between posts and used for support and safety.
SLOPE RAIL: The rail section made to attach to stair

EXTRUSION: The process from which quality PVC components are made. A mono extrusion process keeps the titanium dioxide & impact inhibitors running all the way through the entire product. Co-Extruded and Tri-Extruded products only have a very thin layer of vinyl with titanium dioxide on the outside. If the outside layer is scratched through, then these products will discolor. The Royal Rail top rail and the Best Rail Top Rail are mono-extruded, therefore, these products will not yellow or discolor even if they get scratched. |
