Customize Your Railing - DesignRail® Cap Rails



Cap rails come in 5 styles and are sold in 10 and 20 foot lengths that can be trimmed to size in the field. Series 100 Graspable Cap Rails are used exclusively on stairs and are attached to the faces of the stair posts using Rail Connecting Blocks (RCBs). Series 200, 300, 350 & 400 Cap Rails rest on the tops of the posts and are secured with stainless steel screws. An Applied Grab Rail (see Additional Items) may be required to meet code for stair railings: check with your local building department.
