Spartan Railing entered a partnership with Building Materials Distributors (BMD). Under the partnership, BMD will distribute Spartan Railing to dealers in California and portions of Nevada.
“We have been working with the Spartan Railing team extensively over the past few months to make this one of our most strategic product launches because we see a great market share to gain in this space,” Chris Garlieb, BMD senior director sales, said in a news release. “Spartan Railing has engineered how to take the risk out of glass delivery and estimating for our LBM customers – a challenge that for decades has been handed off to specialty shops, but not any longer.”
Spartan Railing is a patented, frameless glass railing system with integrated LED lighting. The product features mounting hardware (spigots), low-iron glass, and LED globes, providing an architecturally-appealing, easy-install railing system, according to the manufacturer. The spigot and railing system has completed testing requirements and manufacturing quality control to earn ICC ESR-4816 from ICC-ES.
“BMD is the perfect partner for Spartan Railing as their product mix, customer base, and employee-owned culture are exactly what we were looking for”, said Mike Kunard, co-owner at Spartan Railing and parent company Illuminated Balustrade Australia. “California is an exceptional market for us as we build our distribution footprint across the country with high demand nationally for an “unobstructed view” railing system that complements every architectural style.”
