Elegance & Style that is Virtually Maintenance Free
Pure View Glass Railing System offers elegance and style without compromising the view. The ease of sliding the tempered glass panels into pre-routed slots of the top and bottom Pure View Rails, provides a classy full iron or aluminum glass railing system. The beveled edge of each glass panel adds to its distinct beauty and brings an additional bit of flair and sophistication to an outdoor sanctuary.
Its 3.75" (95.25mm) wide panels allow for easier cleaning by providing the ability to reach between panels. This is much easier than leaning over the top of full custom cut glass sheets. Finally, homeowners will be able to enjoy the outdoors with the increased air circulation between glass panels, which will be a refreshing change from sealed off glass panes.
Easy Installation Options
Fortress offers additional accessories with easy installation in mind, such as Nylon Mounting Shoes, Polished Pure View Clips, and Stainless Steel Mounting Screws, all for us with traditional wood rails or composite lumber. For a full iron and glass installation, simply install Pure View Rails for a fast and simple installation.
