Integrated Balcony Railing System®

The problem is not the membrane. It is the connection.

Balcony leaks and resulting litigation most often trace back to a single detail: the transition between the waterproofing system and the railing system.

Two trades. Two scopes. Two responsibilities.

That gap is where failures begin.

The Why

Railing penetrations through waterproofed balconies are one of the most sensitive and failure-prone details in multifamily construction.
When waterproofing and railing systems are designed independently, accountability is divided. Divided accountability creates risk. Risk creates leaks. Leaks create lawsuits.

The industry has accepted this as unavoidable. It is not.

The How

The Integrated Railing System brings the waterproofing system and railing system together as one engineered assembly.

The aluminum railing itself is not the waterproofing system. The proprietary integrated connection is.

Through manufacturer-controlled detailing, defined installation practices, and coordinated execution, the vulnerable connection point is engineered to eliminate the common failures associated with two separate trades.

One Manufacturer.
One Subcontractor.
One System.

The Who

This system is built for multifamily developers, general contractors, and trade partners who prioritize failure-free balconies.

Partners who reduce liability.
Partners who demand accountability.
Partners who want to be different in their market.
