Aluminum IMCO Rails

Aluminum IMCO rails differ from standard aluminum railing, because they are mechanically fastened together and not welded. The railing is fabricated and shipped in 20'-0" (or less) sections with shop attached kick plate, base shoes, brackets, and grabrails. This process produces a fully functional railing that is both structurally sound and economical, while still maintaining the ease of installation of standard welded railing. The primary use for this mechanical-type railing is in the Industrial and Water/Wastewater sectors where functionality is prioritized over high-cost aesthetics. The railing can be constructed in various ways with several mounting and installation configurations, finish options including either an AAMA Class I or II clear anodized coating, and grade 304 (or optional 316) stainless steel fasteners.

Ornamental metals can create an architecturally aesthetic look for any project. The creative possibilities of ornamental metals are virtually endless. They are used to upgrade the look of a structure i.e. entranceway, stairway, lobby, or any other creative space to yield that unique appearance to set your space apart from others.
