Advances in materials have resulted in creative new ways to incorporate natural elements within interior spaces.
One such material is resin panel railing infill from Feeney. Embedded with organic materials like grasses, leaves and branches, the innovative infill makes it possible to create distinctive stairways and landings that not only complement other interior elements but also tie-in with outdoor areas such as decks and patios to achieve a seamless transition between these environments.
Designers and architects can choose from among nine distinctive options – ranging from bamboo to rice grass – to create one-of-kind railing panels that express their unique design vision. The infill is installed in DesignRail® aluminum railing frames, which are available in Feeney’s high performance and long lasting ColorEasy™ powder coat program – providing almost endless design flexibility.
Available for 36- and 42-inch railing heights, the resin infills can be mixed-and-matched with a range of other Feeney infill options, including cable railing, glass, vertical cable, stainless steel mesh, laser-cut aluminum panels and aluminum pickets – and are compatible with all DesignRail® top rail styles.
The infill panels fit easily into the pre-engineered DesignRail® frame and are surrounded on all four sides with a low-profile aluminum channel, providing an clean-lined appearance with minimal transition from panel to frame.
The Design Process
Feeney's resin panel infill utilizes Varia, an award-winning product from 3form. Varia is made from a specially-formulated co-polyester resin that combines performance with environmental responsibility.
A sandstone finish on both sides of the resin panels provides a durable finish with subtle texture. In addition, the lightweight, 1/4" thick resin panels are half the density of glass, enabling easier installation and reducing structural support requirements. Excellent chemical resistance reduces potential harm incurred by cleaning agents.
Sustainability
Feeney's resin panel infill from 3form incorporates 40% pre-consumer recycled content without compromising aesthetics or overall physical properties, is compatible with one of the largest post-consumer recycle streams, and is GREENGUARD® Indoor Air Quality Certified. It is also Underwriters Laboratories registered.
