Balconette has launched the brand new SG12 Frameless Glass Balustrade system. The SG12 system allows for 100% uninterrupted views, what’s more there are no limitations of lengths or sizes and requires no posts at all. The structural glass can either be fitted below finished floor level and give a completely seamless effect or if you have finished your floor levels it can be fitted above and covered with our discreet and stylish looking shoe covers. The system uses 21.5 laminated toughened glass and can be supplied with or without a sleek elliptical handrail. If fitted above floor level, our shoe covers
and handrails can be supplied in Royal Chrome anodised aluminium or Silver anodised aluminium.

I am a structural engineer and am often required to justify balcony balustrading for horizontal loadings.
I assume the glazing itself can withstand the bending moments and deflections from the statutory loadings but what are the fixing details at the base as the structure to which the glazing is attached also has to resist these loadings. Have you any standard calculations for the system?

Its a bit of channel with thinner channel uprights? Hardly exciting, or is it just a really bad illustration?
