Mini Post Balustrade Frameless Glass Balcony Systems
Mini Post frameless glass balustrade kits can be used in a variety of ways.
Being extremely versatile, mini-post glass balustrade kits are ideal for glass balconies, patio areas, terraces and can be an effective safety handrail system. There are a number of options when choosing the mini-post balustrade system including base, core, edge, or side mounted designs. The sleek bottom mini stainless steel posts are designed to accommodate glass thicknesses from 10mm to 17.5mm. To achieve a more bespoke design, we have a choice of glass coloured tints available to act as a privacy screen.
These designs are tested to surpass the requirements for UDL loadings meeting domestic requirements of line loads of 0.74kN. Ideal for use on domestic projects and areas of low pedestrian traffic. The high strength comes from the use of 2205 Duplex stainless steel. This makes the component very strong and highly resistant to corrosion even in extreme marine environments.
The Tilt-Lock design is an ingenious way making the install of the system as simple as possible. With a simple twist of an allen key on the body of the post, the glass self-levels and this easy adjustment saves a lot of time and hassle during installations.
We also provide a number of railing options making this a truly customisable solutions with lots of glass and railing balustrade variations. All design considerations depend on your requirements matching your needs with building safety and regulations considered.
