although handrails may be necessary for safety purposes, done
well they are a jewel, an integral part of the building’s aesthetics.

our q-handrails as they do on our other railing systems.

square line is the ultimate answer to the demand
for contemporary and stylish railing systems. it is an
innovative quality concept in which a square tube is
used. the square line accommodates glass, cable or rod
infill, and offers a number of alternative components.
transform the appearance of your designs with the
straighter, cleaner, more modern-looking components
of the square line. because of the complete modularity
of the system you can even combine components of
the square line with components from other q-railing
systems. For example, mix square baluster posts with a
round cap rail. the possibilities are endless.
you’ve seen the new trend coming, and so have we. the new
look is edgy and square, with sharp corners and sharp lines.
q-railing’s square line – completely unique in the railing
systems market – lets you utilize this square shape to create
an entirely new look.

Quickrail®
like all of q-railing’s product lines, quickrail is designed
for both indoor and outdoor uses. From office buildings
to apartment complexes, balconies to separations,
architects worldwide are incorporating this industrial
look into their designs.
why is it called ‘quickrail’? the reason is concealed
beneath the clean, seamless connection to the top
rail. inside each baluster post is a hidden track. For
installation, the components that attach the infill to the
posts simply slide onto the posts and lock in place. no
drilling, screwing, or welding required. that’s what we
call q-innovation.
when your project calls for a symmetrical, industrial look
with lots of sharp corners and visible parts, quickrail delivers.
made from the perfect balance of anodized aluminium and
satined stainless steel, quickrail easily accommodates either
glass or rod infill.
20 Q-designs by Q-railing
because of its hidden track, quickrail easily
installs on site. the baluster is put in place
with a unique 1 anchoring system. glass
connectors and rod holders all just slide
in and lock into place. the top rail is then
drilled and tapped.

anchored by an aluminium base with a stainless steel
effect finish, the top mount easy glass system®'s
seamless welded cap rail is an industry first. while the
system can be installed without a cap rail for a ‘nearly
invisible’ look, we believe that our satined stainless steel
cap rails – available in round, oval or rectangular shapes
– are the perfect detail to compliment the design.
Featuring a unique installation system that dramatically
lowers installation time and costs, q-railing’s easy glass
system® makes high modern design feasible for projects
of all types – not just those on the top end. stunning
design… simple installation… unparalleled quality; easy
glass® delivers it all.
a sophisticated glass railing has a dramatic impact on
the aesthetics of a building. q-railing’s easy glass system®
combines safety and transparency with high quality metal
railing hardware.

installing a full glass railing system has
never been easier. with easy glass®’ dry
wedge system the glass is placed perfectly
in the base shoe without the use of special
tools. the cap rail then grips the glass
with our special rubber profile made from
epdm rubber.

easy glass® evolution
what does easy glass®’ fascia mount system mean
for you? easy glass® provides a high modern design
solution for situations in which you want to make use
of the full space, such as on balconies and stairwells,
and want to have a range of design options. all easy
glass® product lines include a choice of round, oval or
rectangular cap rails.
For installation purposes easy glass®’ fascia mount system
utilizes a start profile that is much lighter and easier
to maneuver than the full railing base. once the start
profile is installed the full railing base slides simply and
easily into place. this methodology makes installation
both faster and safer – especially when working in high
or difficult-to-reach spaces.
stunning high modern design. extreme safety and quality. and
an installation method that makes easy glass®’ minimalist glass
railing system affordable for projects of all types. it’s no wonder
q-railing’s new generation glass railing system has been
repeatedly recognised with industry awards for innovation.

when you’re looking for space winning
solutions, the fascia mount easy glass
system® gives you what you need. after a
slim start profile is mounted to the sides,
the actual base shoe is easy to install. as
with all easy glass® railing systems, the
glass is then mounted using our easy dry
wedge installation system.
another design alternative is our adapter
block for fascia mount connection. two
point fixtures clamp the glass and gives an
even more transparent look.
