Frameless Balustrade Channel
Technical Considerations
It is recommended that a level rm surface to be provided for xing of the channel Do not x channel to compressible deck surfaces It is recommended that a suitably qualied engineer is consulted to check on all installations. Fixing to structure should be a minimum of M10 x 100 stainless steel xing. Please consult an engineer to determine what xings are required based on type of structure the channel will be attached to.
Sizes & Finishes

Available in 5.85 & 2.925 metre lengths Mill nish or silver pearl Can be cut to size and powdercoated to colour of your choice
Important
Due to the lime content of all cementatious non shrink grout, please note the following: 1. The FBC10 balustrade channel should not be used in either anodized or mill nish. 2. Powder coating of channel must include both the inside and outside of the product. 3. Grout must be carefully mixed in accordance with the manufacturers instructions as given on the bag. Wrongly mixed grout will increase the likelihood of corrosion of the channel.

FBC10 Balustrade Channel Test Results

Pool Fences
System can be used in applications where the wind load is no greater than .58 KPa. This is based on a total system height of 1200mm including the channel (glass extends 1105mm from the top of the channel).
Balustrades
Residential (including balconies)

10mm Toughened can be used to a maximum height of 550mm in applications where the wind load does not exceed 2.5 KPa. 12mm Toughened can be used to a maximum height of 740mm in applications where the wind load does not exceed 1.9 KPa. In applications requiring 1000mm high balustrade, 15mm Toughened is to be used, but only to a maximum wind load of 1.37 KPa wind load.
Note 1:
Panels must be greater than 1000mm wide.
Note 2:
The system cannot be used in applications where the area can be dened as one where people can congregate.
Note 1:
The system is not recommended for use in any balustrade installations where fall on the other side is greater than 1 metre.
Balustrades
Residential (excluding balconies)

10mm Toughened can be used to a maximum height of 620mm in applications, where the wind load does not exceed 1.8 KPa. 12mm Toughened can be used to a maximum height of 840mm in applications where the wind load does not exceed 1.37 KPa. In applications requiring 1000mm high balustrade, 15mm Toughened is to be used, but only to a maximum wind load of 1.12 KPa wind load.
Note 2:
The above results have been generated by ARUP Facade Engineering. Physical testing has also been conducted by Compusoft Engineering in New Zealand. The results of both these are being collated in conjunction with the proposed changes listed in the latest draft of revisions for AS1288.

FBC20 (Driglaze)
Driglaze Balustrade Channel
Driglaze is the revolutionary new method for supporting 10, 12 and 15mm toughened glass for balustrades. Driglaze eliminates the need for any grouting and therefore installation of balustrading is faster and cleaner than ever before. Driglaze offers the benet of adjustment up to 15mm vertically and angle adjustment of +/- 3. Installation is also made easy by use of the coverplate simply being clipped on from the interior side. This will eliminate the requirement for scaffolding on certain sites and provide increased ease of installation. Channel is predrilled at 400mm centres for ease of installation. This product not only boasts engineering function but also has clean lines to suit any style. Available in Silver Pearl marine grade powdercoated or mill nish, the product will suit all environments.
Product Specications

FBC20 Installation
Assembly Instructions
1 Cut the channel to size and place in position as required. Drill concrete slab at specied centres and install threaded studs using Chemset in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. M12 threaded stud to be drilled minimum 90mm into concrete when using Chemset (follow manufacturers instructions). This is a recommendation only. Please consult an engineer to determine most suitable xing method. Insert Pivot Nuts into the channel prior to securing the channel to the slab. Secure the channel to the concrete slab using M12 nuts and washers to a maximum height of 24mm above the substrate level. This is a recommendation only. Please consult an engineer to determine most suitable xing method. Insert the weatherstrip into the base channel. Place setting blocks in the base channel to support the glass while the clamps are placed on the glass. Fix the clamping assembly and adjusting screws around the glass and tighten to support the glass before nal adjustments are made. 8 Ensure that the two sections of the clamping assembly are assembled as per the diagram; the external section will hold the cover plate in place. Place the glass with the clamping assemblies attached in place into the base section and line up the pivot nuts to go through the xing kits. Tighten the nuts loosely onto the pivot nuts to hold the glass in place. Adjust the vertical height of the glass panels by moving the glass up and down as required with packers under the glass. Tighten the clamp nut at both ends of the glass panel, just enough to hold glass in place. Tighten the remaining clamps, checking for correct vertical and horizontal alignment and tighten all nuts. Adjust the adjusting screws evenly around the glass panel and between ends of the glass panel, just enough to hold glass in place. Fit the coverplate and end caps as required, placing the weatherstrip on the coverplate rst.
