The Two Frameless Systems
Channel-Fixed System
A channel-fixed system supports the glass along its base edge. Channel material, retention method and fixings depend on the assessed design and manufacturer data.
A channel-fixed system may suit an internal staircase where suitable continuous support and design evidence are available. See staircase installations for related information.
Spigot-Mounted System
A spigot-mounted design uses individual point fixings in the deck or floor. Its suitability for curved runs, raking stairs or other complex layouts depends on the support, geometry and calculations.
Spigot-mounted systems can be assessed for complex layouts where suitable point fixings are available. See outdoor balcony installations for related information.
Glass Specification
Glass composition and thickness depend on the panel dimensions, base support, loads, handrail and design evidence. The written specification should also explain the proposed post-breakage behaviour.
Spigot Glass Options
The installer selects the glass and spigot arrangement for the assessed dimensions, loads, support and manufacturer data.
