Choose Black or Silver. Each hinge measures 4″ × 4″ with 5/8″ radius corners and a 0.10″ leaf thickness. Both variations include two hinges, 20 matching mounting screws, and the adjustment hardware shown in the gallery.
Questions & Answers
Find clear answers about Wall Topper sizing, 6-foot spans, included components, base-plate installation, concealed fasteners, style differences, finishes, maintenance and field fitting.
Sizing & Planning
What span is the aluminum Wall Topper designed for?
Each Wall Topper section is designed around a nominal 6-foot span between posts. The supplied horizontal slats are 6 feet long. Verify the actual field measurement before cutting, and plan one post per span plus one terminal post at the end of the run.
Which Wall Topper heights are available?
All five Wall Topper styles are offered in seven nominal heights: 1 foot, 1 foot 6 inches, 2 feet, 2 feet 6 inches, 3 feet, 3 feet 6 inches, and 4 feet. Select the height that fits the project, then review the exact style-specific material schedule shown on the product page.
How do I plan a multi-span Wall Topper run?
Divide the finished run into nominal 6-foot sections. Use one post for each span and add one terminal post at the end of the run. Confirm corners, end conditions, wall steps, field cuts, post locations, and local requirements before ordering.
How do I measure an existing wall for a Wall Topper?
Measure the total finished run, each individual wall section, corners, steps, end conditions, and the usable mounting surface. Mark proposed post locations and check for caps, slopes, drains, utilities, or other obstructions. Use actual field measurements—not only nominal wall dimensions—before ordering or cutting.
Can the 6-foot Wall Topper slats be cut for a shorter span?
Yes. The aluminum slats are supplied in 6-foot lengths and may be field cut to fit a shorter verified opening. Use suitable cutting equipment, keep cuts square, remove burrs, protect the finish, and confirm the finished post-to-post dimension before cutting.
Kit Contents & Style Options
What is included with an Alumission Wall Topper kit?
The selected kit includes Aluminum Post 2 Channels, two channel covers and one cap per post, an 18-inch zinc-coated steel post base and matching aluminum base cover per post, 6-foot aluminum slats in the selected style and height, the required pattern spacers where applicable, and stainless steel self-drilling assembly screws. Wall anchors are not included because the correct fastener depends on the wall material and project conditions.
How do Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, and San Francisco styles differ?
Dallas combines wide 5.5-inch slats with a four-slat 1-inch accent band. Los Angeles uses evenly spaced 5.5-inch slats. Miami centers a four-slat 1-inch accent band between wide slats. New York is a tight-stacked full-privacy design with size-specific finishing slats. San Francisco uses closely spaced 1-inch slats for a linear look. See the exact material schedule and proportional drawings on each style page.
Is the Wood finish real wood?
No. The Wood option is a wood-look finish applied to aluminum slats, not natural timber. It provides the warmth of a wood appearance while keeping the low-maintenance, noncombustible aluminum construction of the Wall Topper system.
How much privacy does an aluminum Wall Topper add?
Privacy depends on the selected style, height, slat sizes, and spacing. New York is the most closed design, while Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami, and San Francisco create different levels of screening and visibility. Compare the style-specific drawings and material schedule before choosing.
Installation & Mounting
How do the base plate and base cover work?
Each post uses a zinc-coated steel base with a 4-inch by 4-inch plate and an 18-inch stem. The plate is anchored to a structurally suitable wall, the aluminum base cover slides over the plate to conceal the mounting screws or anchors, and the aluminum post slides over the steel stem. Plumb and align every post before installing the slats.
Can the Wall Topper be installed on concrete, masonry, wood, or steel?
Installation may be possible on concrete, masonry, properly reinforced wood, steel, or another structurally suitable wall when the correct substrate-specific anchors are used. Anchors are not included. The installer is responsible for confirming wall condition, edge distances, waterproofing, fastener selection, wind exposure, loads, and code or permit requirements.
Are anchors for the existing wall included?
No. Wall anchors are not included because the correct fastener and embedment depend on the wall material, wall condition, edge distances, loads, and site exposure. Select an anchor system specifically approved for the actual substrate and project conditions.
How do I know whether my wall can support a Wall Topper?
The existing wall and its foundation must be structurally suitable for the planned topper, anchors, height, and site loads. Inspect the wall for cracks, loose caps, deterioration, insufficient thickness, or other damage. When suitability is uncertain, have a qualified contractor or design professional evaluate it before installation.
Care, Ordering & Support
Does the Wall Topper require welding?
No welding is required for the kit assembly. Installation is a mechanical field-fit process that requires accurate measuring, cutting, drilling, leveling, fastening, and anchoring. Channel covers snap into place after assembly to conceal the slat-fastening screws.
Which finishes are available, and how should the Wall Topper be maintained?
Current finish options may include Black, Bronze, White, Dark Grey, Light Gray, and Wood. Availability can change by configuration. Clean powder-coated aluminum with water, mild soap, and a soft cloth; avoid abrasive pads, harsh chemicals, and tools that can scratch the finish.
What should I verify before ordering?
Confirm the total run length, selected style and height, number of 6-foot spans, post and terminal locations, corners or steps, wall construction, anchor plan, finish, field-cut requirements, access, wind exposure, and local rules. Product drawings support selection and installation planning but are not stamped structural or permit drawings.
Can a Wall Topper follow a stepped or sloped wall?
A stepped wall can often be planned as separate level sections with post locations and field cuts coordinated at each change in elevation. A continuously sloped wall requires a custom layout. Measure every section carefully and confirm the proposed arrangement with Alumission before ordering.
Do I need a permit or HOA approval for a Wall Topper?
Requirements vary by location and property. Check local height limits, setbacks, wind and structural rules, permit requirements, easements, and any HOA or architectural-review standards before ordering or installing. The product drawings are planning references, not stamped permit or structural drawings.
