THE ALUMINUM ADVANTAGE Designers choose aluminum over steel for architectural railings for many reasons. From a cost-to-value standpoint, there is no comparison. Aluminum is lightweight, easy to install, and provides longer service and a lower life cycle cost. Consider all the advantages. PRODUCT FEATURES & BENEFITS Aluminum versus Steel: - One-third the density - Lower freight cost - Easier to install - Maintenance free - Longer service life - Corrosion and rust resistant Green: aluminum is green environmentally friendly metal (100 percent recyclable) Materials: high strength 6061-T6 alloy extruded aluminum profiles Finish: super-durable powder-coated finish with custom color options Design: simplified, strong, welded fabricated system Life: corrosion resistant Strength: high-strength yet lightweight railing systems Aesthetics: attractive system with smooth lines and welded connections Economical: unitized systems are easy and economical to install Replacement: individual sections can be replaced if damaged Greco s aluminum railing products are factory welded to exact specifications and tolerances, assuring faster installation and on-site savings. All specialapplication railing systems are field measured and manufactured to the highest standards. GLASS RAILING SYSTEMS Glass railing systems are specified to enhance a building s architectural features and provide the user with the maximum amount of visibility. Greco glass railing systems use 6 mm (1/4 ) transparent tempered or 5/16 laminated safety glass that is available in clear or tinted colors. A popular design option incorporates welded decorative patterns with glass to create a striking appearance. PICKET RAILING SYSTEMS Picket railing systems are commonly specified for the economical benefits achieved in the fabrication and installation procedures. The vertical design minimizes the possibility of climbability within the system while providing an open and secure atmosphere. Greco picket railing systems allow for maximum airflow, unobstructed views, and low maintenance. The components are completely welded to certify a solid, rattle-free railing. PANEL RAILING SYSTEMS Panel railings are available in perforated, or flat systems. Panel systems provide the user with maximum privacy while enhancing the building s exterior features. Greco can create one-of-a-kind panels by manufacturing architectural decorative patterns. Greco also provides the ultimate railing system by combining the privacy and visual barrier features of a panel railing and the visual openness achieved with glass. The 2/3 panel, 1/3 glass railing system offers the best of both design features. PRIVACY SCREENS Greco offers a variety of design options that limit views and create privacy. Product options include solid or perforated metal panels, as well as, obscure glass. All privacy screens are manufactured to meet the project s specific aesthetic and performance needs.
