Ultra Aluminum introduced a new CCRR-Code Approved ready-to-build boxed aluminum railing program. The new line, called Ultra Max™ has met stringent third party audit and testing requirements.

Ultra Aluminum reports that their new kit railing systems comply with the standards established by Intertek. The complete Ultra Max line of low-maintenance aluminum railing is officially listed in report number CCRR-0223. The railing is made from Ultrum™ 2X-TRUSION 6005-T5 alloy which tests at a minimum ultimate strength of 35,000 psi.

"Receiving Code Approval puts us in a small group of kit railing manufacturers that can meet AC-273 Standards in multi-family and commercial applications," said Edward Rys Jr., general manager of LBM/Railing Division. "The railing program is also introducing our new two-piece bracket system and XACTemplate™. This makes it easy to consistently locate and fasten brackets on the posts, and drop the railing in."

Ultra Max offers level and stair rail kits, as well as 6" and 8" column wrap and newel post kits, gates, arbors, Eclipse• privacy panels and Juliette balcony kits. They all work together to form a custom look and feel that will work well with most home, light commercial and landscaping designs.

All fence and railing products are 100% made and sourced in the USA and carry a lifetime warranty. More information is available from www.ultrafence.com.
