This CRL B5S Series Standard Square Aluminum Base
Shoe is used as the base channel for glass railing systems. It can be clad in
five choices of architectural finishes. The most critical component in a railing
system is the proper attachment of the Aluminum Base Shoe to the substrate. CRL
has engineered and tested a variety of attachment methods, and has developed an
acceptable combination of drilling patterns and fasteners. A printed brochure
with Instructions, Installation Hints, Cleaning, and Refinishing techniques is
