AVERVE RAILSET
The Railset Web provides the quality assurance and specifying convenience of a pre-engineered system.
Railset Benefits:
The Railset Utility Web is a patented aluminum hardware system used as a non load bearing armature for panel and fixture installations. The utility web can be pre-assembled in sections that correspond to each projects framing layout.
Eliminates Wall Prep
Mount the web directly to the wall- The Railset Web bridges all irregularities in the sub wall. Railset’s wall mounts slide along the rail to the stud – attach every 32” on center. Shim only at the wall mounts.
- The Key Frame, assembled in the shop, identifies all horizontal panel joints. Once attached, the Key Frame sets the square and level for all rails on the elevation.
Supports Unit Construction
Remodel a space in hours—not days.- Assemble the framing for a light cove or drop ceiling in the shop, then plug in at the jobsite.
- Create a cavity for new utilities
- Fur out an existing wall to eliminate unwanted returns
- Create a cavity for back-lighted graphics
- Create a cavity to flush mount video monitors and directories with adjacent decorative panels.
Clad with Different Materials and Shapes
Radius or flat, rough or smooth, they can all flush onto the same plane- Back-lighted graphics, metal and wood grain laminates flush perfectly on the same wall

Ceiling Cladding
Mount the RailSet web directly to the CeilingLike The RailSet web on the wall, the RailSet web on the ceiling creates a perfectly level and square mounting surface in front of the hard lid of the ceiling. Rails are attached with Wall Mounts that slide on the rail to the ceiling joist. Panels are attached with cleats and locked in place with a screw in the edge screw boss.

Finishing
- Finish the corner with a decorative insert or simply miter the panel edges.
- Cladding is attached with Clips, Cleats or Friction Fit appliances, depending on the panel layout.

Partition Frames
The Railset Partition for privacy partitions, facings on nurse stations and reception desksA simple 4-sided frame can be assembled in the shop, delivered to the jobsite in one piece, mounted to the floor and leveled. Panels can be attached with cleats, clips, or a friction fit attachment for demountable panels. The interior of the frame is completely open and accessible to run utilities wires and cables. The seismic post fits neatly in the Railset standard 8’ x 4” partition.
