Advance Flooring Products (AFP) presents the Guardian Clip™, a hallmark of innovation that has significantly advanced the decking and handrail industry. This patented rail clip empowers builders to mount handrails directly atop decks, skillfully addressing and resolving age-old issues of rail deflection, waterproofing breaches, and the cumbersome upkeep traditionally associated with rail installations. With the Guardian Clip™, AFP redefines the installation process, eliminating historical pain points that often culminated in warranty voids and structural failures​​.

At AFP, we recognize the necessity of strength and longevity in our products. Our Guardian Clip™ has been rigorously tested, demonstrating an ability to support weights of up to 1000 lbs—over three times the industry standard. This exceptional capacity is credited to our proprietary vertical bracing technique, a stark departure from the conventional surface bracing. The Guardian Clip's™ design not only provides formidable strength but also fortifies the waterproofing of the area, ensuring that handrails are not just robust and durable but persistently secure and reliable​​.
