The demand for full-glass railings, meaning glass construction modules which are clamped in a linear way at the lower edge, is on the rise for use at terrace, platform or balcony edges. At this intersection of horizontal and vertical surfaces, a technically refined full-glass railing system is needed to meet all requirements.
1.) Non-penetrative roof waterproofing with excellent heat insulation properties
2.) A construction with various possible applications, regardless of the specific building situation
3.) Introduction of excessive forces (line loads and wind loads)
4.) High demands towards safety (falling hazard)
5.) Vertical position continuously adjustable
The solution is relatively simple. A technical design registered for patent approval essentially creates a situation identical to the process of renowned, conventional membrane roof erection. Membrane packing is being executed up to the highest point on the interior and exterior in the familiar way. The profiles are being allowed to expand and therefore, all packing problems can be rectified in the familiar way. A thermal break and very low interference in the insulation allow for a very massive connection to the load bearing structure in a variable execution. Adjustment pieces can be installed at any place (according to structural engineering) on the railing retainer profile which is already being glued with glass in the workshop. This means that no further machining is necessary on the profiles and the full-glass railing can be laid out, planned and executed for almost any situation.
