A channel-reducing aluminum post cover for fully framed 1/4″ glass, acrylic, wire mesh, and aluminum sheet systems. Use with the 1″ Aluminum Slat For Glass.
Price range: $16.21 through $25.72
The Aluminum Post Cover For Glass is a channel-reducing profile for Alumission posts and gate frames. It converts the standard 0.827″ channel to a 0.250″ (1/4″) opening for compatible panel material.
Use it with suitable 1/4″ glass, acrylic, wire mesh, aluminum sheet, and other 1/4″ infill materials. The profile creates a clean powder-coated edge at the post or gate-frame channel.
For a complete application, this profile must be paired with the 1″ Aluminum Slat For Glass. The Post Cover For Glass finishes the compatible post or frame channels, while the 1″ Slat For Glass completes the remaining panel edges so the material is fully framed.

Reduce the Post Channel for 1/4″ Infill
The formed profile adapts the wider Alumission channel to a clean 0.250″ interface for suitable panel material.
Glass
Use with suitable 1/4″ glass when the complete panel assembly and installation meet project requirements.
Acrylic and Aluminum
Frames compatible 1/4″ acrylic and aluminum sheet for privacy or decorative infill.
Wire Mesh
Accepts compatible 1/4″ wire-mesh edges when the mesh and support method suit the application.
Works with Posts and Gate Frames
Use the same channel-reducing cover across compatible Alumission fence and swing-gate components.
Post 2 Channels
Adapt one or both compatible channels for a fully framed 1/4″ panel layout.
Post 3 Channel
Use the required channel positions for inline, corner, or multi-direction fence panel layouts.
Side Post
Create a finished 1/4″ panel edge at a compatible end or side-post channel.
Gate Frame
Build compatible framed gate infill with glass, acrylic, mesh, or aluminum sheet.
Pair with the 1″ Slat For Glass
Both profiles are required when the panel needs to be fully framed on every side.
Post and Frame Edges
Use the Post Cover For Glass in the compatible post or gate-frame channels.
Complementary Panel Edges
Use the 1″ Aluminum Slat For Glass at the remaining panel edges required by the design.
Measure Before Cutting
Confirm the actual panel thickness, finished opening, clearances, and cut lengths before fabrication.
Plan the Complete Assembly
Select suitable gaskets, setting blocks, sealants, supports, and hardware for the chosen panel material.
Included: One Aluminum Post Cover For Glass in the selected length and powder-coated finish.
Sold separately: The required 1″ Aluminum Slat For Glass, posts or gate frame, panel material, gaskets, setting blocks, sealants, caps, fasteners, and installation hardware.
Phone-order lengths: 10′ lengths are available by phone order only. They cannot be purchased online, and shipping charges may apply.

Aluminum Post Cover For Glass Questions & Answers
Answers about 1/4″ panel materials, compatible Alumission posts and gate frames, the required 1″ Slat For Glass, installation planning, dimensions, ordering, and care.
Purpose & System Compatibility
What is the Aluminum Post Cover For Glass used for?
It adapts a compatible Alumission post or gate-frame channel for suitable 1/4″ panel material and creates a clean, powder-coated panel edge.
How much does it reduce the channel?
It reduces the standard 0.827″ compatible channel to a 0.250″ (1/4″) panel opening.
Which Alumission profiles can use it?
It is designed for compatible channels on the Aluminum Gate Frame, Aluminum Side Post, Aluminum Post 2 Channels, and Aluminum Post 3 Channel.
Can it be used with the Aluminum Gate Frame?
Yes. It can adapt compatible gate-frame channels for a fully framed 1/4″ panel application.
Is it the same as the 1″ Aluminum Slat For Glass?
No. The profiles perform complementary jobs. This cover adapts the post or gate-frame channel, while the 1″ Slat For Glass completes the other panel edges.
Panel Materials & Full Framing
What panel materials can be used?
Suitable 1/4″ glass, acrylic, wire mesh, aluminum sheet, and other compatible 1/4″ infill material can be used.
Does the panel have to be exactly 1/4″ thick?
The channel is designed around a 0.250″ nominal opening. Verify the actual panel thickness, edge condition, gaskets, and required clearance before ordering or cutting.
Must I also use the 1″ Aluminum Slat For Glass?
Yes. The two profiles are required together when the glass, acrylic, mesh, or aluminum panel needs to be fully framed on all sides.
Can I use this post cover by itself for a complete panel?
No. It handles the compatible post or gate-frame channel. Use the 1″ Aluminum Slat For Glass to complete the remaining panel edges required by the design.
Can it be used with wire mesh?
Yes, when the wire-mesh edge fits the nominal 1/4″ interface and the complete support and fastening method suits the project.
Can it be used with aluminum sheet?
Yes. Compatible 1/4″ aluminum sheet can be fully framed using this profile together with the 1″ Aluminum Slat For Glass.
Installation & Project Planning
Where is the Post Cover For Glass installed?
Install it in the compatible channels of the selected post or gate frame at the panel edges defined by the layout.
How do I make the panel fully framed?
Use this profile at the compatible post or frame channels and use the 1″ Aluminum Slat For Glass at the complementary panel edges.
Can the profile be cut to size?
Yes. Cut it with suitable aluminum-cutting equipment and a fine-tooth blade, then deburr every cut edge before assembly.
How should I measure the panel?
Measure the finished framed opening and account for the actual panel thickness, profile engagement, gaskets, setting blocks, sealants, and required movement clearance.
Are gaskets and installation hardware included?
No. Gaskets, setting blocks, sealants, fasteners, supports, and other installation hardware are selected separately for the panel material and project.
Should a glass application be professionally planned?
Yes. Confirm glass type, thickness, edge treatment, support, loading, and local code requirements with a qualified glass supplier or installer.
Dimensions, Ordering & Care
What are the main profile dimensions?
The drawing shows 0.984″ overall width, 0.547″ overall height, a 0.803″ inside span, a 0.276″ upper opening, a 0.250″ center opening, a 0.331″ side step, and a 0.047″ wall thickness.
What material is the profile made from?
It is extruded from 6063-T6 aluminum and finished with a durable exterior powder coating.
What is included with the product?
The product includes one Aluminum Post Cover For Glass in the selected length and finish. The required 1″ Slat For Glass and all other system components are sold separately.
What lengths are available online?
The online length options are 6′ and 8′.
Is a 10′ length available?
Yes. The 10′ length is available by phone order only. It cannot be purchased online, and shipping charges may apply.
What colors are available?
Available finishes are Black, Bronze, White, Dark Grey, and Light Gray.
Will a cut edge rust?
No. Aluminum does not rust like steel.
How should the powder-coated finish be cleaned?
Clean with mild soap and water using a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive pads, harsh chemicals, and strong solvents.
