The Fast Balcony Top Rail and Bottom Rail Profile Set supplies the horizontal rail members of the guard program: miter-cut top rails and matching bottom rails, sized to the guard run. It serves guard rebuilds, infill changes, and site-built runs that need to match the prefabricated balcony line.

The top rail is AL 2.5 x 2.5 x 1/8 in square aluminum with miter-cut corners, paired with an AL 2 x 2 x 1/8 in bottom rail, both powder coated in the four-color program. Sets are sized to guard runs of 16, 18, and 20 ft, which cover the standard platform grid from 4 ft x 8 ft through 5 ft x 10 ft, and cut-to-project runs are quoted from the run drawing. Rails join the stanchions and posts of the matching guard program with bolt-on splice hardware, no field welding, and the miter-cut corners land the wrap-around guard geometry cleanly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which run length fits my balcony?
The 16 ft set fits the 4 ft x 8 ft platform guard run, 18 ft fits 5 ft x 8 ft, and 20 ft fits 5 ft x 10 ft; the 9 ft 6 in platforms fall between and are cut from the next set up. Send the run drawing for cut-to-project sets, confirmed during quote review.

Do these rails fit the stanchion kit?
Yes. The rail profiles are dimensioned to the 2.5 x 2.5 in stanchion program used across the balcony platforms and railing systems, and the splice hardware ships in the set.

Can I order top rail only?
The set ships as top and bottom rail together because the guard geometry uses both. Odd-lot and top-only replacements are handled as a quote line item.
