Minneapolis, MN July 16, 2024– Effective immediately, Parksite Inc. will expand its offering of IG Railing®, the #1 brand of frameless glass railing, to its territories of Ohio and Florida. IG Railing is built on a base mount, called a spigot, that houses a Wi-Fi-controlled LED light system and holds 1/2” tempered low-iron glass. By day, IG Railing eliminates sight obstructions associated with traditional post-and-rail systems. By night, the low-iron glass and LED lighting allow illumination to flow throughout the panels in a vibrant yet tasteful fashion. Glass connector accessories, top rail, and spigots are available in matte black or polished finishes.

“We launched IG Railing in our Northeast territories just four months ago, and the excitement and acceptance of this innovative solution are very positive. We are hearing repeatedly of pent-up demand for our customers to provide a viable glass solution from their trusted partners at Parksite,” shared Bob Higgins, Senior Vice President of Sales at Parksite.

“The Parksite team has had great energy in our first several months of rollout in the northeast, and further expansion is a testament to the category shift we have been building,” said Mike Kunard, co-owner of IG Railing.

Parksite firmly believes its competitive advantage is directly attributable to its employees. According to CEO, Ron Heitzman, “Every one of our associates is dedicated to contributing to the success of both our customers and our suppliers. The dedication and excitement that is generated when everyone is an owner is extraordinary.”
