Prior to the Ultra-tec® System, marine and industrial hardware was all that was available. Many of these products have sharp edges, uneven hand-crimped shanks, exposed nuts and other unattractive features.
Now, with Ultra-tec® tensioners and mounting hardware, you have precision-machined, sleek stainless steel fittings that are attractive and easy to install. They are suitable for metal-framed railings and wood. Some can even be concealed inside the end-posts, so there is nothing to interfere with the view through the railing. With our swageless fittings, the hardware can be installed by hand, without the need for any special equipment.
The Ultra-tec® “Design and Fabrication Guide for Metal Framed Railings” assists design professionals and steel fabricators in designing an attractive cable railing using off-the-shelf materials.
Downloadable drawings are available for the designer to use as they are, or they can be adjusted to his/her own design.
Engineering Data is Available for hardware loads, cable spacing to meet code requirements, thermal effects and some railing frames.
Downloadable drawings are available for the designer to use as they are, or they can be adjusted to his/her own design.
Our publication “Designing a Wood Railing With Cable as an In-fill” is very helpful to homeowners, contractors and architects who are designing a wood framed railing using cable.
Topics include construction and location of posts, cable choices, spacing of cables on your end posts, how to configure corners and tips on selecting the right hardware for the project.
