Plate-Fix 0.74kN Option Specification

The AliRail Vertical Infill Plate-Fix 0.74kN Option is load tested in accordance with BS 6180:2011 (0.74kN/m horizontal line load, 0.5kN infill point load, 1.0kN/m2 infill distributed load).

Fixed to the front of the steel, the AliRail Vertical Infill plate-fix option allows for fewer connections into the steelwork and therefore less drilling is required.

This fixing option for our external metal balustrades achieves the residential balcony loading requirements, though, easily achieving the 0.74kN/m horizontal line load performance under test conditions.

The simplified connection detail means that installation is quick and easy, saving a huge amount of time on-site or at the balcony manufacturer’s factory.

Plate-Fix 0.74kN Load Test Result

Please note: Test result data is indicative only. Loading performance and ensuring the AliRail system integrates with specific balcony designs is the responsibility of the balcony designer. AliDeck has not performed any project-specific calculations, so the designer’s calculations must account for all relevant components.
