** IG Railing® adds Wholesale Distributor in the Midwest **~

Effective immediately, K+R Building Materials will distribute IG Railing®, the #1 brand of frameless glass railing, from its five Midwest locations. IG Railing is built on a patented base, or spigot that houses a Wi-Fi controlled LED light, holding 1/2” (12mm) tempered low iron glass. By day, IG Railing eliminates sight obstructions of traditional post and framed rail systems. By night, the low-iron glass + LED lighting allows illumination to flow throughout the panels. Glass connector accessories, top rail, and spigots are available in matte black or polished finishes.

“Building out a national footprint to make our products easy to buy continues to be our priority, followed by providing exceptional service and support to our customer base,” said Mike Kunard, co-owner of IG Railing. “The hard-working team at K+R is a great asset that will bring immediate results to markets that have demonstrated demand for our glass railing system.”

“Being specialized in outdoor living products, we have been looking for a solution that fits in our supply chain because there is a wealth of demand for view-capturing vs. view-obstructing railing systems,” shared K+R President, Jeff Johnson. “We are excited to leverage our sales expertise and distribution centers throughout the Midwest with the product offering from IG Railing®, which complements our current product offering to our lumber dealer customers.”
