Nov 01, 2023

MINNEAPOLIS — Spartan Railing has announced a partnership with Building Material Distributors, Inc to distribute its railing product to dealers throughout California and select counties in Nevada.

Spartan is a patented frameless glass railing system with integrated LED lighting is comprised of mounting hardware (spigots), low-iron glass, and LED globes, and designed to provide an architecturally appealing railing system. Spartan's patented spigot and railing system has completed testing requirements and manufacturing quality control to earn ICC ESR-4816 from ICC-ES.

"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," said Chris Garlieb, BMD senior director of sales. "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. Combining that ingenuity with beautiful aesthetics and ease of installation, we believe BMD and Spartan provides an unbeatable combination."

"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 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. This is exactly what Spartan Railing delivers."
