Balustrade Installation Instructions (6", 7" and 12" Systems)
RAILING & BALUSTER ASSEMBLY (CONTINUED
2-C. Measure the distance between newel posts or
columns. (Illustration D) Cut and or cope the rails to
length working with the bottom rail first
2-D. Lay out the center line spacing for the balusters on
the top and bottom rail section. Refer to the pipe in the
baluster for the proper hole size and drill the holes in the
rail accordingly. (Illustration F)
NOTE: Make sure to take measurements from both the
top and bottom of the newel post or column before cutting rails to length. Make sure the system is square. The
top rail may be longer than the bottom rail when
installing between tapered columns.
3. Set the bottom rail in place between the newel posts
or columns.
4. Rough up the top and bottom of each baluster and
the areas around the baluster holes in the top and bottom rails. Use a heavy grit sand paper, sanding disk or
dremel tool to expose the yellow foam core to ensure
the polyurethane adhesive will have a good surface to
bond to. (Illustration G)
5. Apply a 1/2" bead of urethane adhesive to the bottom of each baluster and put into place on the bottom
rail. (Illustration G)
6. Apply a 1/2" bead of urethane adhesive to the top
of each baluster and put the top rail in place.
(Illustration G)
7. Twist each baluster to ensure the adhesive contacts
the rail surfaces.
8. Strap the assembled rail section together loosely. Use
cardboard material to place under the straps to protect
the rail from strap marks. (Illustration H)
9. Use a tape measure or square to align all the balusters with the edge of the rail. (Illustration I)
10. Tighten straps on rail assembly and clean any
excess adhesive from around the balusters using a
putty knife and towel.(Illustration K)
11. Using a pencil, outline the top and bottom rail on
each newel post or column.
12. Remove the strapped rail section and rough up the
areas where the rails meet the newel post or column.
13. Apply a 1/2" bead of adhesive to the 4 ends of the
assembled rail section. (Illustration J) Set the rail section back in place and secure in place using 6 - 4" self
tapping screws. (Illustration K) Clean any excess adhesive from the area around the end of each rail.
14. Secure the newel posts in place by
tightening down the 1/2" nut. (Illustration L)
15. If applying a peak or flat cap, cut the all thread rod
flush with the top of the newel post. If applying a ball
drill a 1/2" hole in the bottom of the ball and cap. Set
cap and ball over allthread rod. Use adhesive and
screws to secure cap and ball in place. (Illustration M)
16. All screw holes should be filled using a two part
plastic wood filler.
17. All joints should be caulked using any quality latex
caulk.
18. Spot prime using "Kilz" oil-base or latex primer.
19. Paint using any quality latex or oil-base paint.
