WAGNER INTRODUCES PANELGRIP FOR INSTALLATION OF GLASS PANEL RAILINGS
The Wagner Companies has developed PanelGripTM, a dry-mount glazing system for the installation of tempered glass panel railings. PanelGripTM enables the installer to fabricate a structural Glass Railing System with cost reductions up to 80% in labor and 30% in freight.
The Wagner PanelGripTM System is a patent-pending locking assembly of high-strength aluminum, two PVC isolators, and a specially designed aluminum shoe moulding. PanelGripTM requires no special tools and provides an easy, clean and cost effective alternative for the installation of tempered glass panels. PanelGripTM is for use with nominal ½" (12mm) tempered glass or other ½" thick panel material and allows for a .450" to .515" range in glass thickness. The PanelGripTM System was tested per ASTM E935, Standard Test Methods for Performance of Permanent Railing Systems and Rails for Buildings.
PanelGripTM Shoe Moulding is almost 30% lighter than standard shoe. This new shoe design reduces freight costs yet meets structural load requirements for railings.
For more information on the PanelGripTM System and other components and tools for the assembly of structural glass railing including shoe moulding, railing and mounting brackets, visit www.panelgrip.com or call (888) 243-6914.
