SC Railing contributed stainless steel ArchitectuRAIL Point Series and Base Shoe railing systems to the grand lobby and balcony overlooks. The Point Series railing system is a side mounted system utilizing 2 ½” stainless steel nodes.
For the JW Marriott, a drilled and tapped steel plate was field welded to the steel embed. The Point Series nodes were then mechanically fastened to the plate.
The Base Shoe railing system includes a top mounted ½” glass shoe anchored to the structural slab. A stainless steel handrail at 36” helps minimize glass deflection while maintaining clear sightlines between floors.
The ½” low iron tempered glass utilized throughout this project was fabricated by Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope, and installed by W. L. Hall Company.
