FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Batavia IL, 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 of traditional post and rail systems. By night, the low iron glass + LED lighting allows 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 has been very high. We are excited to partner with IG, and to share their railing offering with Parksite customers” stated 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 their competitive advantage is directly attributable to their 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.”
