• Custom glass railing from Trex Commercial Products is featured on the building’s stairs and along the bleacher seating area, providing a continuous look throughout the facility
  • Trex Commercial Products engineered custom pressure plates, mounted to a steel stinger, to accommodate the commercial railing loading requirements while preserving the architect’s minimalist vision for the space.
  • “Puck”-style LED lighting is built directly into the handrail for a dramatic effect that also enhances safety and traffic flow. Cherry wood handrail with a notch to fit over a 1”x 1 ” stainless steel handrail support tube adds warmth to the building’s abundance of glass and steel, as well as easily graspable support.
  • 13/16”laminated tempered glass with a 0.060” SGP interlayer allows for a “barely there” appearance that creates a sense of openness in the building’s lobby.
