Jakob Webnet Frames combine precision-engineered 316 stainless steel frames with high-strength Webnet wire mesh infill to create robust, made-to-measure panels for indoor and outdoor use. Available in Classic and Inviss frame styles, they are suitable for a broad range of projects, including balustrade infill, guarding, partitions, sky-light openings, bridge safety and heli-pad surrounds.

Manufactured by Jakob Rope Systems in Switzerland and supplied in the UK by MMA Architectural Systems, these framed panels provide a defined perimeter and fixing strategy, helping to simplify detailing and reduce on-site assembly time.

Why specify a framed Webnet panel?

Webnet frames are suitable for a wide range of applications, including both new build and refurbishment projects, indoors or out, including:

  • Balustrading and guarding
  • Partitioning
  • Skylight opening safety (fall prevention)
  • Heli-pad surrounds
  • Glass protection
  • Bridge safety
  • Observation platform safety

For projects where a robust, low-maintenance mesh infill is required, whether driven by durability in harsher environments or by the need for a visually light solution, using a fabricated perimeter frame can also help deliver repeatable modules with consistent edge detailing.

Providing a defined edge to work to on site, made-to-measure frames make installation faster and more straightforward – helping installers to set out fixings accurately, allow for normal tolerances, and form neat connections to the surrounding structure.

Frame options: Classic and Inviss

Inviss Frames
Inviss frames integrate the Webnet into the frame itself to create a clean edge detail. With no wires around the perimeter, Webnet end connections are concealed within the frame. Inviss frames are available in round tube or square/rectangular section.

Classic Frames
Classic frames provide a more traditional framed appearance. The Webnet is sewn around the perimeter and attached to the frame, rather than incorporated into the structure of the frame. Classic frames are available in round tube only.

Key specification options

Tested to EN12600:2002, Webnet Frames can be configured to suit a wide range of design and performance requirements, including:

  • Frame section options: Classic (round tube); Inviss (round tube or square/rectangular)
  • Pre-drilled frames or welded lugs, eyes and bosses
  • Easy-fit fittings and clamps for faster installation
  • Optional powder coating in any RAL colour
  • Choice of rope diameters and mesh apertures to suit requirements

Picture1‘Panorama C-ST®’ is a freestanding balustrade from Dani Alu offering a non-penetrative, aluminium balustrade system suitable for all designs and styles of publicly accessible balcony and roof terraces.

 

 

Making flat roofs an asset

Picture2A communal space on a new-build apartment block; a break-out space for employees on an existing building; rooftop drinks at a coastal retreat – whatever the use, Panorama C-ST is a quick, simple and highly cost-effective solution that allows the realisation of your flat roof as an asset, giving much greater value to the building and occupiers experience.

The system is unique in more ways than one.  Panorama is entirely manufactured from lightweight aluminium components which help minimises the roof load making it the perfect solution for both new build and retro-fit projects.  Furthermore, the use of aluminium allows for a modular approach, making design and installation simple for any project requirement.

Create your own design; choose glass or railing infill and any RAL colour to finish.  Dani Alu (UK) Ltd are here to help along the way with full and immediate support, be it presentations, demonstrations, design and technical assistance and installation support.

Innovative Design

Picture4Looking for a system that will integrate with green roof applications, gravel, deck or slab finishes?  This is no problem for our Panorama system. We have designed the system with versatility in mind

Our patented system firstly utilises a balustrade holder allowing 5 position alignment of the vertical posts, compensating for any unevenness in the roof surface. Stability and safety of the system is provided by base rails with load support plates.  The use of baluster plates, results in the balustrade not requiring any penetration through the roof membrane and creates no sound transmission or thermal bridging through the roof.

Picture3Panorama C-ST can be installed independently of the roofing works, although it is particularly suited to integration with green roof systems and roof terrace finishes. This non-penetrative approach enables Panorama to be simply installed without invalidating any existing roofing warranties.

Balconette 2True advances in balconies and balustrading are rare, so Balconette is very excited to present its unique, breakthrough innovation – the Aerofoil Infinity Screen.

For too long, customers have had to compromise their designs for the sake of privacy and safety. Adding a privacy screen or extra height to regular glass balustrading had meant relinquishing that perfect design.
Balconette 1

But that’s all history now. Balconette’s team of design engineers have worked tirelessly to create a pass through privacy screen that effortlessly complements regular glass balustrading.

 

 

balconette 3Despite its ground-breaking appearance, this unique pass through glass balustrade system works very simply. Instead of being supported by a network of angled rails and posts, it cuts straight through the aerofoil handrail, providing privacy and protection from the elements without compromise of design.
