Base Shoe Cladding 118" (3m)
The RC10 Base Shoe Cladding is a 118" (3m) aluminum finishing profile designed for compatible glass railing and base shoe systems. It provides a clean, continuous finish to the exterior of the base shoe profile while helping create the streamlined architectural appearance associated with contemporary glass railing systems.
Designed as part of the Interglass Base Shoe system, the RC10 works with compatible base shoes, glass clamps, gaskets, filler strips, and other components to create a coordinated and professionally finished railing assembly. The product is identified by Interglass as SKU RC10 – Base Shoe Cladding 118" (3m).
Clean Architectural Finish
The Base Shoe Cladding is designed to finish the exterior of the base shoe profile, creating a continuous visual surface along the glass railing.
By covering the exterior portion of the base shoe, the cladding helps create a more refined and cohesive appearance while maintaining the clean lines of the railing system.
The streamlined profile is particularly well suited to contemporary architectural applications where transparency, minimal visual impact, and consistent detailing are important.
Aluminum Construction
The RC10 is an aluminum profile with a 118" (3m) length, designed to complement compatible 3m base shoe sections.
Its continuous profile provides a consistent finish along the length of the railing and can be selected in different architectural finishes depending on the desired project aesthetic.
Available Finishes
The RC10 Base Shoe Cladding is available in three finishes:
- Sanded Black
- Sand Silver
- Brushed Anodized
These finish options allow the visible portion of the base shoe system to coordinate with the architectural design, surrounding materials, and other railing hardware.
Sanded Black
A dark, contemporary finish suited to modern architectural projects and applications where a strong contrast with clear glass is desired.
Sand Silver
A neutral metallic finish that provides a subtle and contemporary appearance while coordinating naturally with aluminum and other architectural materials.
Brushed Anodized
A refined brushed aluminum appearance that emphasizes the material character of the profile while maintaining a clean architectural aesthetic.
