FAQ

Base shoe questions

Answers to what installers ask most before ordering.

What glass does the 4″ base shoe take?

The 4″ Top Mount Railing Base Shoe takes 12–14 mm tempered glass.

Can I fix the base shoe to wood framing and concrete?

Yes. We stock hex head and Allen head wood bolts, 1/2″ stainless concrete wedge anchors (which need 15 mm holes) and FMF EZ-Bolts.

How do I finish corners and ends?

Use 90° in-corner and out-corner cladding for mitred corners, and base shoe end caps for the ends. Both are fixed with silicone sealant or cladding tape.

What seals the top of the shoe?

The base shoe gasket seals the top of the pocket once the glass is in. It comes in 10′ lengths.

Are the parts suitable for outdoor use?

Yes. Cladding and end caps are suitable for interior and exterior use: 316 stainless in the brushed finish and 304 stainless in matte black.
