This PER is an official document if it is within one year of the Initial or Re-Approval date. Initial Approval Re-Approved January, 2016 June, 2017 See all Pei ES Listings at: Report Owner Fiber Composites, LLC 181 Random Drive New London, NC Products Fiberon Symmetry Railing Fiberon Horizon Railing Veranda Regency White Rail Veranda ArmorGuard Railing Veranda Enclave Railing HomeSelect Guardrails Approved Manufacturing Locations Fiber Composites, LLC 181 Random Drive New London, NC Evaluation Report Information Fiber Composites Contact Information: or info@fiberondecking.com General Details Fiberon, Veranda, and HomeSelect Guardrails have been tested and evaluated for structural strength to meet design loads and requirements of the building codes listed under the Code Compliance section of this PER. The plant locations listed above have an approved Q.C. Manual to manufacture the product. Fiber Composites, LLC has an Evaluation and Follow-up Service Agreement with Pei Evaluation Service (Pei ES) and an Inspection Agreement with Progressive Engineering Inc. (Pei ). Each manufacturing facility will be audited on a quarterly basis by Pei. Product Descriptions All guardrail systems (except Veranda ArmorGuard) covered by this PER are co-extruded MPVC products manufactured in one of the following Pei ES approved colors: White, Tranquil White, Black, Serene Black, Bronze, Dark Walnut, Simply Brown, Mahogany, Redwood, and Cedar. Veranda ArmorGuard is co-extruded Polyethylene/Wood core with HDPE capstock manufactured in two Pei ES approved colors: Nantucket Gray and Brazilian Walnut. Railing systems consist of the structural components outlined in Table 2 and Table 4 and fasteners outlined in Table 3 and Table 5. Fiberon Symmetry assembly and component details are shown in Figure 1 through Figure 11, and Fiberon Horizon assembly and component details are shown in Figure 12 through Figure 19. Veranda Regency White Rail assembly and component details are shown in Figure 20 through 27, Veranda ArmorGuard assembly and component details are shown in Figure 28 through 35, and Veranda Enclave assembly and component details are shown in Figure 36 through 42. HomeSelect Guardrails are manufactured in four (5) Pei ES approved styles: Classic, Deluxe, Traditional, Naturals, and Sentry. Assembly and component details are shown in Figure 43 through 52. General Product Usage 1. All guardrails shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's installation instructions and the conditions of this PER. A copy of the manufacturer's installation instructions shall be made easily available to the installer. 2. All framing, wood posts, beams, joists, stringers and associated connections required to anchor the railing posts are outside the scope of this PER. All framing shall follow applicable codes or be designed by a licensed Engineer. Stairway handrail shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the applicable codes. 3. Fiberon Symmetry Railings may be used in all construction types where untreated wood is permitted in accordance with Section of the IBC.
