Frequently Asked Questions

Is the tempered glass suitable for coastal areas with salt spray?

Yes. The 10mm tempered glass is manufactured to EN 12150 with a heat-soak test to reduce nickel sulfide inclusion risk. The 304 stainless steel posts and handrails have a brushed satin finish that provides corrosion resistance in coastal environments, though regular rinsing with fresh water is recommended for long-term appearance.

Can the stained finish be matched to a specific RAL color?

Yes. For orders of 50 linear meters or more, we offer custom RAL color matching for the stained finish. The standard stained options are black (RAL 9005) and bronze (RAL 8004). Custom colors require a 15-day lead time for color sample approval before production.

What is the maximum glass panel height for balcony use?

The standard maximum glass panel height is 1200mm, with a typical infill height of 1000mm above finished floor level. For taller applications (up to 1500mm), 12mm tempered glass is required to maintain the 0.74 kN/m load rating. Consult project-specific building codes for minimum height requirements.

What is the minimum order quantity for this railing system?

Standard minimum order is 20 linear meters (approximately 10–14 panels depending on spacing). For smaller projects, we can accommodate orders as low as 10 linear meters with a 20% surcharge on unit pricing. All orders include stainless steel posts, handrails, clamps, and tempered glass panels.

How are the glass panels packaged to prevent breakage during shipping?

Each tempered glass panel is individually wrapped in polyethylene foam, then placed in a plywood crate with wooden spacers between panels. The crates are banded with steel straps and marked with handling instructions. Stainless steel components are wrapped in bubble film and packed in cardboard cartons. Shipping insurance covering glass breakage is included in FOB quotes.
