Base Shoe Top Cladding 118" (3m)
The RTC10 Base Shoe Top Cladding is a 118" (3m) aluminum finishing profile designed for compatible glass railing and base shoe systems. Installed along the top of the base shoe, it provides a clean, continuous finish that helps complete the architectural appearance of the railing assembly.
As part of a complete base shoe railing system, the top cladding works together with the base shoe, glass clamps, glazing gasket, and other compatible components to create a streamlined and professionally finished installation.
Clean Architectural Finish
The RTC10 is designed to conceal and finish the upper portion of the base shoe profile, creating a continuous visual transition along the glass railing.
Its streamlined aluminum profile complements contemporary glass railing systems where clean lines, transparency, and minimal visible hardware are important design considerations.
The finishing profile is especially suitable for architectural applications where the appearance of the completed railing is as important as the functionality of the system.
Designed for Base Shoe Railing Systems
The RTC10 is a dedicated component of the Interglass Base Shoe Railing collection. The system includes compatible base shoes, clamps, gaskets, end caps, drainage components, and other accessories designed to work together as a complete railing assembly.
The top cladding is installed after the glass panel has been positioned and adjusted within the base shoe. According to the installation literature, the seal is inserted into the cladding before the cladding is snapped into place to complete the installation.
Installation Sequence
The RTC10 is designed to be incorporated into the finishing stage of the base shoe installation:
- Secure the compatible base shoe profile to the supporting structure.
- Install the compatible glass clamps inside the profile.
- Insert and position the glass panel.
- Adjust the glass position and inclination using the compatible clamp system.
- Insert the appropriate seal into the cladding.
- Snap the top cladding into position to complete the assembly.
Always follow the applicable system installation instructions and project-specific engineering requirements.
Aluminum Construction
The RTC10 is manufactured from aluminum and has a continuous 118" (3m) length, providing a coordinated finishing solution for compatible base shoe profiles of the same length. Interglass' product literature identifies RTC10 as an aluminum 118" (3m) Base Shoe Top Cladding.
