Rail® VUE is certified to meet IBC and ADA codes, specifically adhering to U.S. International Building Code standards from 2009 through 2018 for guardrails, handrails, and infill panel materials like glass. #RailingSystem #AluminumRailing #GlassInfill #ArchitecturalRailing #CommercialProjects #BuildingCodes #CostEffectiveDesign #ConstructionMaterials #Hollaender
