Interlinking Rails (Handrails)
Description

The Juralco Interlinking Rail system is a complete solution for top rail compliance on semi-frameless and frameless glass balustrades.  Developed to comply with NZ4233.3.2016 requirements; where an interlinking rail is required for frameless glass barrier, unless the barrier is laminated safety glass with stiff interlayer.

The system includes a choice of round or rectangular interlinking rail styles, especially designed for a slim and sleek finished look, which can be powder coated to match balustrade fixings or joinery. Matching rail joint connectors and end plate fasteners (for structures and posts), are all part of the solution, for easier installation and a stylish top rail solution.
