Rail Systems

Joints in the rails are sleeved to give continuity, allowing the use of more economical sections and giving an improved deflection performance.
Double Span Joint Arrangement
This system combines single and double span rails with their joints staggered and sleeved. The provision of a sleeve at the unjointed connections over the penultimate support is required.
Standard Punching Patterns
These layouts do not imply that all sections are suitable.
Non Standard Punching Patterns
Additional holes on the standard punchlines will be made as detailed. Non standard punchlines can be incorporated at no extra charge.
As the rails are single spans simply supported between the columns, they can be positioned to suit the architectural details, rather than be governed by the section depth of continuous rail systems that must pass across the column faces. Note: Where damage to the finishes might arise from the effects of deflection in side rails, or where rails are intended to provide lateral restraint to the tops of brick walls, deflection design checks should be carried out, with use of our design suite.
Butted Joint Arrangement
This system can occasionally involve notched end connections to the rails due to width restrictions imposed by the Architect. Non standard cleats are therefore required.
