The glass railing system using spigots is the main product line of Zhengda Steel Structure, and seamless installation of glass railings begins with thorough preparation. Zhengda Steel Structure provides spigot system glass railing kits, including tempered glass panels, spigot, and stainless steel railings, plus add-on kits for each and every glass railing project. Prior to installation of glass railings, ensure all pieces of the spigot system have been accounted for, and check the flatness of the installation surface, as unevenness will compromise the stability of the glass railing. Zhengda Steel Structure suggests that appropriate measurements of the installation location are taken, so that the glass spigots and railing panels can be fitted for a seamless glass railing installation.

Fixing Spigots for Glass Railing Securely

The first step in glass railing installation using a spigot system is fixing the spigots. Spigots by Zhengda Steel Structure come with a precision design for simple and secure installation. Use professional fasteners by Zhengda Steel Structure to secure each spigot to the floor or deck. This also ensures each spigot is vertical and leveled for glass railing installation. Each bolt should be tightened to a specific torque with a torque wrench. This is to ensure no bolts will loosen which can create a hazard with the glass railing. Zhengda Steel Structures also advises spigot installers to ensure the mounting surfaces are clean before spigot installation to optimize the stability of the glass railing spigot system.

Installation of Glass Panels for Spigot Glass Railing

Putting in the glass panels is the most important part for the spigot glass railing and Zhengda Steel Structure’s tempered glass panels for glass railing are pre cut for perfect fits for standard spigot sizes. Carefully hoist each glass panel into the spigots that were pre-fixed for the glass railing ensuring that the glass is seated firmly in the rubber gaskets that come with Zhengda Steel Structure’s glass railing kit. Glass is susceptible to breaking if there is too much pressure applied to the glass, so be careful. Zhengda Steel Structure recommends that every glass railing panel be placed by at least two people for even and safe placement.

Locking Components and Glass Railing Stability

The glass locking components from Zhengda Steel Structures will allow for long lasting support of the glass railing. The spigot glass railing features high end locking clamps which are sealed with rubber clamps. To create a glass railing system with spigots and glass panels, attach sealing clamps to the top of the spigots. Squeeze rubber clamps to eliminate water invasion for outdoor glass railing systems. Ensure there are no gaps between the glass and spigot in order to avoid shaking or shifting of the glass railing. To remain stable for years, locking components from Zhengda Steel Structures are rust resistant.

Check the Entire Spigot Glass Railing System

When the glass railing system is installed, a complete inspection is performed to make sure everything is in order as is compulsory by Zhengda Steel Structure for all glass railing spigot system installations. Every spigot must be vertical, all fasteners must be secure, the glass railing must not be loose, and all glass panes must be clear. Check to see if all locking devices are installed and in working order. Zhengda Steel Structure recommends that a gap inspection should be performed for all glass panels to ensure that the glass railing system is both safe and pleasing in appearance.

Caring for Your Newly Installed Glass Railing

Some simple post installation care extends the service life of the glass railing. They also provide detailed maintenance instructions for their spigot system glass railing. Spigot system glass railings must have metal spigots and fasteners wiped with an anti-rust oil and the glass panels wiped with a soft cloth to clean the panels of dust and/or fingerprints. With outdoor glass railings, the spigot system must be cleaned periodically to ensure dirt and debris do not promote corrosion. The lifetime free spare parts policy offered by Zhengda Steel Structure for all glass railings means any glass railing component parts can be replaced and restored to like new condition at any time.
