INSTALLING STAIR RAILING WITH GLASS INFILL
FOR CLASSIC COMPOSITE SERIES AND RESERVE RAIL
3
Consult your local building codes for guard and handrail requirements.
TRIM RAILS
• First trim both Top and
Bottom Support Rails to
dimensions from Step 2.
TEST FIT for accuracy.
• Transfer measurement
from Bottom and Top
Support Rails to Bottom
and Top Rails.
• Trim all Rails to measured
lengths at appropriate
angle.

Stair Angle
• Determine
measurements and
angle as shown.
• Trim both the Top
Support Rail and the
Bottom Support Rail to
those dimensions.
• Test fit rails to check
for accuracy.

SLEEVES
• Trim Post Sleeves to
desired length.
• Slide Post Sleeves and
Post Skirt over post (do
not force). Post sleeve
will be slightly larger
than the post.
• Ensure posts are square
and plumb. Shim as
neeed to plumb.
Be sure to cut Post Sleeves such that
finished rail height is at least 36" high
for a 36" rail application and 42" high
for a 42" application.
For all rail installations, post and post
covers must be plumb and aligned with
one another.
For Over-the-Post applications, it is
critical that Posts be of a consistent
height (e.g. the tops of all post sleeves
are level and on plane with each other).
IMPORTANT NOTES:
This entire section of
instructions is for installation
of Classic Composite Series
and Reserve Rail systems.
Installation of the RESERVE
RAIL system is identical to
the Classic Composite Series,
except it uses the RESERVE
BOTTOM RAIL instead of the
Universal Bottom Rail.
