TRANSFORM TOP RAIL STIFFENER

Stiffener for Transform Top Rail by RDI

What It Is

The Transform Top Rail Stiffener is an accessory for the RDI Transform Composite Top Rails and the larger RDI Transform Composite Railing system. It’s designed to reinforce the top rail section of the railing — especially important when you have long spans or heavy loads that could cause the rail to sag or bend over time.

Key Features

• Adds Strength & Support: Inserts into the Transform top rail to stiffen it and help keep it straight under load.
• Made of Aluminum: Durable and corrosion-resistant material that enhances the structural integrity of the rail.
• Pre-cut Length: Designed to fit specific top rail profiles like Emerge and Aspire/Presence (available as 96″ stiffener in boxes of four).
• Easy Installation: Slides into the inside of the top rail and is secured with screws; no special tools needed.
• Used With Level or Stair Rails: Works with both horizontal and angled top rail installations.

Why You Might Use It

Adding a stiffener is often recommended when:

• You have longer rail sections that might flex in strong winds or under weight.
• You want to meet code requirements or manufacturer recommendations for certain heights or spans (e.g., commercial or 42″ rail heights).
• You’re installing cable or heavy infill where the top rail experiences greater tension.

In short, it’s a practical reinforcement accessory that enhances the performance and durability of your Transform railing system, especially in demanding applications.
