Product 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.

Part of a complete Interlinking Rail system, including gaskets for 12 or 15mm toughened glass, rail connectors, end plates for rail attachment to structures or posts. Swivel and 90 degree connectors are also available for the rectangular rails only.

Range includes:

Specialist gaskets for 12mm and 15mm toughened glass — Makes installation easier, whilst maintaining structural bond to the glass
Rail connectors for quicker and easier jointing on rectangular top rail. Available in three options:
- Fixed 90 degree
- Vertical swivel for staircases or ramps
