RAILCRAFT Top rails, posts and components are coated with TGIC polyester
powder. Because of our unique process of powder coating, many problems and
issues inherent in liquid finishing are eliminated or minimized, as Powder
Coating does not run, dip or sag and results in significantly lower reject rates.
Powder coating provides a wide range of performance properties, offering
excellent resistance to corrosion, heat impact, abrasion, fading from sunlight
and extreme weather. The result is a uniform, durable, high quality finish that is
also environmentally friendlyRAILCRAFT rails, posts and components are
fabricated with high grade extruded aluminum. Aluminum is 43 times stronger
than wood. Compared to other materials, aluminum resists expansion and
contraction due to extreme cold or heat. Ounce for ounce, aluminum is one of
the strongest and most stable materials that exist for the North American
climate. Since aluminum does not absorb moisture, it will NOT RUST, chip, shrink
or crack.
Posts, rails and components are Engineered For Maximum Strength. Stainless
steel screws are used to fasten the post’s bottom plate. We go one step further,
by embedding the screws in urethane sealant, the penetration in the vinyl is
sealed. RAILCRAFT Posts are 1 5/8" (not 1 1/2"). Our top rails are continuous
(no post interruption) giving you 20-22 feet of clear run before a connecting
sleeve is required.

applications, indoor or outdoors. We offer the greatest span between posts on
