KLEERRAIL™ PVC RAILING SYSTEM

First Architecturally Correct Engineered Railing System to Offer Blind Fastening

LAS VEGAS (January 22, 2013) — Kleer Lumber, Inc., a leading American manufacturer of cellular PVC building products, announced today at the International Builders’ Show (IBS) the introduction of KLEERRail™ PVC Railing. The first architecturally correct engineered railing system to offer blind fastening, KLEERRail PVC Railing has the elegant appearance of a premium, painted wood railing system without wood’s endless maintenance. An extension of Kleer cellular PVC Trimboard, KLEERRail PVC Railing System can be used as railing on porches, decks and patios.

“In addition to its beauty, strength and low maintenance, homeowners will appreciate the architectural design and custom capabilities of the KLEERRail PVC Railing System,” said Jack Delaney, senior vice president of marketing and sales for Kleer Lumber. “Design options are greatly expanded with our new railing system. For unique designs, one can bend the KLEERRail PVC product for a curved look or add mixed materials, such as wrought iron or glass. The end result is a very high-end, customized engineered railing system with no unsightly brackets to detract from the railing system appearance.”

Manufactured from cellular PVC to look and feel like painted wood, KLEERRail PVC Railing Systems are available assembled in 36” x 8’ and 36” x 6’ sections as well as 6’ and 8’ sections to be assembled. Kleer pre-assembled rail sections are the first of their kind and should prove very popular with contractors and deck builders with time constraints for constructing a railing system from scratch. The KLEERRail PVC Railing System Kit comes with everything needed for a safe and secure railing system, including an easy to follow installation guide. The architecturally correct, engineered railing system is designed to be assembled, not nailed together. With blind fastening, there are no exposed brackets or fasteners. The high-end railing has the appearance of a low-gloss brushstroke finish similar to painted or stained wood. It does not need to be painted for protection but can be painted to complement most any exterior décor.

The durable PVC construction is reinforced with aluminum for additional strength. To demonstrate the company’s confidence in its product, the KLEERRail PVC Railing System includes a 25-year Limited Lifetime Transferrable Residential Warranty as well as a 10-year Limited Lifetime Commercial Warranty that covers labor as well as product replacement.
