Pure View Nylon Mounting Shoes ~ Level or Stair Applications by Fortress
What They Are
These are nylon mounting shoes designed to hold and secure Fortress Pure View glass balusters into your railing system. They act as the interface between the glass and your top and bottom rail surfaces in a deck or porch railing installation.
Key Features
Purpose
- The nylon shoes attach to the rail surfaces with included screws.
- Once mounted, the glass baluster slides down into the shoe and is held securely in place.
- This provides a clean, finished appearance and keeps the glass stable in its mounting.
What’s Included
-
Sold in a pack of 10 shoes — enough to install about 5 glass balusters (2 shoes per baluster).
Compatibility
-
Made for Fortress Pure View Glass Balusters, which are 5/16″ thick tempered glass balusters with bevel edges and a ~3.75″ width.
-
Designed for use on wood or composite deck rails where the shoes mount directly.
Straight & Stair Options
- Straight mounting shoes: for level runs.
- Stair mounting shoes: sized for stair angles (usually compatible with glass balusters cut and designed for 20°–35° slopes).
Installation
- Mount the shoes to the top and bottom rails at your baluster spacing layout.
- Slide the glass baluster into the paired shoes so it sits vertical and secure.
- Ensure spacing meets your local building code (typically ≤ 4″ open space between infill).
