New Stair System

Demonstrator: We're talking about our new stair system and a stronger way to put 'em together, as far as a traditional way. On our fittings, they come apart this way where you can go left or right hand with one fitting. Everything's free cut for you. After you make the cut, the tops pop off. This allows you to lag into a fitting for much stronger strength with the newel like this. You can drop your railing straight down and attach it much easier coming in from here. On your rake rail, you can also attach that easier by lagging in, this is all pre-machined for you, and you can lag in this way using a ratchet instead of the old traditional rail bolt system. So we're building a much better system to work with, much stronger for the consumer, much easier for the installer. And then all you do is glue the tops back on, the upeasing piece slides out like this. This is where they cut for their run and rise and on here all you do is hook this on for your rail bolt connection and tighten it up from there. So it's a lot easier to work with. On our balusters, we have removable pins that allow you to take this pin out of the baluster. These holes are pre-drilled. What we prefer, is that you take these pins out, make a cut and use a dowel fast screw, which is much stronger than the glue portion that most people use on the pins. This will allow you to take the baluster and screw it in to the whole system. You don't need glue and it's a lot, lot stronger for the consumer, lot less liability and it's very tight.
