CRL B6 Series Standard Square Base Shoe is used as the base channel for glass railing systems. It can be clad in six choices of architectural finishes. The most critical component in a railing system is the proper attachment of the Base Shoe to the substrate. CRL has engineered a variety of attachment methods, and has developed an acceptable combination of drilling patterns and fasteners. The five engineered methods of attachment can be found in our HR11 catalog on pages B132 to B133, and associated fasteners are shown on pages B156 to B157. A printed brochure with instructions, installation hints, cleaning, and refinishing techniques is available.


Product Warning:

CRL does not recommend direct powder coating of this base shoe extrusion. Powder coated cladding applied over the base shoe is the recommended method.

All pre-drilled CRL Base Shoes have a +1/8 (3mm) / -1/16 (1.5mm) tolerance between each hole drilled in the base. Before drilling installation holes in the concrete or steel substrate it is recommended that the installer place the base shoe into the planned final position, then mark the position of the holes to be drilled into the substrate.
