About Imperial Aluminum Railings

Imperial Kool-Ray Aluminum Railings are engineered for safety and designed for straightforward installation on decks, porches, balconies, walkways, and stairs. Stronger and more durable than wood or vinyl, these powder-coated aluminum railings are completely maintenance free — no painting or staining required, and they never rust, warp, crack, or fade. Three systems are available: the Monarch Ready-to-Assemble Kit with snap-in balusters (36" and 42" heights, kit lengths 46" to 72"), the Monarch for Glass Kit using 5mm tempered glass panels, and the Vision Glass Railing for a clean open look. All systems meet the National Building Code of Canada (NBC 2010) and the Ontario Building Code (OBC 2012), backed by stamped engineering drawings. Six colours available: White, Black, Warm Beige, Clay, Grey, and Commercial Brown. Warranted 20 years on materials, 5 years on paint, 2 years on plastic components.

Available at Pro Materials in Newmarket, Ontario, supplying contractors, builders, and homeowners across York Region, the GTA, and Ontario. All products are available on a quote basis; contact us for wholesale pricing and current availability.

Installation Guide

STEP 1 — Position posts at the appropriate locations. Set post base 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) from the outside edge of the deck or steps; 1/2" from the outside edge when adjacent to a wall. A plastic moisture gasket is required between each post base and the deck surface.
STEP 2 — Fix the spindle fittings to the post with 4× #8-18 × 1-1/4" TEK screws (2 per side). Lower the fittings if the surface is not level — the fitting position determines the rail height.
STEP 3 — For stairways: use a stair post at the base and a mounting post at the top. Mark and confirm the spindle fitting height on each stair post before driving screws, accounting for the stair angle.
STEP 4 — Join the railing sections to the fitting system, holding the rail firmly against the post face on both sides.
STEP 5 — Fasten the top and bottom railing to each spindle fitting with 4× #8-18 × 1/2" TEK screws (1 screw per side). For 42" or higher railings, also secure each spindle to the rails with #8-18 × 1/2" TEK screws on the outside surface.
STEP 6 — Insert snap-in spindles from the center of the span outward. Use 3-7/8" (9.8 cm) spacers to maintain code-compliant baluster spacing. Cut the last spacers to fit with a hacksaw.
STEP 7 — Once all sections are aligned and adjusted, fasten each post to the deck surface using appropriate mounting anchors for your substrate (wood, concrete, or fascia — anchors not included).
STEP 8 — Snap the rivet-covers into place and seat them flush with a rubber mallet. Install base cover caps to all posts to complete the installation.
