ATR Technologies, Inc. is the manufacturer of Aluminum Tube Railings. For over 38 Years the construction industry has been served by this product. Aluminum Tube Railings utilize non-welded and welded, inter-locking and tamper-free connections to produce long lasting and maintenance free aluminum railing systems including balcony guardrails, ramp handrails, stair railings and griprails. Styles include picket railings, glass panel railings, multiple line railings and pipe railings. Aluminum Tube Railings have been installed on thousands of projects worldwide, including hotels and condominiums (high rise and low-rise), apartment buildings, water treatment plants, beachfront buildings, boardwalks, and many other custom installations. Additional information is always available upon request.

Uses, Applications
Aluminum Tube Railing systems are ideally suited for maintenance free requirements such as decks and balconies. Railing systems over 4’-0" (1.21 Meters) high produce maintenance free fencing for pool areas and site perimeters. Other ornamental applications include French Rails, Trellis Structures, Fretwork, and Chair Rails.

Assembly, Installation
Aluminum Tube Railing systems are easily installed, requiring virtually no assembly on the jobsite. Railing sections are shipped pre-assembled in lengths up to 20’-0" (6.09 Meters) long. Field assembly of Aluminum Tube Railing sections is accomplished by joining together the prefabricated sections and setting them into place. Shop drawings are provided for each awarded contract. Additional instructions are provided upon request. Installation by ATR Technologies, Inc. is available depending on project magnitude, location and requirements.

Materials, Finishes
Aluminum Tube Railings are produced from 6063-T6 & 6005-T5 aluminum alloys. A variety of finishes are available including several grades of baked enamel, powder coat and anodize. All mechanical connections use interlocking technology which is hidden from view or use internal fasteners of aluminum, cadmium plated or stainless steel. Typical designs utilize non-welded joints. These mechanically connected joints avoid welded construction and also avoid the "halos" or discolored areas commonly seen with anodized finishes on welded joints. When required, welded construction is utilized. See Finishes Profile for additional information.

Technical Support
ATR Technologies, Inc. provides design and cost estimates, installation, shop drawings, engineering calculations, custom extrusions and additional support for any project as required.

Workmanship and Installation
Aluminum Tube Railings shall be fabricated according to approved shop drawings and actual field dimensions. All materials shall be installed plumb, square, level and shall be anchored securely in proper alignment with adjacent work. Posts shall be anchored according to approved shop drawings. Adequate provisions shall be made for thermal expansion and contraction of all exterior railings. All miters and field cuts shall be smoothed after joining. When aluminum is placed in contact with dissimilar materials, the aluminum surface shall be protected by a vinyl tape or epoxy paint barrier.

Final Acceptance
The railing subcontractor shall complete the railings for final inspection and acceptance as installed according to the contract requirements. The General Contractor shall be responsible for protecting the installed railings from subsequent operations of other trades during the balance of construction as required.

Codes, Certification
Engineering calculations are provided as required. When specified, certified engineering is provided by a California State Certified engineer for each project awarded. Aluminum Tube Railings by ATR Technologies, Inc. meet and exceed the loading requirements established by IBC, UBC, BOCA, OSHA, SBC, HUD, FHA, ANSI A117.1 and local Building Codes. Where required, railings are designed to comply with ADA Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG).

Operation, Maintenance
Aluminum Tube Railings by ATR Technologies, Inc. are virtually maintenance free. Exterior installations are generally self-cleaning where seasonal rains rinse off dust and debris. When heavier deposits are subject to occur, mild detergents and household cleaners are generally recommended but are subject to the Finishers’ cleaning recommendations. These recommendations are available as required.
