New product offering significantly expands railing design options
OAKLAND, Calif. – Feeney, Inc., a leading manufacturer of high quality stainless steel and aluminum railing systems, has introduced DesignRail® Panel Infill, a trend forward line of alternative infills for both interior and exterior railing applications.
The new infills are offered in a variety of standard materials and styles, and can also be customized to meet almost any residential or commercial design specification. Styles include stainless steel wire mesh and laser cut aluminum panels with powder-coated finishes for interior or exterior applications along with resin panels with embedded materials such as rice grass and leaves for use in interior settings.
“Alternative infill solutions continue to grow in popularity as architects, builders and homeowners look for creative ways to personalize and differentiate spaces,” said Andy Penny, vice president of marketing and advertising for Feeney. “We're always looking to develop products that combine the highest possible performance with unmatched durability and aesthetic beauty while addressing an unmet market need. This newest addition to the Feeney line delivers on that promise by expanding the range of solutions for our DesignRail® aluminum railing line.”
Available for 36- and 42-inch railing heights, the infills can be mixed-and-matched with Feeney's other DesignRail® infill options – including CableRail, glass, vertical cable and pickets – and are compatible with all DesignRail® top rail styles and with Feeney Post Accent Lights. The laser cut aluminum panel infills can be powder-coated in any DesignRail® or custom color, providing even more design flexibility.
Simple to install, the infills fit easily into the pre-engineered DesignRail® frame and are fully surrounded on all four sides with a low-profile aluminum channel, providing an aesthetically clean appearance with minimal transition from panel to frame. For the stainless steel wire mesh styles, all components are fully isolated to prevent contact among dissimilar metals, which is critical in harsh environments.
DesignRail® Panel Infill can be ordered from authorized Feeney dealers.
