Please read all instructions completely before starting any part of the installation.
AZEK Rail should be installed using the same good building principals used to install wood or composite railing and in accordance with
the local building codes and the installation guidelines included below. AZEK Building Products Inc. claims no liability or responsibility for
the improper installation of this product.
AZEK Rail may not be suitable for every application and it is the sole responsibility of the installer to be sure that AZEK Rail is fit for the
intended use. Since all installations are unique, it is also the installers responsibility to determine specific requirements in regards to each
Rail application.
AZEK Building Products recommends that all designs be reviewed by a licensed architect, engineer or local building official before
installation. Should you have specific questions prior to installation, please call AZEK customer service at 877-ASK-AZEK (877-275-2935)
or visit our website at www.azek.com.
AZEK Railing is tested as a whole system and should be used that way. It is not intended to be used in conjunction with other railing
systems or fasteners.
The following Installation Guidelines are applicable for installation of AZEK Premier, AZEK Trademark, and AZEK Reserve Rail Systems
(except AZEK Reserve over post applications).
Safety: Always wear goggles when handling, cutting, drilling and fastening materials.
