Alu Sense – Glass railing

Surface layer 20 µm

Our aluminium products are anodised. It's the same principle as on the mast of a sailboat, which is wind and weather resistant.

CE-marked posts

The posts have been tested for top-down and lateral attachment to wooden base, and can withstand loads of 0.5-1.0 kN/m.

8.76 mm laminated glass

Two 4 millimetre glass panes with a plastic film between them. If the glass breaks, the plastic film ensures it stays together as one part. Comes with ground and polished edges.

8.76 mm toughened laminated glass

Same construction as our standard laminated glass, but with two tempered glass panes instead of one. We recommend this glass for environments in which the barrier may be exposed to repeated external stress. Comes with ground and polished edges.

Glass options (colour)

When designing your barrier, you can also choose the type of glass. You can choose between clear glass or colored lamellae in gray or opal (coloured or frosted foil between the glass panes).

Glass strip in aluminium

U-shaped aluminum profile (14x12 mm) was attached on top of the glass with glue. Surface layer 20 µ.

Symmetrical sections

When entering your measurements into our configurator, always enter the outside measurements of the spot in which you wish to place your railing. Our configurator will then make the necessary adjustments. We then adjust the section measurements so that each section on each respective side is the same length. So we adapt your railing to your measurements, not the other way around.

Customisable railing height

In our configurator, you can choose a railing height between 800 mm and 1100 mm from the ground to the top of the railing. The Swedish Housing Agency's standards dictate that if there is a risk of falling from a height of more than 3 metres, then the railings must be 1100 mm tall.

Millimetre perfect

When you enter your measurements, we ask you to do so in millimetres. We create your railing to the millimetre, so that it's a perfect fit for where you want to place it.

Everything is included with your order

The package you receive from us includes everything you need to assemble your barriers. This includes posts, glass and handrails, as well as all screws, drill bits and special tools. All you need is a screwdriver, wrench, ruler and spirit level.

Assembly videos and instructions

Our assembly videos help you by showing specific steps of the installation process. Our assembly tips and videos are adapted to each order. They're not general descriptions, rather, they directly concern your particular order.

Attachment on top

The foot is anchored with 4 screws in the floor.

Screw for wood attachment

If you choose attachment to a wooden substrate, screws are included for this purpose. The screw is made of hardened steel with CorrSeal surface treatment for outdoor environments. The screw is equipped with a milling groove along the stem and one on the tip. This means a very low screw-in torque in harder wooden materials and minimizes cracking.

Screw for concrete attachment

If you choose attachment to a concrete substrate, screws are included for this purpose. The screw is made of hardened steel with Corrseal treatment for outdoor environments - Corrosivity class C4. Approved for basic materials: Cracked concrete - Uncracked concrete - Hole-covered decks. Also suitable for: Solid brick - Hollow brick - Solid mexite brick - Natural stone.

Aluminium parts

Poles or other aluminium parts require occasional maintenance. Should stains appear, a mild detergent, water and a soft cloth are usually sufficient. Do not use products with abrasive, acidic or alkaline properties.

Glass

Use a soft cloth to clean glass surfaces with window or mirror cleaning fluid. For more difficult stains, rubbing alcohol can be used. Afterwards, clean with window and mirror cleaning fluid for a second time. Do not use abrasive agents on glass.

When you're building your railing, the usage class (A+, A, B or C) gives an indication of where it's suitable to use. Classes are based on current building regulations and our own product tests, and take into account your specifications regarding railing height, section width, details, etc. They're our recommendations to help you make the right choice!

Class A+

A+ rated railings meet the Swedish Housing Authority's requirements for railings at a drop height of over 3 metres from floor level to ground level, and are therefore suitable for use in all types of residential environments, as well as public ones such as offices, restaurants and shops. Our A+ rated railings can handle loads of at least 1 kN/m, and those with glass include only safety glass that prevents personal injury in the event of impact.

Class A

A-rated railings meet the Swedish Housing Authority's requirements for railings at a drop height of over 3 metres from floor level to ground level, and are therefore suitable for use in all types of residential environments. Our A-rated railings can handle loads of at least 0.5 kN/m in line load and in cases where the railing has glass. Those with glass include only safety glass that prevents personal injury in the event of impact.

Class B

Class B railings are suitable for use in environments in which the level difference from floor to ground is 0.5-3 metres. Our B-class railings can withstand loads of at least 0.5 kN/m. Those with glass include only safety glass that prevents personal injury in the event of impact.

Class C

C-rated railings are suitable for use at ground level. Those with glass include only safety glass that prevents personal injury in the event of impact.
