Pro-Railing is a stylish, durable and cost effective stainless steel handrailing component system designed with ease
of installation in mind.
The comprehensive range of components allows you to specify and install without the need for fabrication and
maximises on-site flexibility for those changes that inevitably arise.
The system enables the most stylish of handrailing and balustrades to be constructed quickly and simply by the
contractor. All you have to do is cut, glue or screw to create professional results every time.
Specifiers can be assured that component design and range flexibility means installation by a competent installer is a
straight forward process.
A choice of infill is available and our Aluminium Glass Balustrade solutions now include Wedge-Loc and mini top rail.
Pro-Glass is also available in a variety of standard and non-standard panels.
Tilt-Loc and glass stand- off adaptors have recently been added to the range as has Illumirail, our LED lighting
system for handrails making Pro-Railing a one stop shop for balustrades and handrails.
Available in Type 304 and Type 316 to suit internal and external applications, you can be sure Pro-Railing quality and
product care will provide stunning results.

Using the same clamping and adjusting method as our Posi-Glaze balustrade system to give a quick and easy
installation, Spig-Lite Pro can be bolted directly into the substrate without the need for a channel, ensuring clean lines
and greater glass visibility. Our channel free system allows a 32mm gap between the substrate and glass allowing free
dispersal of water.
With only two spigots required per metre of glass and only a single bolt per spigot, this system is one of the fastest
to install currently available on the market. Our trapezoidal adjustment device ensures each panel of glass can be
horizontally adjusted once in position, guaranteeing alignment and efficient installation.
FEATURES:
ONLY 2 SPIGOTS & FIXINGS REQUIRED PER METRE
Extremely quick to install & elongated holes to allow for easy alignment
NO NEED TO DRILL THE GLASS
Our glass clamping mechanism removes the need for locking pins to hold the glass
NO DRAINAGE ISSUES

Heavy-duty and fully adjustable 3kN frameless balustrade system provides public safety and durability in large
commercial installations. Mega-Grip has been produced specifically for public spaces with high volumes of people traffic.
Our latest patented design uses a 13mm hexagonal bolt, making it incredibly easy to adjust and fix the glass with a 1/4
inch torque wrench and extension arm. This also means it is possible to install the glass from one side.
Mega-Grip works with many glass thicknesses by simply by changing the internal clamps.

Consult with local building authorities and structural engineers to ensure correct glass specifications and fixings are
used to achieve the required loadings. Where possible we have tested our systems and individual test reports are
available online.
TEMPLATING SHEETS
We can provide suitable templating material that can be cut to suit any
special shapes on site. This is sent to our processors for production to
match the template exactly, using modern imaging scanning technology
to duplicate your design. Price and availability for bespoke panels are
available on application.
Illumirail is a stylish and practical lighting application for incorporating into handrailing installations. With the option of
RGB, coloured and bright white LEDs, it doesnt just aesthetically provide the finishing touch to any handrail project, it
also offers a solution to safety and security issues surrounding dark stairwells and walkways. Illumirail can be fitted in
wall mounted or post mounted handrailing.
THERE ARE 2 CHOICES FOR ILLUMINATING YOUR HANDRAIL:
Bar System - fitted into our standard split tube handrail
Pod System - can be fitted in any round 42.4 - 48.3mm handrail system. Ideal retrofit solution.
Illumirail is ideal for specification in a wide range of applications including residential, restaurants, offices, night clubs,
leisure and retail. In fact anywhere that requires illumination, inside or out, with Stainless Steel Type 316 as standard.
Both systems are waterproof and fully rated to IP67. They can be used with PIR movement sensors, daylight sensors
(dusk to dawn) and the solid colours can also be linked into emergency lighting back-up systems.
Illumirail uses 24V DC for LED bar and 12V DC for POD, LED bar requires 100W and POD required 70W
transformers connected to 230V AC 50Hz mains supply.
With thousands of colours to choose from, its easy to create the right mood or ambience in any environment.
The ColourTouch 4.3 controller is at the heart of the RGB bar system enabling it to change colour, flash, pulse, dim
and fade on and off. The ColourTouch controller can be sited in any location up to 50m from the installation and
requires a 24V DC supply. Where this is outdoor, the unit must be contained within a waterproof enclosure.
Both our Bar and POD systems can be used with a variety of infill options such as glass, wire rope or our 7 bar systems.

ILLUMIRAIL
RGB - COLOURTOUCH INSTALLATIONS
The ColourTouch 4.3 controller allows for the selection of discrete colours or produces patterns of colour changing
effects at various user defined rates.
A local DC power supply is required and is supplied to suit a standard UK electrical double back box.
The ColourTouch controller can be sited in any location up to 50m from the installation and requires a 24V DC supply.
When sited outdoors, the unit must be contained within a waterproof enclosure.
PIRs can be added to the system in a bus configuration. The PIR provides an on/off and daylight sensor function.
Colour changing is achieved using in-line PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) devices at the transformer location,
connected to a bus using the same cable and connectors as the PIR bus.
PIR ENCLOSURE
The PIR assembly also includes the daylight sensor on the front face of an IP67 ABS enclosure. In the enclosure is an
engineer adjustment trim pot, which will be factory set and should not require on site alteration except in areas which
are particularly shaded or bright.
The motion detection function can be provided by one, or many, PIRs. Requires 12V DC, plug top adaptor provided.
Any PIR, once activated, will activate all LEDs and PODs in a system. The switching function is not performed within
the PIR enclosure, but by an in-line relay at the transformer location.
A bus connection is made between all PIR enclosures and in-line relays. The bus uses three pin waterproof
connectors and the bus cable is shielded as a twisted pair.
ALL PIRS USE 12V DC AND THIS CAN BE SUPPLIED IN TWO WAYS
DEPENDING ON THE INSTALLATION:
The PIR can have a waterproof power supply for connection to the mains
within an enclosure. This requires a mains connection outside

GUIDELINES FOR THE USE OF GLASS
IN PROTECTIVE BARRIERS
F.H.Brundle has found the following extracts from leading authorities in the field of glass, which you may find
useful for UK projects. We cannot be held liable for the compliance of our components to local or national building
regulations. In some instances we have tested our handrail systems to certain criteria. These reports can be found
online. Regulations are always changing and it is highly recommended that you consult with local structural engineers,
building inspectors and local regulations in the country of the installation. It remains the responsibility of the customer
to ensure the current regulations are met.
