Will salt water affect my railing?
SĀFTRON polymer rails are the best choice for use with salt chlorinators and salt environments. SĀFTRON rails are unaffected by long-term salt exposure.
Will the sun affect my railing?
SĀFTRON polymer rails are made with specially formulated compounds that include UV inhibitors designed to resist ultra-violent light. SĀFTRON rails have been installed in some of the harshest environments when come to the sun for over 25 years and counting.
Will my railing get hot in the sun?
SĀFTRON thermoplastic rails stay cool to the touch, even on the hottest days.
Does my railing need to be grounded/bonded?
SĀFTRON polymer rails are non-conductive. When used with SĀFTRON anchor sockets and bases, or installed directly into the deck, no grounding/bonding is required. SĀFTRON has been tested to be non-conductive by STR Laboratories. The current NEC code shows that SĀFTRON pool rails do not need to be grounded or bonded as the rails are sealed at the time of manufacturing. We have also received a letter form NFPA (NEC Codes) stating that they feel SĀFTRON pool rails are not required to be grounded or bonded.
Will it rust or corrode?
SĀFTRON thermoplastic rails do not rust or corrode.
Will pool chemicals affect my railing?
SĀFTRON polymer rails are impervious to pool chemicals and salt.
Are SĀFTRON rails strong enough?
SĀFTRON high impact reinforced polymer
railing is created with specially formulated compounds using NSF approved materials to ensure superior strength and durability. Our rails and ladders are created with a polymer exterior, and contain a reinforced aluminum or steel interior, for added rigidity.
Does it meet code?
Our commercial line has been designed and engineered to meet and exceed local codes in all states for public and commercial pools.
Can a ladder or rail be installed on a wood deck?
Yes. SĀFTRON above ground mounting bases are recommended for installations on wooden surfaces.
Safety Railing
How can I get a quote?
SĀFTRON can provide a quote based on drawings submitted to our sales department. If no CAD drawling is available, please provide us with style, color, method of mounting, and dimensions, so we can create a quote for your project requirements.
Does it meet code?
SĀFTRON has been independently tested and certified to meet or exceed the BOCA Codes, Standard (Southern) Building
Code, OSHA codes and Park Ride Codes. SĀFTRON continually test its rails to insure that we meet updated codes.
Will it burn? Does it give off toxic fumes if burned?
SĀFTRON has a class A1 fire and smoke rating backed up by testing from PSI Laboratories. The railing will
self-extinguish itself when the flame is removed.
How is it mounted?
SĀFTRON railings are mounted the same way as other railing. The railing can be core mounted, plate mounted, side mounted and other mounting options. If you have a unique mounting issue, call customer service, and they will be able to advise you how the railing can be mounted to fit your specifications.
Where to use it?
SĀFTRON recommended installations include hotel balconies, condominiums and apartment buildings, waterfronts,
stairs, theme-parks, aquatic centers, industrial operations, resorts, and anywhere railing is needed.
Can my railing be scratched, dented, or chipped?
SĀFTRON high impact polymer railings are designed to be long-lasting and durable. SĀFTRON rails will not chip, flake, peel, or dent under normal use.
If SĀFTRON rails become scratched over time from rings, shoes, and normal wear, the railing can be cleaned with a light abrasive such as original Soft Scrub®. Don’t place railings on bare ground and keep railings in box until ready to install.
Can I get shop drawings?
Yes. SĀFTRON is staffed with a dedicated team of engineers and designers who can create CAD drawings to meet your requirements. SĀFTRON can provide cut sheets on the railing, and full shop drawings, once the project has commenced.
What colors are available?
SĀFTRON standard railing colors for assembled and knock-down sections are white, taupe, gray, beige, yellow, and black. Pricing for custom colors are dependent on quantity and the specific color required. Taupe, gray, beige, black, and additional yellow components are available with a minimum quantity order.
Can you bend the railing?
Yes. SĀFTRON is the innovator of thermal-structural, vinyl, plastic safety railing for over 25 years. We have been able to accomplish the most difficult bends, turns, and curves to meet architects and project specifications.
Can you customize it?
Most railings projects would be considered custom as they usually do not have the same dimensions. We can customize most any project.
