Frameless Glazing Channel Balustrade Installation

The Glazing Channel Range of Balustrade can be installed on various different surfaces, with differing fixing challenges. With 4 designs available, you will find a channel profile to meet your fitting needs.

Elite Balustrade Systems provide full fitting instructions for each design, with bespoke instructions guiding you through your individual design plan. The success to any install is preparation. The strength of a balustrade is only as good a what your fitting to, and a strong structural sound substrate is key to a successful install. If work is required to strengthen the substrate, make sure this is carried out prior to starting your install. Suitable substrates include: concrete, masonry, steel, structural timber, blockwork. If the substrate moves prior to install, don’t install the balustrade until remedial work is undertaken.

Layout plans provided prior to manufacturer can be used to help you mark-out and prepare the area that will be taking the balustrade fittings. On some surfaces and designs, fittings can be pre-installed in line with the fitting guidelines. Only use fittings designed to work in the material they are designed for. This may vary from chemical fixings, threaded bar and bolts, or expandable bolts. Your local hardware store will advise the best solutions for your needs.

The key to a successful install is planning. Seek advice when unsure. Use the right tools for the job. Buy new drill bits, screw heads and socket set to enable a quality install. By investing in the right tools, you assure that your balustrade purchase is a good investment that will last for years.
