Help with Guardrails and Railings specifications:

Type

	Your choices are...
	Architectural Railing		Architectural or decorative guardrails and railings are designed to provide support and guidance, while being visually pleasing.
	Balcony Railing		Balcony guardrails and railings are used to prevent personnel from falling off balcony ledges.
	Bridge Railing		Bridge guardrails and railings are used on bridges for pedestrian and vehicle safety.
	Cable Railing		Cable guardrails and railings are composed of horizontal wire cables that are attached to posts to create a railing system.
	Decking Railing		Decking guardrails or railings are used to prevent personnel from falling from decks or porches.
	Guardrail System		Guardrail systems are custom assembled on site to prevent falls and provide guidance to personnel in hazardous areas.
	Handrail		Handrails are designed to guide a person while ascending or descending stairways by allowing support via grasping by the handle.
	Highway Guardrail		Highway guardrails and railings are used to prevent vehicles from going off the road.
	Pipe Railing		Pipe guardrails and railings are made of pipe and can be assembled on site or come pre-fabricated.  The shape of the pipe can be circular, square, rectangular, or triangular.
	Roof Edge Guardrail		Roof edge guardrails and railings are used for roof safety by protecting personnel from falling off the roof.

	Stairway Railing		Stairway guardrails and railings are used to prevent falls and provide guidance when ascending or descending stairways.
	Walkway Railing		Walkway guardrails and railings are used for protecting personnel from falling off elevated walkways, catwalks, and mezzanine walkways.
	Warehouse Railing		Guardrails and railings are used in industrial applications such as warehouses or factories to provide safety to personnel and vehicles like forklifts.
	Warning Line		Warning lines are generally rope or chain lines that notify personnel of dangerous or hazardous areas.
	Other / Specialty		The guardrails and railings are other or specialty types.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
	Portable		Guardrail or railing is easily moved for applications where the environment or need for protection changes.

Material

	Your choices are...
	Aluminum		Aluminum and aluminum alloys are lightweight, non-ferrous metals with good corrosion resistance, ductility, and strength.
	Cast Irons		Cast irons are a large group of ferrous alloys which solidify with a eutectic. They contain high amounts of iron, significant amounts of silicon (about 1-3%), and are considered to be ternary alloys (Fe-C-Si).
	Composite		Composites and composite materials usually consist of a matrix and a dispersed, fibrous, or continuous second phase. There are three basic types of composites and composite materials: polymer matrix composites (PMC), ceramic matrix composites (CMC), and metal matrix composites (MMC).
	Glass		Glass materials have a random, liquid-like (non-crystalline) molecular structure. They are heated to a temperature sufficient to produce a completely fused melt. Raw material for glass includes cullet (crushed, recycled glass), sand, soda ash, limestone, and additives. Glass materials are used in the production of crystallized glass panel and glass mosaic tiles.
	Plastic		Any of numerous organic, synthetic, or processed materials that are mostly thermoplastic or thermosetting polymers of high molecular weight and that can be made into objects, films, or filaments.
	Steel		A commercial iron alloy that contains carbon in any amount up to about 1.7 percent as an essential alloying constituent.  Steel is formable in the annealed or unhardened condition.  Steel can develop high strength and hardness after heat treatment or work hardening.  Steel is distinguished from cast iron by its ductility and lower carbon content.
	Stainless Steel		Stainless steel alloys are austenitic, ferritic, martensitic, precipitation hardened, and duplex metals that are available in a wide variety of grades, shapes, and sizes.
	Wood		Wood and wood products are materials derived from trees and include timber, lumber, veneer, wood pulp, wood flour, pellets and chips.
	Other / Specialty		The material is other / specialty
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
