FAQs
What is a slot tube system for glass railings?
A slot tube system is a specialized railing framework featuring pre-cut channels designed to securely hold glass panels without additional brackets or clamps. This innovative design allows glass to slide directly into precision-engineered slots within the tubing, creating a sleek, frameless appearance while maintaining structural integrity and safety compliance for both residential and commercial applications.
What thickness of glass works with slot tube systems?
Most slot tube systems accommodate glass panels ranging from 3/8 inch to 1/2 inch thickness, with some models accepting up to 5/8 inch tempered glass. Unikim’s Premium Slot Tube System features adjustable channel widths and rubber gaskets to ensure perfect fit and weather sealing. Always verify glass thickness compatibility and consult local building codes before purchase.
Can slot tube systems be used outdoors?
Absolutely. High-quality slot tube systems manufactured from stainless steel or anodized aluminum are specifically engineered for exterior applications. Unikim’s marine-grade materials resist corrosion from rain, snow, salt air, and UV exposure.
What’s the difference between slotted aluminum and stainless steel tubing?
Aluminum tubing offers lightweight handling, natural corrosion resistance, and cost-effectiveness, making it ideal for covered or freshwater environments. Stainless steel provides superior strength, enhanced durability in harsh conditions, and premium aesthetics, perfect for coastal installations or high-traffic commercial spaces. Both materials available through Unikim meet structural requirements, so choice depends on budget, location, and design preferences.
What materials are used in Unikim’s Premium Slot Tube System?
Unikim manufactures slot tube systems from premium-grade stainless steel (304 for standard applications, 316 for marine environments) and high-strength aluminum alloys. Both materials undergo specialized treatments for enhanced corrosion resistance and durability.
