Base Shoe 236" (6m) Pre-Drilled with 48 Holes of 1/2"
The RBS240D Base Shoe is a continuous 236" (6m) aluminum profile designed for compatible glass railing and base shoe systems. Pre-drilled with 48 holes of 1/2" (12.5 mm), this profile provides predetermined anchoring points to help streamline installation while maintaining a clean, continuous architectural appearance.
Designed as part of a complete glass railing system, the base shoe provides a structural foundation for compatible glass panels, clamps, gaskets, cladding, and finishing components. Its continuous profile helps create the streamlined appearance associated with contemporary glass railing and balustrade applications.
Pre-Drilled for Efficient Installation
The RBS240D is supplied with 48 pre-drilled holes of 1/2" (12.5 mm) distributed along the 236" (6m) profile.
The pre-drilled configuration helps establish consistent anchoring points and can reduce the need for on-site drilling of the base shoe. This makes the profile well suited for professional railing installations where efficiency, consistency, and a clean finished result are important.
The base shoe is installed onto the supporting structure using appropriate anchoring hardware. Compatible glass clamps can then be positioned within the profile to support the glass panel as part of the complete railing assembly.
Clean Architectural Design
The continuous base shoe creates a streamlined transition between the supporting structure and the glass. By integrating the supporting components within the base shoe system, the finished railing can maintain a clean and visually minimal appearance.
The combination of an aluminum profile and glass is particularly suited to contemporary architectural environments where transparency, natural light, and unobstructed views are important design considerations.
The RBS240D can be incorporated into residential, commercial, and architectural glass railing applications.
Glass Railing System Component
The RBS240D is designed to function as part of a complete base shoe glass railing system rather than as an isolated component.
Compatible system components may include:
- Adjustable glass railing clamps
- Base shoe gaskets
- Base shoe cladding
- Base shoe end caps
- Drain blocks
- Rubber filler strips
- Appropriate anchoring hardware
Interglass currently lists the RBS240D together with the RZ06 and RZ10 adjustable clamps, base shoe gaskets, cladding, end caps, drain blocks, and related components, making these natural complementary products for the system.
Applications
The 236" (6m) Pre-Drilled Base Shoe can be incorporated into compatible glass railing systems for:
- Balconies
- Terraces
- Decks
- Stairways
- Pool surrounds
- Commercial properties
- Residential projects
- Architectural glass guardrails
- Interior glass railings
- Exterior glass railing systems
Its long 236" (6m) profile makes it suitable for projects where longer continuous sections are desired, subject to project design and structural requirements.
