Question 1
What is Tek-Rail made of? Return to top
|
Answer
The
basic ingredient is rigid PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) with impact
modifiers and high levels of Titanium Dioxide for UV
resistance. Return to top
|
Question 2
Will it turn yellow? |
Answer
No!
Tek-Rail products contain high levels of titanium dioxide which
prevents ultraviolet degradation. Our white products have a free limited
lifetime warranty. The tan vinyl has a limited twenty year warranty. Return to top

Question 3
Will it break in cold weather? Will it hold its rigidity in hot weather? |
Answer
As
with most plastics, vinyl will become less flexible in colder weather
conditions. However, unless subjected to unusual impact, it will not
break. It is normal for vinyl materials to expand and contract during
temperature changes. Tek-Rail has been engineered to accommodate normal
temperature swings and changing climate conditions. Return to top

Question 4
Will it burn? |
Answer
PVC
has a high flash point, 716 degrees F. It does not readily ignite and
does not sustain combustion once the source of ignition is removed. It
is therefore categorized as being
"Self-Extinguishing." Return to top

Question 5
How strong is it? |
Answer
Tek-Rail has been engineered to exceed IRC, IBC
2006 AND 2009 building codes when installed to Tek-Rail specifications Return

|
Question 6
How do I clean it? |
Answer
A
damp cloth usually does it. For more stubborn dirt, you can power wash
it and use chlorine bleach for stains. Never use PVC cleaner, as that
product is used to melt PVC for solvent welding. Return to top

Question 7
I'm
an Architect and want to spec your railing on my drawings. Are your
technical drawings available in a format for me to do a cut and paste? |

Question 8
How can I get a bid for Tek-Rail material for my next Commercial project? |
Answer
Send
us a full and up-to-date set of Architectural Design Drawings and
Specifications, being sure to include clearly rendered building plans,
elevations, and a site plan. We can provide a quote for material
installed and/or for material only. More and more Contractors are
preferring to install Tek-Rail themselves once they see how easy it is.

Question 9
What colors of Tek-Rail are available? |
Answer

Question 10
Why vinyl - how does it compare to wood, aluminum, and steel? |
Answer
Tek-Rail
is 100% Maintenance Free, comes with a Free Limited Lifetime Warranty,
is Chemically Engineered to Avoid Yellowing,
Guaranteed to Never Chip, Rust or Splinter, Never Needs Painting, and
is Stress Tested and Impact Resistant. Compare that to the cracking,
chipping, splintering, and constant painting of wood; and don't forget
the denting and rusting of aluminum and steel. Nothing holds up better
than the Tek-Rail Quality Vinyl Railing System and continuing
maintenance cost is practically nonexistent. Return to top
|
Question 11
Just what makes Tek-Rail better than those other vinyl products? |
Answer
It's
not just the Quality of our Service that is second to none - the
materials used and how they are assembled into the final product are
every bit as important. Many people, when they think of vinyl and PVC
(Polyvinyl Chloride), immediately think of "plastic." Well, times have changed! Our
assembled product is code tested and certified. Tek-Rail Quality Vinyl
Railing Systems are custom fabricated from specially manufactured
materials that are specifically designed to be used as railing. The Tek-Rail product was designed to be
used as railing and can stand up to the stress and strain of
those times when safety is essential. With Tek-Rail, you get exactly
what you pay for. That means value, safety, quality, reliability,
and beauty all rolled into one exceptional package! Return
