Important Information about the Providence Rail System
The Providence Rail system utilizes pre-marked dimples to assist in locating the balusters for equal spacing.
Dimples are used rather than pre-drilled holes to give you the flexibility to use the pre-marked standard locations or
to determine your own baluster locations. In addition, an Assembly Jig kit is available to assist in locating the
balusters and positioning them properly for attaching the screws.
Please take note that these pre-marked baluster locations are designed for Post Center to Post Center dimensions
of 6’, 8’, & 10’ respectively. If utilizing the pre-marked baluster locations, the maximum rail span will be 4.25” less
than the post center dimension. For rail spans that are in excess of that dimension you will need to establish your
own baluster locations or move up to the next size rail kit to meet spacing code requirements. The quantity of pre-
marked dimples allows for either baluster-at-center or space-at-center layout and does not reflect the quantity of
balusters included in the kit. Note: The space between the end baluster and the newel post cannot exceed 4”.
Dark Paint Caution
If you choose to paint your INTEX Millwork Product, INTEX recommends the use of premium grade latex paints
with solar reflective pigment. Preferably paints designed for use with PVC products. Please contact your local paint
dealer for professional assistance. Due to the inherent expansion and contraction characteristics of PVC, INTEX
PVC millwork products should only be painted colors with an LVR (light reflective value) greater than 55. Use of
darker colors may cause damage due to excessive expansion/contraction, and will void the product warranty.
Cleaning Products for INTEX Millwork Products
Cleaning all INTEX Millwork Products is easy and fast with most major household cleaners. There are many
cleaners on the market and the glass cleaners seem to be the best candidate for keeping the finish looking great.
The cleaning solution should be applied and immediately wiped dry. As with any cleaning material, the cleaning
solution should not be left to stand on the components for an extended period of time.
INTEX recommends the following cleaners:
Windex® 409 Glass and Surface Cleaner®
Spic & Span Cinch® Fantastik All-Purpose®
Fantastik Orange Action® Regency® (Glass and Surface)

Purpose® (2- Butoxyethanol) and Greased Lightning® (glycol ether), citrus cleaners, abrasive cleaners, and
solvents such as acetone, paint remover and lacquer.
