Frequently Asked Questions
What do the 20x20 mm and 30x30 mm sizes mean?
They are the profile sections of the U channel base shoe. 20x20 mm is the slimmer profile, 30x30 mm the heavier one. The choice follows the glass thickness and the visual weight you want on the stair - a wider channel gives more clamp and a chunkier line. Tell us your glass spec and we will confirm which profile suits it.
Which glass thickness does this channel hold?
It is designed for tempered glass stair handrails. The channel must be matched to the glass thickness, so send us your panel thickness when ordering. The 20x20 and 30x30 options cover the common frameless stair railing range; the gasket and sealant take up normal tolerance.
Is this channel suitable for a staircase?
Yes - it is a base shoe for frameless tempered glass stair handrails, holding the glass panel along the stair edge. The powder-coated aluminum finish and clean profile keep the frameless look. Use stainless fixings and follow local railing load requirements; we can advise on the fixing layout if you send drawings.
What colors can I order?
Brushed nickel, gun gray, matte black, and satin gold are stock options, with custom colors and OEM services available. These are powder-coated finishes, so order all the channel for a project in one batch to keep the tone uniform across flights.
Can I get custom colors and OEM branding?
Yes - the channel is made to order with custom colors and OEM services. Custom runs start at 500 pcs. For smaller quantities pick from the stock colors above. Lead time is 15-25 days either way.
How is the glass installed into the base shoe?
The tempered glass panel sits in the U channel, is packed with a gasket, and sealed; the channel itself anchors to the stair structure with fixings through the base. This is the standard frameless glass railing method, and it keeps the glass edge hidden while carrying the panel.
