Installation Guide

BEFORE YOU BEGIN:
IMPORTANT PRODUCT SAFETY AND PRE-INSTALLATION INFORMATION
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY LEAD TO AN UNSAFELY INSTALLED PRODUCT AND WILL ADVERSELY AFFECT
COVERAGE UNDER THE LIMITED WARRANTY. The following installation instructions are provided to guide you through the installation
process of the Marquee
™
Railing System. TAMKO

Building Products, Inc. shall not be held liable for improper or unsafe installations. TAMKO
recommends that all designs be reviewed by a licensed architect, engineer or local building official before installation to ensure that they are safe
and in compliance with local building code requirements.
Fire and other sources of excessive heat may damage Marquee Railing. Damage caused by fire or other heat sources may include melting,
sagging, warping, discoloration, charring, increased expansion or contraction, accelerated weathering, etc.
Low-E glass is one potential source of excessive heat because it is designed to reflect more sunlight than traditional glass. This enhanced
reflectivity combined with any irregularity in the window glass can concentrate sunlight onto the railing and cause heat build-up on areas of the
railing surface. When this occurs, damage of Marquee Railing is possible. Contact the manufacturer of the product which contains the Low-E
glass for suggestions to reduce or eliminate the reflected heat.
A railing system which has been damaged or exhibits signs of excessive wear or weakness must be replaced or repaired immedi-
ately as it may be a safety hazard.
Composite railing will retain heat when exposed to direct or reflected sunlight. Exercise caution around these heated surfaces.
