PRE-FIT RAIL SYSTEMS

Post is notched for exact location and height.

Stair is notched for post and treads drilled for balusters.

One end of rail is precut for quick field installation with post to post rail systems. Opposite end is cut to fit in field.

Cooper Pre-fit Rail Systems combined with our preassembled stairs enable you to realize many cost efficiencies. No more questions on what parts to use? Where to find them? How they go together? Simply select any stock or custom style balustrade. Our professional stair builders will configure the correct parts and prefit them to your stair while it is in our shop.

Pitch rails on stair are drilled for easy baluster insertion up into rail and down into tread.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHEN DO I START? Contact us at the beginning of the design phase. This is when you have the most options available and our expertise can be most helpful. We will meet your design requirements and value engineer your project. The longer you wait the more you limit your options or create unusual and costly framing changes. HOW DO I START? Send us a copy of your plans in the area of the stair at each level and provide the height from floor to floor. You may request lit- erature or view our website, www.CooperStairworks.com, for our offerings to consider your rail and baluster preferences. Our Stair Quotation form (online) will guide you through the planning pro- cess. We will send you a quotation for the complete stair system with your choice of balustrade or one we have recommended to meet your budget.

HOW DO I ORDER? Simply approve the quotation. We will finalize the details and send a contract for you to sign. A shop drawing will follow for approval and if you are within reach of our serviced areas, a field technician will confirm field dimensions. If you have purchased a curved stair sys- tem we provide the curved wall plates, curved floor templates and a positioning diagram to coordinate the fit of the stair system while framing. This allows you to complete most of the framing and wall finish prior to taking delivery of the stair and rail system. WHEN DOES THE STAIR ARRIVE? Once the job is weather tight, the stair and rail system will be deliv- ered. The stair will be wrapped with six-mil polyethylene wrap and tread guards will be applied to protect the stair from jobsite traffic. When ready the protective wrap can be turned back and the rail system unpacked and applied.

WE ALSO OFFER COMPLETE INSTALLATION IN OUR SERVICE AREA. SEE YOUR SALES REPRESENTATIVE FOR DETAILS.
